We asked him about your condition and your well-being, and we understood that there is friendship and kinship on all sides. We accepted and appreciated the statement that you approved of and settled for the commercial route from Aseb to Shewa passing through our land. Thus we ordered our people to bring down their commercial caravans to Aseb. As for the conditions and the terms (al-qanṭaraz), we leave it for Sultan Minīlik so that he

Traditional monarchies tended to survive in small-population, unmobilised (or communally divided) societies, mostly in the Arabian Peninsula. Tribal chiefs-turned-state-elites sought legitimacy through traditional versions of Islam and the manipulation of tribal and kinship links now reinforced by the creation of new bureaucracies and Western or oil-financed patronage. The main threat was from Egyptian sponsored Pan-Arabism, which found resonance among the small but

This was expressed in Labour’s early years through a commitment to the international socialist and trade union movements and through Labour’s campaigns for labour movements overseas.
