- Title:
- Treaty with the Idrisi Saiyid. No 33A of 1915. Government of India Foreign and Political Department
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains a 'Treaty of Friendship and Goodwill' and is signed by David George Levigne Shaw, the Political Resident in Aden, on behalf of the British Government, and by Saiyid Mustafa bin Saiyid Abdu'l 'Ali on the part of His Eminence Saiyid Muhammad bin Ali bin Muhammad bin Ahmed bin Idris, the Idrisi Saiyid and Amir of Sabia and its environs. The document is also signed by Harold Fenton Jacob, First Assistant Resident in Aden. The Treaty seeks to unite the British Government and the Idrisi Saiyid against Turkish [Ottoman] incursions in Aden and Yemen more generally. Though the main focus of the document is the provision of diplomatic and moral support, paragraph 7 of the Treaty confirms that the British Government will support the Idrisi against Turkey through the supply of 'funds and munitions'.
The Treaty is prefaced by two letters: one signed by various government officials including the Viceroy of India, and one written by David George Levigne Shaw. Both letters provide their opinions on the Treaty.
