What was the wal wal incident?

From http://www.linkethiopia.org/guide/pankhurst/twentieth_century/twentieth_century_8.html

"The Italian pretext for invasion came with the Wal Wal incident which took place little more than a year after Mussolini's above-mentioned talks with De Bono. On 23 November 1934 an Anglo-Ethiopian boundary commission, which had been surveying the frontier between British Somaliland and Ethiopia, arrived at Wal Wal, 100 kilometres within Ethiopia. There they were confronted by an Italian force, which had earlier arrived from Somalia. The British members of the commission protested at the Italian presence, but then withdrew to avoid an "international incident". The Ethiopians on the other hand faced the Italians for about a fortnight, until a shot of indeterminate, but probably Italian, origin, precipitated a clash. The Italians responded by despatching an ultimatum to Ethiopia. They demanded 20,000 in damages, a formal apology, a salute to the Italian flag, and the punishment of the Ethiopian troops involved. These terms, which would have constituted recognition of Italian sovereignty over Wal Wal, were considered unacceptable by the Ethiopian Government. Haile Sellassie therefore sought arbitration in accordance with the Ethio-Italian Treaty of 1928. Mussolini rejected this proposal. The Emperor thereupon took the matter to the League of Nations, which spent the next eleven months in fruitless discussion, during which fascist Italy accelerated its preparations for war."
