By an exchange of notes dated May 15th and 16th, 1935 between the Italian Minister at Addis Ababa and the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia, the Italian and Ethiopian Governments agreed to submit to the procedure of conciliation and arbitration provided for in Article 5 of the Treaty of Amity between Italy and Ethiopia of August 2nd, 1908, "the de facte circumstances of the incident which took place at Walwal on December 5th end 6 th, 1934, and the responsibilities in connection therewith." As it appears from Resolution No.l of the League Council dated May 25th, 1935, the cwo Govern­ ments also agreed to submit to the same procedure "incidents which have taken place on the Italo-Ethiopian frontier since December 5th, 1934." It was also stated in this resolution of the League Council that the Italian Government, in view of the request which had been made to it, raised no objection regarding the nationality of the arbitrators appointed by the Ethiopian Government. 2. The two Governments accordingly appointed as members of the Commission, the former, Count Aldrovandi, Ambassador of H. M. the King of Italy ana M. Montagna, Counsellor of State of the Kingdom of Italy, and the latter M. A. de Gcouffrs| de la Pradelle, Professor of International Law at the Uni­ versity of Paris, Director of the Institute of Intornational Studies and Mr. Pitman B. Putter, Professor of .International Organisation at the Graduate Institute of International Studies of Geneva, a citizen of the United 3tates of America. They also appointed as Agents attached to the Com­ mis si un, the former, M. S. Lessona, Professor at the Uni­ versity of Florence and the latter, M. G. Jeze, Professor at the University of Paris. 3. The Commission constituted as above held a first session at Milan on June 6 th and 7th, at which it laid down it5 procedure; its next meeting, which was to take place at Scheveningen (Netherlands) was postponed until June 25th to enable its members to take cognizance of the claims, argu­ ments, and evidence of the Parties. 4. On June 18th, 1935, the Ethiopian Government stated that it stood by the memoranda submitted by it to the League of Nations on January 15th and May 22nd, (C.4 9 .M.2 2 .1935.VII* and C.230.M.114.1935.VII ). On June 22nd, the Italian Government submitted to the arbitrators a memorandum specially prepared for them. - 3 - 5. The Commission, which met at Scheveningen on June 25th, 1935, heard the statement of the Italian Government's Agent. The Ethiopian Government’s Agent having, in the course of his statement in reply, touched on the question of the "ownership” of the territory in which Walwal is situated, the Italian Agent objected to the examination of this question which, in his Government's opinion, did not come within the Commission's competence. The members of the Commission disagreed as to their power to determine its competence, and regarding the recourse to the fifth arbitrator provided for by the Treaty of 1928. The Commission was accordingly obliged to suspend its proceedings on July 9th, 1935. 6 . The interlocutory question thus raised was settled by the league Council, to which the two Governments applied in order to obtain an interpretation of their agreement regarding the precise scope of the mission entrusted to the Commission of Conciliation and Arbitration. The Council was of opinion that the two Governments "did not agree 'that the Commission should examine frontier questions" and that consequently "the Commission must not, by its decision on the Walwal incident, prejudge the solution of questions which do not fall within its province, and that it would be prejudging that solution if it founded its decision on the opinion that the place at which'the incident occurred is under the sovereignty either of Italy or of Ethiopia". It considered that "while it is always open to the Commission to take into consideration, without entering upon any discussion on the matter, the conviction that was held by the local authorities on either side as to the sovereignty over the place of the incident, the Commission has not to taka into account the circumstance that Walwal is under the sovereign­ ty of one or other of the two parties, but must concern itself solely with the other elements in the dispute relating to the Walwal incident’’. It noted the declaration of the two parties to the effect that the four members of the Commission would proceed "without delay to designate the fifth arbitrator whose appoint­ ment might be necessary for the carrying through of their work". Lastly, the Council, "confident that the procedure would have brought about the settlement of the dispute before September 1st, 1935, invited the two Governments to inform it of the result not later than September 4th, 1935". 7. The Commission met at Paris on August 20th, 1935, and proceeded to designate the fifth arbitrator. Its choice unanimously fell upon M. N. Politis, Greek Minister at Paris, member of the French Institute and the Institut de Droit inter­ national , former Minister for Foreign Affairs, ex-President of the League Assembly, Honorary Professor in the Faculty of Law of Paris University, who was requested to assist it in the event of disagreement. - 4 - 8 . After hearing on that same day the statement of the Ethiopian Agent, the Commission decided to proceed to Berne'" to receive the depositions of a number of persons called by the Italian Government. 9. The depositions were made on August 23rd, 24th and 25th, 1935. They were followed by the final statement of each of the two Agents. 10. On its return to Paris on August 26th, the Committee began its discussions on the questions submitted for its con­ sideration. The four arbitrators were unable to agree either as to the actual circumstances of the Welwal incident or as to the responsibilities arising in connection therewith. 11. The intervention of the fifth arbitrator thus be­ came necessary. It took place on August 29th. 12. Having taken note of the general contents of the dossier, the various parts of which had been communicated to him on his appointment, the fifth arbitrator proceeded to dis­ cuss, in conjunction with the other members of the Commission, the pleadings on either side of the questions in dispute. 13. As a result of this discussion the Commission arrived at the following decision: THE WALWAL INCIDENT 14. The Walwal district, situated in a desert country and frequented by nomad tribes under the authority of Britain, Italy or Ethiopia, is of special importance owing to the wells, some 300 in number, in the territory, the water of which is indispensable for the requirements of the tribes in question and their livestock. 15. This area has been controlled since 1928, and per­ manently occupied since 1930, by the authorities of the Italian Somaliland Colony. 16. The Italian occupation of the area is symbolised by the fortified post of Walwal, which is subordinate to that of Warder, about 12^ km. distant. Although it has not been officially recognised by the Ethiopian Government, it never gave rise to any official protest from that Government until the Walwal incident. 17. This occupation had given the Italian authorities the conviction that the Walwal area was under Italian a u th o rity and was recognised by Ethiopia and the United IT: ngdom, inas­ much as it was a constant practice for the tribes under their influence to use the Walwal wells under the supervision of the Italian authorities. 18. On the other hand, the Ethiopian authorities were convinced that the area formed, part of their national terri­ tory. - 5 - 19. In recent years, mutual suspicion and animosity had developed between the Italian and Ethiopian authorities/ The Italian authorities became convinced that the Ethiopians had hostile intentions, and the Ethiopian authorities had the same conviction about the Italians.

