Abdulaziz bin Humaid Al Nuaimi was Ruler of Ajman, one of the Trucial States, which today form the United Arab Emirates (UAE), from 1900 to 1910.
[1] He steered Ajman through a period in which tribal conflicts triggered instability throughout the coast but was to ultimately meet the fate he had himself engineered for his predecessor.
Although this plan was ultimately frustrated by the Rulers of the northern emirates, Abdulaziz inherited the problem when a section of the Sudan (singular: Al Suwaidi) tribe requested permission from the British Resident to settle Al Zorah and were granted this in 1897, with the support of Zayed.
The permission was consequently revoked and, visiting the area of Al Zorah in 1905, Percy Cox came to the conclusion that no such settlement should take place without the unanimous consent of the Trucial Sheikhs.
This triggered a general outrage and a mob formed, killing Yaqoot and forcing Mohammed bin Rashid to flee for his life into the desert.
