Haile Selassie’s Qabradare speech accelerated British concessions to Somalis.

Evidence

The new nationalist fervour which had been aroused, however, was not to be quenched and received further impetus from the Ethiopian Emperor’s speech on 25 August at Qabradare in the Ogaden when he claimed that the Somali people were part of the ‘Great Ethiopian family’ and asserted that, inevitably, the future advancement of Somalis lay with Ethiopia. There was consequently a renewed upsurge of political activity, and the former mood of quiescent acceptance of British Administration began to give place to increasingly urgent demands for fuller autonomy. — I.M.
