I hope the italians come back once more and take only northern slaves back to their country.

the day people learned not to mess with Ethiopia but people always try and they all ways fail.

Those of you ONLF, OLF and You bastard left over Shabiya's. When you mess with mother Ethiopia your end is like what you saw above to this facist Musolin. Beware it is just a matter of time. Those of you anti-Ethiopian elements this message is for you too. You can run but you can hide. Good bless Ethiopian its true childrens. Thank you

the picture of Mosoloni hanging up side down is one of the most powerful pictures I have ever seen. i hope Eritreans and their cult leader learn some thing from it and start behaving like a civilized society which they are not. It's shameful to see people who look like us worship and romanticize a loser like Mosoloni. I wish eritreans change their skin color to save us embarrassment.they are disgusting people

Long Live Ethiopian Martyrs!

May the Country for which they died for, live in freedom forever!

May the Memory of these extraordinary country folks, great heroes of this not ordinary Nation, live forever!

May the future generations learn a great deal from the exemplary and courageous act of those Martyrs who fell in Maichew and other Ethiopian trenches!

Long Live Ethiopian Patriots!

proud MT

We have to be proud of this victory which was achieved by our dedicated and wonderful fathers who gave their life for the freedom of our country. Due to this sacrifice, todaay we are absolutely free psycologically as well as intelectually. This means that those who were colonized by foreign countries are still suffering due to the effect of european colonization. However, today, the question is not the same. In our turn, we should fight povery and illiteracy in our country. We have to dedicate our selfs for the irradication of poverty from our country. Besides, some ignorant peoples are still condamning Italy for this colonization. We have to see how German and France are working together, however, they fought a very sever war during the second world war. Some ethiopians are even accusing the Universal Catholic Church as if the Pope blessed Mussolini which is absolutely baseless accusation. So instead of just talking about the past, following the good example of our fathers, let's unit and work togehter for the well being of our Country.
Have a nice day,

Italy invaded Ethiopia from the East,the Ogaden region and from the north Eri/tigray.The Somali Ogadenis resisted and fought very hard against the fascist army @ Walal worada,in Wardher Zoon,which was where the first invasions bullet started.They never relaxed Mosulins army with solid defense of Ogaden Hisboch while Highlanders drinking the Teji and Tigrochji(the Bandas) in cooperations with fascist army of Musalines.

However,Haileselessie,or else leaders of Ethiopia never mention and counted as their wars and ignored the Somalis patriotism's, except of few awards given to certain Somali Ogadens chiefs by Improper Haileselse,whom were also his very close friends.

However,in this modern days of Ethiopia,its still,missing the history of Ogadenis wars against invasions of the fascist army, while other parts of the country overwritten and exaggerated their victorious in many chapters of Ethiopia history.


Check history.

What a generation what a people forever I am proud of them and grateful for the confidence these guys give us for all of us….they scarify and make million Ethiopian to walk our heads up, to tell our forefather heroism to the world, to make that land a very unique place in the black nation, they fought without modern weapon, they fought barefoot, they fought without division based on religion or ethnic they stand one because of that they defeat the most powerful nation of their time…. All they have the love of their country and trust on their almighty God.

However it sad we us their son and daughter became the most lost generation, we can't even keep what they pass it to us… they give their life for the unity of Ethiopia but in their foot we have Melese… what a shame and sad story…

All the white powers were either with the Fascists or didn't care either way.

We were brain washed

If it wasn't for the English, we would have been the same as other African countries, Colonised.

Growing up, I did not know all the facts. I jut knew that Ethiopia
beat Italy. Now that I have read the fact, I have to give credit where
credit is due. The English helped Ethiopia.

The facts are:

England was in a war with Germany. Hitler and Moslini were best mates
and they wanted to take over Europe.

Hitler needed Mosolini's help in defeating England. England knew Italy had a lot of her army in Ethiopia. To avoid both Italy and Germany attacking them,
the brits helped Ethiopia. When the Ethiopians got stronger, Mosolini had to send more of his troops towards Ethiopia. This relived the pressure off England.
It meant England did not get over powered by two countries. Now, it was just one on one for them with Germany and that was how Churchill wanted it.

It was all like a chess game. The Italians got caught in two minds. They were neither here or there and that gave Ethiopia the chance to defeat them.

In concussion, we were given a chance and we took it. No doubt that our fathers were brave and did die for our country but without the help of the English, I don't think we would have won the war in late 1930s and early 40s.

