Abyssinians Recover Big Area As Offensive advances threaten Makale
Desaie reporter notes Abyssinian recapture of 2,500 square miles, totaling about 4,000 square miles since the offensive began. Italian communications between Makale and Adows are perilous as rain and mud slow supplies. Abyssinian leaders predict Makale capture within days, while terrain narrows escape routes. Heavy rains turn roads to mud, hindering transport to Italian troops and raising risk of defeat. Major General Temperley cites Italian facilities fading as invaders push toward fortifications with rail reinforcements planned.
