Yemen.
Beni Mukatil.
It appears that the Beni Mukatil recently came to an
understanding with the Imam, and facilitated his occupation of
the Harraz district. Their principal sheikh is Nashir
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.
.
They are a Shiah tribe of the Daudiyah sect, numbering some
2,500 fighting men. In 1911 during the siege of Menakhah
they fought against the Imam. (See “ Yemen Handbook,” p. 77.)
Sheikh Mohammed Nasir Mukbil.
This powerful Mawiya sheikh (see pp. 18, 122, 233 of 1918
^ ol.) appears to have supported the Turks to the last. Towards
the end of October he assisted them in an attack made on the Emir
of Dala for his refusal to pay taxes. The Turks are reported to
have given him twelve guns and 100 camel loads of ammunition,
presumably for this and similar objects. Since the Armistice,
however, he has made overtures to Aden, and at the end of
December was invited to come to Lahej for an interview with
Colonel Jacob.
Fhe Fadli Sulta?i.
The Fadli Sultan, Husein ibn Ahmed, has been to Aden in
an endeavour to renew friendly relations. He is now very old
and feeble and almost totally blind. He expressed his willingness
to nominate his grandson Abdul Kader as his successor, but
asked for British assistance in inducing him to accept the title.
W hen his attention was called to the behaviour of his son,
Abdullah ibn Husein, who had been raiding caravans passing
through his territory and levying unjustifiable taxes, he promised
to do all he could to stop him.
The Haushabi Sultan. '
Ali ibn Mani the Haushabi Sultan has also made overtures
t° Aden and come to Lahej at the end of December to interview
Colonel Jacob there.
Correction.
The former Ottoman allowance to the Emirs of Mecca, stated
in our No. 108, p. 2, last line but one, at L.T. 12,000 per mensem.
should have been L.T. 12,000, per annum.
