- Title:
- File 22/8 II Dubai Affairs
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence between British officials regarding political developments in Dubai, primarily the impact (and continuation) of events as described in file IOR/R/15/2/2009, in which a reform movement opposed to Dubai's ruler emerged in the Shakyhdom but was subsequently quashed. The aftermath of this incident led to tensions between Dubai and Sharjah and a detailed account of these events is contained between folios 50-55.
The file also contains details of an alleged conspiracy against Dubai's ruler which resulted in five alleged conspirators being blinded. The file contains two accounts of this event written by witnesses (using pseudonyms). These accounts were sent to the editor of al-Bahrayn newspaper in Bahrain but were intercepted by the British authorities.
The majority of the correspondence is in English and between British officials, but the file also contains a limited amount of correspondence with local rulers that is in Arabic (with English translations).
