Extract from a note on an interview with Saiyid
Shahab bin Faisal, Minister for External Affairs, Muscat,
on February 5th, 1941, at 10 a.m. at the Consulate.
rt l. Saiyid Shahab said that he had received letters from
the Wall of Sohar which had been addressed to Haradan bin
Saliym by Zahar bin Ghausn and A1 Be^eshi to the effect that
the Imam has control of Ibri and that A1 Rekesni has been
appointed Wali oil behalf of the Imam. Further, that the
situation is calm and that in future the law of the Shara will
govern Ibri. Saiyid Shahab has also heard that the Beni
Kalban^still recalcitrant and are prepared to resist by force
any attempt on the part of the Imam to enter their country.
It is rumoured that the Imam has disbanded his force at Bahlah
on an undertaking having been given by Sheikh Suleiman bin
Hamiyar to be responsible for the conduct of the Ghafiri tribes.
Saiyid Shahab has suggested to the Adviser that it would be a
good thing to hold a training camp at Adhaba, and it is probable
that certain of the Bait-al-Falaj troops will move out for
further training within a week. Saiyid Shahab's idea is that
the purpose for which the troops are going to Adhaba should not
be announced and that the Imam should thereby find himself in
some doubt about the exact reason for this move. Adhaba is
where the
Wadi
A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows.
Samail track leaves the coast and is about
fifteen miles from here.”