Our country was under such pressure from the Italians, Janhoy himself was in exile in Bath England for 4 years between 1936 - 1940. We were well occupied for a good 4 years and just before the 2nd world war, we were under control by Italy all but by name.




Facts are Facts and this is what we should be teaching our kids. Not some false propaganda
like we were fed.

Now, the first time we beat Italy, back in the early 19th cen, we did beat them good and proper.
Like our fathers say, be akafana bedoma.

while the Shabians supported the white donkeys, we fought and liberated ourself. what a proud nation. We are a free nation from colonialist.
I would prefer to die for my country freedom than kissing the fascist Italian boots like those shabians.
my hate to the Fadcist Italian & bandits Shabians are extreme.

FREE AND PROUD ETHIOPIA FOREVER!
ENATE ETHIOPIA YEDEFERSHE YEWUDEM!

We will remember our Fathers forever. We can't and we will not our fallen heroes be forgotten, We love you and respect you. We will always do what's necessary to keep our country free.

Shame on the supporter of Fascist Italian from Akleguzaye, Hamasen. History will remember your slavery betrayal.

I Love Ethiopia!

This is a day of remembrance, to my father who had a vivid memory of this very day for the rest of his life as four the thousands of other Ethiopian patriotic families.

To the racist historical experience it is Aduwa not Michew that is registered as the day of infamy and the humiliation of the White Supremacy myth that was misspelled by the gallant of those who fought and repelled the miss adventure of racists with a bitter after taste of everlasting humiliating defeat a mark of hot stigma and insignia on their foreheads and butts.

One of the historical parralles of this unfateful day has been the invasion of Ethiopia by the merciless WOYANE who killed hundereds of demonstarters on the streets of Addis and in the provincial towns. It is my belief that the Woyane leader, MELES ZENAWI, is no better than DUCE Mussolini.

dear warior dedebu minalk bakih

dabo bela,

Afer blaa how an earth you try to discredit the sacrifice our people made unless of course you are the traditional banda from Mereb Melash. our people were master gassed and mass murdered simply because they refused to be colonized unlike eritreans who immediately Got addicted to the Italian rape and started fighting us along side them. it's true ethiopia was supported by the british but can your damn a*ss tell me if you know of any world war which doesn't involve more than two nations? the british might have supported ethiopians with modern weapons but ethiopians gave their precious life to defend their country. again, ethiopia was supported so did Italy, by 150 000 askaris out of the then 750 000 eritrean population. in the end what mattered was ethiopia's territorial integrity was restored and the loser got hanged in public and the askaris left high and dry to worship the Italian cemetery in Asmara. they may not like this fact but we the 80 million ethiopians will always cherish the fact that we have never been colonized cheers, eat your rotten heart out. too bad you are not ethiopian

remember ABDISA AAGAA. . . the one who closed the road to whites!

Proud Ethiopians remained proud as Real Ethiopians.

You damn WOYANE HUNTER. What do you know which part of Ethiopia is Ethiopia. You are selling your own country stupid damn rif raf from street.

Even in history it shows the dirty Eritreans and Somalians were the ones who helped Italian attack Ethiopia. The Brave Ethiopians from Tigrai killed the bandas in Eritrea and the Brave Ethiopians from Ogaden killed the bandas in Somalia!!! ETHIOPIA IS ONE!

DaboBela

You are an idiot! I see that you have absolutely no clue!

DEDEB!

it was not just the mussolni army from italy it was also 150,000 shameless askaris from eritrea that invaded ethiopia killing tens of thousands of ethiopians. today ethiopia is still faced with the son of askaris that are working 24 hours to destroy her.

At the battles of Adwa and Maichew, Europeans learned a hard lesson that Ethiopia is no ordinary land that they can enslave. History has and will always remember Ethiopia as the land of those who refused to surrender to slavery. From the serrated majestic mountains in the north, to the rolling hills of the south, to the thunderous belts of Afar in the east and to the evergreen tropical belt to the west, Ethiopia will always be the land of the brave who fell in the trenches of Adwa and Maichew. I would like to point out that his royal tribal highness the midget emperor Haile Sellassie left town way before May 2, 1936 touring various places including Jamaica. The statement should read that the so called “Lion of Judah” decided to settle in England in May of 1936. For those who defend this tribal maggot, so you know, I am not trying to pick on a dead man. I am simply pointing out the fact that those who tried to write our history in their name they were no where to be found when their country needed them the most. I am not shocked by it but the truth shall be told to the so called “true Ethiopians” that our history belongs to its anonymous martyrs.

the only independent black state to survive the scramble for Africa, which inflicted such a humiliating defeat on Italy at Adowa in 1896, which he is determined to avenge.

