but of recent years the Buremfs have given little trouble. Recently,
however, several petty Shaikhs, who have hitherto been considered
Buremis, have asserted their independence with a view to obtaining
separate presents for themselves from Government. The fact that
'Alawf bin ’AH supports their contention is an indication of his
weakness.

inclusion on the Turkish side of the border. Juban, Nawa, Rubieten
and Bani Dthabiani form a coterie in offensive and defensive league

Brother of the late ’Akrabf Shaikh and uncle of the present
Shaikh of the ’Akrabi tribe, Shaikh Fadthl bin Abdulla. A shrewd
old man of about 60 years of age who pressed his claim to succeed
to the chiefship upon his brother's death in March 1905 with some
insistance. The 'Akrabi tribe preferred to elect Shaikh Fadthl bin
Abdulla.
(21) 'Ali Askar, Shaikh (Upper Yafai).
He, with Mohsin Askar his brother, represents the Ahl Nakib
of the Mausatta clan. They are styled “ Fathers of Yafa Unfor

his. Age 37. Lives at Khatabia or Karyat al Kadthi, but the

members of his clan who murdered a postal runner and looted the
Government mails within British limits in January 1906. His stipend
has been withheld pending compliance with our demands. I his
has partly been the cause o\ recent dissensions among his adherents,
some of whom have left him and joined Said ba All. Personally
this Shaikh is weak and unable, even if he had the will, to control his
unruly following. He succeeded his brother Ahmed ba Saleh in
July 1905.
