British occupation of Ethiopia stimulated trade that young Somalis exploited

Evidence

Hussen looked around for employment opportunities but realized that he had to do something independently for himself. He met one of his brothers, Abdisamad, who was a domestic assistant for an Italian in Barava. Abdisamad suggested that the two of them should pool their savings, buy a truck from one of their cousins, and take advantage of the increased trade generated as a result of British occupation of Ethiopia. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 193