A SOLEMN DAY for REFLECTION and the meaning of STRUGGLE and the price of victory and FREEDOM.. Most of the comments are agreeable and pay tribute to the day. A few are very touching.
-------------
- The reminder about Ogadenians contribution of that time, although honors them, should have been more specific about blaming the “highlanders”. There were bandas later forgiven by Atse Haileselassie after his return from exile. Those were the treaters.
--------
-Dabo Bela,
please state your references, atleast two.
----------
Reflecting on the day and the heroes of that generation, it makes you respect, honor, love and admire Ethiopians with pride and gratitude.

The real collapse of that sense of unity, TRUST and dignity started to collapse in an attempt to impose communism through the military’s Dreg that exposed the capability of Ethiopians to be CRUEL among themselves from top to bottom and vice versa. May be, it has to do with the very ideology of communism, although it had had some pluses where it is needed. Otherwise, the spy, secrecy, intrigue, betrayal, cruelity it created in Ethiopia as well us places like China and Russia was not escapable.

This CURRENT REGIME MUST be willing to SHARE POWER and implement great national issues through PARLIAMENT.

-The most recent one disregarded a discussion and a vote through the elected parliamentarians on “land given to Sudan” among other issues.
-Discard Article 39
- Disclose the ratio of high level military officials with regard to ethnic identification.
-Dissolve the Kilil system which is systematically arranged segregated by ethnicity.

Well, the MODERN WARRIORS join political parties to gain power and thus affect the demands of Ethiopians through ELECTED OFFICIALS. Currently, there is not really a solid OPPOSITION political party. I guess one has to join and make a difference. For those of us who are shy of joining any political parties, would we remain short of being 21st century’s modern warriors?.

With a humble gratitude and respect to ETHIOPIAN MATAYRS AND PATRIOTS of 1935-1941, not only did you win over the struggle, but you were defended with the verdict on Mussolini’s end of life. May God rest you in peace and know that you have fulfilled the ultimate sacrifice for your Ethiopia and the its generations after ward.

Dear Nazret Editors,
Thank you for remembering and posting video and story.

The next picture you will see will be Fashist Meles Zenawi's body hanging upside down from the central square of ADDIS ABEBA like Mussolini. Wait and see you BANDAs and BANDA buchilas.

DaboBela

I wish I haven't read your comment. over 300, 000 Ethiopians lost their life for freedom. How in your right mind you dicredit our fathers bravery. Evern Italians themselves accepted the fact and that is why they hanged their leader upside down.

Kidist Ashagre
I know my geography very well even better
than you. I am very smart guy,i did not get 3.50 GPA for nothing from the state university ok.

I have been told the history of this war from my father who used to guard the horses of the fighters. He was very young to fight the enemy.

I have been told the history of this war from my uncle who fought the enemy and survived. According to him fascist Italy won the war because of the airplane (mustard gas.)

I have been told about this war by hundreds members of my family.

Our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters who were massacred by the Italians in the name of racial superiority were more than:

5’ 000 ‘000 innocent Ethiopians

We shall never forget nor forgive about this war. NEVER ….

ETHIOPIAS STOOD UP aganist A COLINIAL POWER


The first balck nation who deafted the same colonial power yrs ago fought hard and got its freedom.


This proud nation with with strong leaders and united citizen who sacrified their life the kept its sate hood.


THE CURRENT REALITY IS TPLF/SHABIA ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THIS PROUD HISTORY

dabo bela you are wrong.

