Hewett Treaty[edit]

The mention given in this article to it seems inaccurate. the Historical Dictionary of Ethiopia suggests that it only provided for the free transit of goods, not the transfer of territory. If anyone can find/provide the actual text of the treaty however that would clarify the issue (particularly the english copy). Merhawie (talk) 05:31, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
