including /iubarah according "to the map connected to the
agreement* Your Honour confirmed this without hesitation.
It is now surprising as to the creation of this new claim
on the part of His Highness the Ruler of Bahrain about
Zubarah
18th-century town located 105 km from Doha.
. Today after the conclusion of the Treaties
between us and the High British Government and after that
of the negotiation and the granting of concession of
all Qatar,
Zubarah
18th-century town located 105 km from Doha.
etcetera without exception. If there
was any smallest fllaim or the slightest doubt on the part
of the Bahrain people they would have not left out and
ignored it in these conditions and during all these changes.
But they knew that they have no right to the same.
I am sure therefore that you are aware of all these
proofs and contexts and see that this claim of theirs is
useless and they have not the slightest connection or
right to what they claim. I hope that your Honour will
consider this matter keeping a limit for this encroachment
and c ausing the settlement of this case of putting an end
to the dispute, because, as it seems to you the claim of
Bahrain people to our boundary is keroby useless and
agressive one. fm I am confident of your nobility and
justice and your inclination of the right side • You
will not agree to the usurpation of our rights and will
prefer right and justice in any way. I have also to draw
your attention to tb&r friendly relations existing between
me and the High British Govermaent and to the Treaties
which are known to you. I am still the same friend
that always wishes to preserve what would satisfy the
High British Government and please t em.

About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence related to tensions between Bahrain (and the Al Naim tribe) and Qatar concerning the ownership of Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. on the Qatar peninsula that took place between March and June 1937.
At this time, the Al Naim tribe were allied to the Al Khalifa ruling family of Bahrain who claimed Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. as a part of their own territory (the family had been based there before their conquest of Bahrain in 1783). The British authorities did not recognise the Al Khalifa's claim to Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. and mediated between the two sides. The file contains extensive details of this mediation process.
