Ual-Ual Incident

The Ual-Ual Incident or Walwal Incident was an armed conflict in which Ethiopian troops attacked the Italian garrison in Ual-Ual. On 5 December 1934, after a few weeks of tension between the garrison and Ethiopian armed men, a violent firefight began for the possession of the locality, which was located in a strip of disputed territory. According to the Ethiopians, Ual-Ual had been illegitimately occupied by the Italians since 1926 but, in this incident, Italian control over Ual-Ual was confirmed. The conflict ended with an agreement under the League of Nations but Fascist Propaganda made it a Casus belli for the War of Ethiopia.
