  • The Hewett Treaty, also called the Treaty of Adwa, was an agreement between Britain, Egypt and Ethiopia signed at Adwa on 3 June 1884. The treaty ended a long-simmering conflict between Egypt and Ethiopia, but indirectly started a new conflict between Ethiopia and Italy. It had seven articles. The terms of the treaty were negotiated at Asmara, in the northern reaches of the Ethiopian empire, by Mason Bey for Egypt, Admiral William Hewett for Britain and Ras Alula, also acting as host, for Ethiopia. Once terms had been agreed, the party moved to Adwa, where the treaty was presented to Emperor Yohannes IV of Ethiopia. The emperor demanded a seaport for Ethiopia, but later compromised. The final treaty represented a triumph of Anglo-Egyptian interests. The first article of the treaty provided that Ethiopia would have free transit for all goods, including arms, through the port of Massawa. Britain undertook to protect this right. In the second article, Egypt returned Bogos, occupied since 1868, to Ethiopian control. In the third article, Ethiopia agreed to assist the evacuation of Egyptian troops from Kassala, and Senhit. In the fourth article, Egypt agreed to permit the passage of newly-appointed Abunas to Ethiopia. In the fifth article, Egypt and Ethiopia agreed to the extradition of criminals. In the sixth article, Ethiopia agreed to accept British arbitration in any case of disagreement with Egypt over the terms of the treaty. Shortly after its ratification, the Italians occupied Massawa, which had been evacuated by Egypt, with tacit British approval. (en)
  • Le traité d'Adoua est signé le 3 juin 1884 entre l'Empire éthiopien, l'Égypte et le Royaume-Uni. Il est également appelé traité Hewett du nom du négociateur britannique sir William Hewett. Le traité interrompt le conflit égypto-éthiopien. En échange d'un soutien éthiopien au Soudan, en particulier à l'évacuation des troupes défaites par les Mahdistes soudanais, l'Éthiopie récupère quelques territoires occupés par l'Egypte, en particulier la région du Bogos et Kassala. Un autre point central est la question du libre transit des marchandises à Massawa, principal port de l'Éthiopie. Les Britanniques l'acceptent, et une cession du port de Zula à l'Éthiopie aurait même été envisagée . Cependant le 5 février 1885, huit mois après la signature, Londres laisse l'Italie occuper Massawa. C'est à la suite de ce traité que le negus Yohannes IV entre en conflit avec les Mahdistes, au cours duquel il meurt à la bataille de Metemma en 1888 après le pillage de Gondar. Pour les analystes contemporains, ce traité est vu comme ayant finalement été un leurre pour l'Éthiopie, qui n'y a pas gagné un accès à la mer, n'a finalement obtenu que peu de territoires (Kassala n'est en fait pas obtenue, occupée par les Mahdistes puis les Italiens, avant d'être cédée au Soudan en 1897) et s'est trouvée entraîné dans un conflit difficile contre le Soudan.