  • TERRORISM THREAT in the COUNTRY A) Security Survey
    TERRORISM THREAT IN THE COUNTRY a) Security Survey In 2011, the threat of terrorism in the country rose up drastically largely from the threat we recorded and the attacks we began experiencing. Consequently, the service initiated a security survey on key installations and shopping malls. The objective was to assess their vulnerability to terrorist attacks and make recommendations on areas to improve on. The survey was conducted and the report submitted to the Police, Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Tourism. Relevant institutions and malls were also handed over the report. Subsequent security surveys have continued to be conducted. As with regard to the Westgate Mall which was also surveyed, the following observations and recommendations were made as per the attached matrix. Situation Report for 21.09.12 - Serial No.184/2012 Two suspected Al Shabaab terrorists of Somali origin entered South Sudan through Djibouti, Eritrea and Sudan and are suspected to be currently in Uganda waiting to cross into Kenya through either Busia or Malaba border points. They are being assisted by Teskalem Teklemaryan, an Eritrean Engineer with residences in Uganda and South Sudan. The duo have purchased 1 GPMG; 4 hand grenades; 1 bullet belt; 5 AK 47 Assault Rifles; unknown number of bullet proof jackets from Joseph Lomoro, an SPLA Officer, and some maps of Nairobi city, indicating that their destination is Nairobi. Maalim Khalid, aka Maalim Kenya, a Kenyan explosives and martial arts expert, has been identified as the architect of current terrorist attacks in the country. He is associated with attacks at Machakos Country Bus, Assanands House in Nairobi and Bellavista Club in Mombasa.