the english, leave alone helping ethiopia, they have supported at league of nations the occupation of ethiopia by italy. actually all members of the league of nations - then they were only the all dominant Northern Leagues - in standing ovation accepted 'the rape (?) of ethiopia by italy' to 'civiize the barbaric small nation in the dark continent'. Ironically Benito as a 'humanist accused us, that we were savages who were practicing slavery in the Modern ages. So he had a god-sent duty to profess to us the human dignity and equality dictum: all men are born equal. The paraphrased above is what you read and hear from II world war audio and news materials. history books read it this way, and it is only the young soviet union and the usa states which opposed the occupation of italy, supporting Ethiopia! Because, to the colonialists it is their time of vengeance, to entangle ethiopia which wasn't touched by the scramble of africa. The mentality of the colonialists that time was so rampantly vulgar, it is strange to mix up dabo bela, to days’ west with yesterday’s. You are wrong to think, that, it is because of the English, we were spared from colonialism. Yes, it may be true, the wingate and stanford armies helped Ethiopians to stabilize their country sooner than later. But the fascists were crushed in all war fronts, it was hard to them to gain control - in tigray, in gojam, harar, to mention a few they were beaten day by day – on all war fields and almost all ethiopian men were interne/externe patriots disrupting their convoys. Fascists, had lost the war, before the English entered Ethiopia. They lost it all, during the occupation period. I have read many amharic literatures as a teenager of many patriots’ biographies. From all color of Ethiopian folks, sidama, oromo, etc,.. Takele W/Hawariat, H. Mariam Mammo, G/ mariam, Many peasants and aristocats failed for their flags.
I have read the book of Abdissa Aga, Zerai Deres, Moges Asgedom, Abraha Deboch, many northerners. There were many tigreans, shoans, oromos, sidamas, gondares who fought italians and were not caught by the lime light of the official chroniclers. But we always happen to hear when we go to every Ethiopian district: south, north, east west side. What Lekim is also saying is true. H.I.M unlike the Ethiopian kings in war times went to exile abandoning his patriots to fight it out with out an Aura, a leader. Ras Emeru substituted him but was caught by the Fascists soon and sent to italy as a prisoner. I have read Hadds Alemayehu’s histories’ account of this period. Surprisingly, after coming back from exile, Haile and his cronies hanged patriots like Belay Zeleke and many Northerners. The first woyane movement was cruelly stamped - as if it was not enough the poison planes of Italy dropping bombs earlier, but what the Brits did was to bombard the north. This is as to say, to dabo bela an ever boundless commonsensical raison d'être: Never sympathize with the aggressors but with the victim.

Attain your argument,
mt

i wish Italy took over the ethiopian.
we would never had to deal with civile war for all this time. we has ethiopian would be loving each other insted of people calling me oromo, or amera, tegery or even gourage.

Check history.

ETHIOPIA IS A LAND OF FREE AND MANY UNSETTLE ISSUES COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF IT WERE NOT FOR JEWISH/ENGLISH JEWISH CUNCILL CONSPIRACY TO MISLEAD AND FINANCE HITLER WAR MACHINE.BEGINING WITH JPMORGAN FINANCIAL INSTITUTION WHO LED THE OCTOBER REVOLTION LED BY LEON TROTSKY.ONE THING FOR SURE,MUSSOLONI DID NOT ACT ALONE ITS INTERNATIONAL BANKER LIKE ROTHSCHILD FINANCED THE WAR MACHINE.LONG LIVE ETHIOPIA BY GOD RIGHT.

Dabo Bela,

I agree with most of what you say except it is my contention we would have won with or without the British. True the Brits did look after their own interests, they would never have fought on our behalf against another colonizer and a white one at that. But our forefathers did make life hell for the Italian and sooner or later... bam, the talian would have run.

Long live the heros of then and now!

So, yebelahew dabo yeferenji new woys yehabesha?

I heard it loud and clear from a medic about the horors of Wochali. It was not a battle ground but, a hell hole of grief, fire and pain of Mustard gas used for the first time in the history of war of the world. The tears and the blood shed of innocent civilians.

"Ende gena dabo esat yendedebeh!!!" You are a cloned Mussolini himself.

Here's one for the history books. The Holot officers "The Black Lions" Who were led by Colonel Belai Haile Abe and Colonel Kifle Nasibu, joined hands with the gallant forces of the "Sme Teru Hamassine of Eritrea" and the forces of Ras Emeru, fought against the Fascist force between HOLOTS and Lekempt. Then, they were out of ammunition and faced with superior fire power, except for the Eritreans who could not surrender they made a deal with the fascists.
Eras Emeru was sent to Rome. The young officers were in Addis at the day of infamy at the black Yekatit 12th day when they were were marched out from their homes in a pre-planed and deliberate fashion and were murdered in cold blood by the coward Salado's with axes and pick-axes.
This is not to be forgoten and forgiven nor depreciated by traitors and Uncle Toms.

I have to quote my father ones on the British; "The most dangerous government in the world" having seen the Italians.

Those Ethiopian patriots who were pursued up to the Kenya boarder were not at all well come by the British because of racist reasons and were about to be repatriated, for it were not, for the Italians joining the Axis powers which resulted in one of the greatest international war fought in Africa, from Somali land in the South, to Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Uganda, South Afican forces, Africans, Whites, Arabs, to the most part Pakistan's and Indian's who are not credited by the way for there is no a British Force without the two Asian countries. Morocco, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt every land was burning.
The Italians could not even take Greece without the German support to their great shame. They only fought as men at Keren a natural fortress made to good use and stood by standing against the British war machine. They earned respectability for the first time in their modern history, they tested their man hood.

