Abdallah II has maintained himself for six years against the rebellion of his brother Saud.
The succession dispute continues as a drought that had begun in 1870 exacerbates the civil war's effects.
Abdallah and his loyal brother Muhammad had at first proved too strong for Saud, but in December 1870, Saud, aided by the rulers of Oman, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain, defeats the forces of Abdallah at the Battle of Judah and captures Muhammad.