  • The Italian Legacy in Post-Colonial Somali Writing: Nuruddin Farah's Sardines
    THE ITALIAN LEGACY IN POST-COLONIAL SOMALI WRITING: NURUDDIN FARAH’S SARDINES GRAZIA SUMELI WEINBERG (University of South Africa) Sommario Scritta in lingua inglese, la prima trilogia dello scrittore somalo Nuruddin Farah, Variations on the Theme of an African Dictatorship, affronta il problema identitario nell’era postcoloniale che riguarda sia il singolo individuo che l’intera nazione, ora sconvolta dalla dittatura e da ideologie di dubbia matrice. L’Italia, la sua cultura e il passato coloniale, che sono ancora vivi nell’immaginario dei Somali negli anni Settanta in cui è ambientata l’opera, fungono da perno sul quale s’incentra tale argomento. È significativo in tal senso il secondo romanzo della trilogia, Sardines, dove il soggetto femminile, che subisce l’ignominia e le ingiustizie dell’asservimento – in Italia e in Somalia – prende coscienza della necessità di scegliere altre strade per ottenere l’autonomia. Contemporary novelist, short-story writer and playwright, Nuruddin Farah is the only Somali author to have achieved international renown for his works. Farah belongs to the second generation of modern African authors whose writings focus on post-colonial and post- nationalist concerns in their respective countries since independence from colonial rule. Their literary interests have shifted from, initially, the problematics of decolonization and nationalism to, more recently, those of self-rule. Simon Gikandi (2002:455) endorses this view and points out that the major concern of a contemporary African writer such as Farah is to break away from the paradigm of disillusionment with the ideals of nationalism, the latter no longer a manifestation of a common interest, and to turn instead to the issue of power and the 26 state.

  • I Witnessing and the Renegotiation of Traumatic Memory in Contemporary
    Witnessing and the Renegotiation of Traumatic Memory in Contemporary Italian Literature Joshua Carter ORCID ID: 0000-0003-1472-0466 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 May 2018 School of Languages and Linguistics The University of Melbourne i Abstract This thesis is the first to draw on witnessing theories explore the renegotiation of traumatic memory in a representative corpus of recent Italian trauma novels. The novels I have selected for this study are Regina di fiori e di perle (2007) by Gabriella Ghermandi, Oltre Babilonia (2008) by Igiaba Scego, and Timira: romanzo meticcio (2012) by Antar Mohamed and Wu Ming 2. These works variously narrate the intergenerational traumas caused by Italian colonisation, dictatorship, and civil war in Somalia and Ethiopia. Intergenerational trauma denotes a collective emotional and psychological injury that goes unresolved across multiple generations. In particular, these works more than any other Italian novels expose readers to the traumatic events of colonialism, dictatorship, and civil war, and the way these events are expressed through symptoms of unresolved trauma. As indicated in the trauma novels considered in this project, the victims of Italian colonialism do not have the opportunity to heal, and for this reason they pass the symptoms of their trauma on to successive generations. In their role as either trauma victims or empathetic listeners, characters resort to witnessing. In all three trauma novels characters turn to witnessing either as trauma victims or as empathetic listeners. Witnessing refers to Shoshana Felman and Dori Laub’s work on trauma, according to which a trauma victim requires the presence of an empathetic listener to recall and narrate their trauma.

  • La Busta Dell'ascari
    Kervan – International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies n. 24/1 (2020) La Busta dell’Ascari War propaganda in Oromo in Latin script from 19401 Mauro Tosco This article describes the first (and possibly only) issue of a four-pages newspaper issued by the Italian military command on the eve of the Second World War and designed to spread war propaganda among the Ascari, i.e., the Italian colonial troops. The main point of interest is provided by the use of four languages: Italian, Amharic, Arabic and Oromo, the latter written in Latin script and following the conventions of the Italian orthography. After an historical introduction (section 1.), sections 2. and 3. describe the orthography, language and contents of the Oromo text. Section 4. presents a large portion of the text itself, comparing it with the Italian text, analyzing it with the help of morphological glosses, and attempting a re-transcription in modern Oromo orthography. In the end, section 5. briefly comments on this historical document and the fate of this early attempt at writing down the Oromo language. 1. The Busta in its historical setting2 The object of the present notes is the first issue (and possibly the only one; see below) of a four-page bi-monthly newspaper published by the Italian military in East Africa on the eve of the Second World War and addressed to the colonial troops serving under Italian command. To the best of my knowledge, it has never been brought to the attention of linguists and historians. Still, it has a certain interest for its consistent use of four languages: Italian, Arabic, Amharic, and Oromo – the latter, and this is the main point of interest, in a rather idiosyncratic Latin script.

