After compliments.
It has come to my knowledge that one of the chiefs of
the *AJman, Ifoaldan bln Hlthl&in, has raided some of the
hut air and ' Ajman tribesmen In Kumit territory. X 9m V#xy
sorry that this raid has taken place, firstly because It
wks done without my permission , and in spite of thevstriet
orders which I had issued to all tribal chiefs to keep
peace and order - the raiders however thought that they \
would take revenge for what took place at bhadhaf (regard^
which I addressed you In my letter No.b 2 of a?th Eastadhaa
and May and say that they only took this aetiai
when they saw the tribesmen who had raided Shadhaf amongst
those whom they raided. Secondly I regretth&t it took plaee
in the territory of Kuwait, the friend of both His Majesty 1 1
Government and myself. It must not be lost sight of that If
I do not punish the tribes the matter will no doubt grow an
become more difficult, but what prevents me from punishing
them straight away is the fear that the offenders will fle<
to 1 Iraq and take refuge with the Government of > Iraq, as
happened last year when I tried to punish the tribes which
had joined Xusuf al-Mansur in raiding the bhafir. On that
♦ -
occasion they fled from my territory to ’Iraq, where they
were welcomed lay the King of f Iraq, and began to stir up
trouble, and to rob and pillage and then take refuge in
' Ira .. Since then I have not been able to give the tribes
the chance of fleeing to *Iraq and taking refuge there* If
however His Majesty’s Goverm^ent will assist me in expellli^
the guilty tribes now in •Iraq, and will promise me on beiuC
behalf of the Governments under her mandate and protection
thr t those Governments will not give asylum and protection.
