Welwel, Ethiopia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welwel, or Walwal, (Italian Ual-Ual), is a village in the Somali Region of Ethiopia, in the Ogaden near Somalia. Walwal was the oasis in Ethiopia where a border clash occurred in 1935 between the Kingdom of Italy and Ethiopian Empire. Benito Mussolini used this incident as a pretext to invade Ethiopia, beginning the Second Italo-Abyssinian War.
