The Territory of "Greek Somaliland" as it called was never really its own nation. In 1823 when Greece gained it's freedom, it began an "Open Door Policy" to fleeing Jewish refugees as other nations in Europe were begginning to be hostile towards their Jewish citizens. In 1893, Greece knew things in Libya did not look so good, turned to Abyssinia.
In 1893 Greece sent cartogrpahers to map an area of Ethiopia the size of *here*'s Eritrea/Djibouti.Within months the cartographers returned by way of Yemen to Greece with what seemed to be a fairly accurate map. So for 3 years, the ruling class of society began to plotting as to how to relocate Greek citizens to an alien land.
