(b) British Protected Persons and persons who had become
British Subjects by reason of the 1920 annexation, ordinarily
resident in the ceded territory, would acquire Italian nationality
and cease to be British subjects or British Frotected Persons;
such persons, other than Somalis and members of the native races of
the area, could retain their existing nationality provided they
renoved from the ceded area within 12 months of the Treaty's coming
into force.
(c) These last-named rights were also granted to a limited
→
number of Somalis who would become separated from their families by
the new frontier their number being limited (from necessity) by the
cater and pasturage resources of the area.
TOPES
(i) In effect non-African British subjects were entitled to
retain that status without moving out of the ceded
territory, and British subjects of African race and British
Protected Persons (practically all African in race) could
only retain their British status by withdrawing from the
area. The F.O. thought this latter class not reasonably
entitled to retain their British status if they elected
to remain in the ceded area. (ii) Britain was also anxious to
prevent a large migration of Somalis to British territory,
and Italy was anxious to avoid an exodus at all, and by
Article 9 of the treaty both Powers undertook to try to
prevent such migration (the danger of it was due to special
0 circumstances here).
