Abstract:The Sudan archives in Khartoum contain rich sources of information on Ethiopia, ranging from files on frontier, postal, telegraph and customs conventions with Eritrea to information concerning indigenous languages, and files on the trade in ivory and cattle. Reginald Wingate was, if not the creator of the Sudan intelligence service, its major systematizer and reorganizer. Focusing on Ethiopia's relations with the Sudan from the period of the reconquest of the Sudan by the Condominium up to the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935, this paper looks at these intelligence sources, also paying attention to two spies and the information they collected for their 'employers'.
