Articles 6 and 7 of the Anglo-Italian Agreement of July 1934
provided:
10
(a) Security of
property of British subjects remaining in
Jubaland (other than those, largely African, who had only become
British subjects by reason of the annexation of Kenya Colony).
(b) Liberty of the same to withdraw from the ceded territory
within 12 months of the treaty's coming into force.
(this
(c) Liberty for all who wished to move from the ceded
territory because of the nationality provisions to take with them
their moveable property without payment of any export duty and to
retain their immoveable property within the ceded territory;
was mainly for the benefit of those carrying on business there).
(a) All concessions and rights to property of private persons
or corporations which had been recognised as valid by the former
government, were recognised as valid by the succeeding government,
which would also take over all rights and obligations of the former
government in respect of that property!
(e) A general provision (put in at Italian government's request
provided that all these rights and concessions should be exercised
in accordance with the general laws of the Italian Colony of
Somaliland:
(f) The Italian Government undertook to respect the rights of
the Sudanese pensioners remaining at Yonte a special class of
persons who had earlier served in the British forces.
NOTES
(i) The nomadism and regular migration of the Somalis and
other tribes in this area whose aridity made such
habits necessary, continued to cause problems for
which no treaty arrangements could provide adequate
safeguards. But respect for other rights of property
and movement appear to have been satisfactory.
