The U. N. Disposal of Eritrea
CUMMING, SIR DUNCAN
Articles
This forms the greater part of a lecture given on the 29th January, with Major-General Sir Richard Lewis in the Chair. In introducing the speaker General Lewis said that Sir Duncan Cumming had been one of the first to enter Eritrea when it was captured during the war and had been the last to leave in 1952. During, and after, the war, Sir Duncan had been responsible for the civil administration of all of the occupied Italian Colonies in the Middle East, of which Eritrea was one. In 1949, he returned to his own service in the Sudan and in February, 1951, when his predecessor retired from Eritrea owing to ill health, he consented to undertake the difficult task of implementing the United Nations resolution on Eritrea. In eighteen months he had to hold democratic general elections, in an area where such things were not well understood, to create a Government in accordance with the provisions of the constitution and the resolution, to create a civil service, which entailed as a starting point the elementary education of selected literates, and to leave the country with a balanced budget. Sir Duncan had not had a clean start at the job because at the time of his arrival in Eritrea it was not possible to move about freely. The local brigands had made unescorted movement unsafe: incidents occurred daily and murders and atrocities were frequent. By the late summer of 1951 he had made brigandage unprofitable and was able to turn to his constructive task. In doing so, he won the confidence and respect and, indeed, the affection, not of merely some of the conflicting interests but of them all.
