Shejkh Slwani ^l-Shallal, head of the Soomhi (?) tribe, to
whom history bears evidence that he was the first rebel against
the English in the blessed rebellion. Tne bheikh sent him
with me out of pity and brotherly care. Ke is my fellow-worker
in all my activities, and all of us are guests of the Wekil of
the Emir of Medina by the order of Kis Majesty. In fact we
have been received with all welcome, honour and extreme respect.
This is all becoming to that great house, and not to be wondered
at. I may say that 5 or 6 of the most distinguished of my
ancestors had friendly relations and tribal allowances with
the ancestors of H.M. the Imam and King Abdel Aziz Al Seoud,
to which the history of the two families bears witness. Two
of ray forefathers were captured by the Turks and crucified in
Mardine and their graves are still to be found - as a result
of their helping the Seoudis. You know that the Shawiya tribe
were of grejt influence at that time, and helped Secudi in an
important affair which I cannot now describe in detail owing
to lack of space. Slanderers intrigued against them and two
of them were executed. On the other hand, Al Seoud did many more
favours to the Shawiya tribe. The Shammar tribe invaded Al-
Goweiha, the centre of our tribes called El Abeed, of whom
El-Shawiya was one . There came to Al-Seoud one of the Shawiya
as I do now, with the difference that I am on motor cars and he
was on camels with his servants. When he arrived they gave
him thousands of Mardoufs (a mardouf means a person (?) on a
camel) and supplied them with gifts. They all went to Iraq
and drove the Sharnmir away from Al-Goweiha (or Al-Howeiga),
the dwelling place of our tribes El Abeed. They are still
living in it under the protection of Seoudi and it is situated
in Lewa Karkouk.
Now, Ogeil el Yawer desires to lay his hands on the
Howeiga, as he and Noury are servants of the English and by
a hint from their masters they meant to crush me. M*y God
/crush *.
About this item
- Content
This summary, compiled by the Middle East Intelligence Centre, uses information received through Anglo-Egyptian censorship to provide a picture of various subjects relating to Nazi Germany including:
- Germany. Internal Conditions;
- conditions in neutral territories;
- military information;
- economic warfare;
- evasions of censorship;
