Somaliland refused to inherit the 1897 treaty ceding the Haud to Ethiopia.

Evidence

After independence, the union of Somalia with the British Protectorate added a new complication. In their negotiations with the British government the Protectorate leaders formally refused to endorse the provisions of the Anglo-Ethiopian treaty of 1897 which they were considered to fall heir to in succession to Britain. However questionable in international law, their attitude was that they could hardly be expected to assume responsibility for a treaty which, without Somali consent and in defiance of prior Anglo-Somali agreements, eventually led to Ethiopia’s acquisition of the Haud. — I.M.
