In June, a group consisting of 40 men, women, and children crossed from Abyssinia to the Karmak center, fleeing the persecution of Sadiq al-Watwat. They settled in the "Shima" area, but these were soon pursued and forcibly returned to Abyssinia. The inspector of the South Fung center, James Robertson, reported the incident via telegram to the British Foreign Office, and the incident was raised in the House of Commons. Emperor Haile Selassie quickly convened a joint conference of border officials from both countries in Karmak.