  • Ideology and Reception of Textbooks Under Italian Fascism
    CHILDREN’S UTOPIA / FASCIST UTOPIA: IDEOLOGY AND RECEPTION OF TEXTBOOKS UNDER ITALIAN FASCISM A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sylvia Tamara Hakopian August 2017 Copyright © 2017 Sylvia Tamara Hakopian All Rights Reserved CHILDREN’S UTOPIA / FASCIST UTOPIA: IDEOLOGY AND RECEPTION OF TEXTBOOKS UNDER ITALIAN FASCISM Sylvia Tamara Hakopian, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 ABSTRACT Capitalizing on children’s “extraordinary ability to learn,” Italian Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini decreed an order to issue five elementary school textbooks, known as the Libro unico dello Stato in 1926. Reaching across Italy’s geographic and multicultural barriers, the purpose of this state-issued textbook was to standardize Italian schooling and create a unified body of Fascist subjects. Yet, Fascist Italy’s new curricula proved anything but uniform, as the regime issued two distinct rural and urban editions of the Libro unico between 1929 and 1944 following Mussolini’s decree. Exploring tensions within the regime’s ideas on nationalism in a study that combines literary, theoretical, and historical analyses, my dissertation, Children’s Utopia / Fascist Utopia: Ideology and Reception of Textbooks under Italian Fascism, argues that the Libro unico served purposefully to stratify and not unify Italy’s student body at the primary school. Approaching my study of the regime’s education reforms, pedagogic manuals, and scholastic reading material through an Althusserian framework, my work diverges from the issues which current scholarship has tended to focus on (i.e. militarism, Aryanism, questione meridionale) and in this way offers a new perspective on Fascist cultural history.

Much of this existing research focuses on international diplomacy, but far less on people in East Africa. Regional actors, be it colonial officers, soldiers, or civilians, had a major impact on the conduct of the Second Italo-Ethiopian War. The main conflict that led to the outbreak of war, the December 1934 Welwel Incident, was not a conspiracy, but rather a culmination of several decades of tensions that escalated into an international affair.

  • Kismayu-Jubaland State, Somalia, Joint Cross Border Health Coordination Meeting Report
    KENYA AND SOMALIA JOINT CROSS-BORDER COORDINATION MEETING REPORT Figure 1:His Excellency Ahmed Mohamed Islam, President of Jubaland State of Somalia, addresses the meeting AGAN HOTEL, KISMAYU-JUBALAND STATE OF SOMALIA. SEPTMEBER 25-27, 2018 Introduction Poliovirus does not respect geographical boundaries and poses a great challenge to the vulnerable population living along the HOA border areas. The low population immunity among the population living along the border and hard to reach areas makes them vulnerable to the spread of infectious diseases as they share common ecology, culture, mobile population, low socioeconomic among other risk factors. These characteristics contribute to making routine immunization, disease surveillance and rapid response in border areas critical for preventing or containing the spread of infectious diseases between countries. According to WHO, Somalia is one of the countries in the “wild poliovirus importation belt” – a band of countries stretching from West Africa to Central Africa and the Horn of Africa, which are recurrently re-infected with imported poliovirus. Somalia also has the second worst rate of polio vaccination in the world after Equatorial Guinea according to WHO. The priority is to maintain high levels of immunity and strong disease surveillance, to minimize the risk and consequences associated with a potential re-infection or re-emergence of poliovirus. Somalia at one time was polio-free for six years, however, despite achieving this polio-free status, Somalia has had a sustained circulation of vaccine-derived polioviruses since 2009. This status has been attributed to low routine Immunization coverage and lack of supplementary immunization activities in insecure areas.
