AGE-OLD CONFLICTS IN AFRICA
ECHO PRESENT ITALIAN CLASH
By MELVIN E. COLEMAN
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
Italy clashing with Abyssinia and
"pacifying” southern Libya, the
French foreign legion slogging thru
sand to fight Berbers, Spanish sol
diers guarding Moroco—they're all
just modern reflections of one of the
oldest rivalries in history—the con
test between southern Europe and
northern Africa.
Spanning or circling the blue Med
iterranean, Latin stock has fought
Arabic stock in those arenas since al
most the beginning of human re
cords.
Alexandria by its name still test
ifies to the time that Alexander the
Great added Egypt to his Macedon
ian empire. Ancient Rome strove
through three Punic wars, spaced
from 24(1 to 14(1 B. C.. to overcome
the North Africans of Carthage.
A wave of Saracens swept from
the Red Sea to the Atlantic, crossed
the straits of Gibralter and overran
Spain in 711 A D., staying there for
300 years.
Some 400 years later Spain wa.;
fighting the Moors in northern Af
rica.
In 1859 and 1893 there were wars
between Spain and Morocco, but pro
babiy the most dramatic modern
struggles took place there 14 years
ago.
Riffs Finally Defeated
The next year they tried again
and were repulsed and it was not un
til 1923 that Spanish arms could
claim a decisive victory over the
RifTs. That chapter of military his
tory still echoed in the revolution
which dethrone Alfonso XIII in
1931.
France’s experiences in Tunisia,
Algeria and French Morocco also
were trying. In 1830 the bey of Al
giers hit a French commissioner
with a fly swatter and it took 30,000
French troops to win the resulting
war.
France has been fighting in Moroc
co for a century. There was war
there in 1844 and 1859. After the
world war France started a system
atic “pacification.” In the fall of
1925, Ahd-el-Krim, victor over the
Spanish, attacked the French. Mar
shals Lyautey and Petain entered a
joint action arrangement with the
Spanish command and the Rifliian
warrior was squeezed into submis
sion.
What Fiance hopes was its “final
pacification campaign” was carried
out last autumn in the southeast cor
l ner of Morocco.
Trouble For Italy
In 1899 Italy tried to establish a
protectorate over all of Abyssinia.
A seven-year effort ended disastr
ously in 1896 when King Menelik,
with 80,000 Ethiopians, annhilated
12,000 Italians at Adowa. The Ab
yssinian monarch made no attempt
to drive onward into Eritrea and the
latter was constituted a colony in
1890.
That was just a year after Italy
had acquired a “sphere of influence"
in Somaliland by treaties with na
tive chiefs, Great Britain, Zanzibar
and Abbyssinia. The assimilation
process was completed in 1905 when
the sultan of Zanzibar accepted $720,
000 for his “soveregn rights."
In 1908 the boundary between Ital
ian Somaliland and Abbyssinia was
fixed, on paper, by treaty with Mene
lik. It was a survey of that paper
line which brought on the first clash
es of the present imbroglio.
Shrimp—That banker isn’t so bad
as people think he is. He’s really a
very good fellew when you know
him. I went in to him only last
week to borrow $1,000 and he receiv
ed me very cordially.
Sorghum—Did he lend you the
money.
Shrimp—No he didn't, but he hes
itated a minute before refusing me.