If traitors ever creep into this place, I'm getting out.

DaboBela
You are brainwashed that the earth is round. You are brainwashed that Ethiopia is in Africa. You are brainwashed you as a black man are equal to any body else. You are brainwashed that freedom is better than slavery. You are brainwashed that drinking water is bad for your health. What else is left you are not brainwashed?
If you believe only outsiders to teach you history, please read some books such as the scramble for Africa where the 3c strategy was used to robe Africa. See who were the players. Britain Italy France Germany Belgium and Portuguese were never friend for any African country but played games for 100 of years either threatening directly or supporting others. Others have told you how Britain France and others including the US gave green light to invade Ethiopia. Fascist Italy used weapons of mass destruction on Ethiopia directly spraying chemical weapons on Ethiopians on villages, red cross tents civilians all life domestic and wild. No asshole was against the use of those WMD at that time like they are today.
Our ancestors payed the maximum price any human being can pay to resist the occupation of Ethiopia. Direct battles lead by Ras Desta Damtew have destroyed the capability of the invaders. All others were involved in ambush gorilla warfare. HaileSellasie used the power of diplomacy abroad. Thank God Almighty Ethiopia got Hitler that broke the back bone of those so called super powers and colonizers except Italy. It was after they have been beaten by Hitler the British allign with Ethiopia since Italy was with Germany. This was unwanted marriage because they have to weaken the colony Italy claims in Africa while fighting it in Europe. Thanks to Haile Selasie even after the defeat of Italy Britain offered protectorate status for Ethiopia which is indirect colony but he said No thanks but no thanks. They pushed hard he never gave up in fact he played game with other Europeans and survived protectorate.
Even after Haile Sellase came back to Addis many were still in field with gorilla warfare and not distinguishing some Brits from Italy many Brits were killed in ambush because our patriots never knew which white is Italy and which one is Brit. Some never care to know.
The king had difficult time to settle this mess for some time even after war was over.

Few Ethiopians were farting around with the occupiers probably you are born from them or some one from that group have told you a wrong version of the history of Ethiopia.

Lekim ,M.T "The beast shall make war with the lamb but the lamb shall overcome for he is King of Kings Lord of Lords." There is a time and purpose for everything under Jah mighty heavens. Haile Selassie fought on the battle field and on May 5th 1936 caught a train from Addis Ababa to Djibouti to go to Geneva to make an appeal to the league of nations which had the responsibility of its covenant to crush the agression of italy. Because the league failed to act H.I.M spoke "God and history will remember your judgement.""It is us today it will be you tomorrow."inevitably the lion of Judah hath prevailed Europe went into chaos and destruction nazi and fascists rampaged a war in Europe. Hail Selassie taught his warriors never to surrender their flag to the fascists,and "be prepared to die for freedom than to die without freedom."Who can deny what that did for the still colonized people of Africa. Because the league tore up the covenant of its existence Haile Selassie came into Great Britain to form an alliance and friendship with the British. H.I.M knew of the invincible might of the British army and of its ability to produce modern weaponry which in due time would be used to dispel the fascists out of Ethiopia with incomparible speed. H.I.M also knew of the colonial legacy Britain had in Africa,the Carribean,Asia,The middle East and the Pacific, and that it would take time to to change the colonial ideology of divide and rule. During his exile in Britain his spirit was with his Warriors in Ethiopia who faught with raw courage and bravery, which although helped gained the victory it was not enough to dispel the fascists until the promised arms of modern warfare had arrived. Five years to the day he left Addis Ababa Haile Selassie returned to his capital on May 5 1941 where his rightful kingdom was restored. The mass sacrifice of human life in WWII had redeemed Great Britain and Europe of its colonial past. In 1945 in San Francisco Haile Selassie gathered together other heads of state to form the United Nations so the world would not again go through another world war for were it to come none would emerge from the deadly rain of nuclear fallout. The United Nations has stood the test of time but it is weak because its members are weak"If we are to survive this organization must survive, to survive it must be strengthened the means to the enforcement of its decisions must be fortified if they do not exist they must be devised, equality of representation must be assured in each of its organs. The possibilities which exist in the United Nations to provide the medium whereby the hungry may be fed ,naked clothed and ignorant instructed must be seized on and exploited for the flower of peace is not sustained by poverty and want. To acheive this requires courage and confidence, the courage I beleive we possess, the confidence must be created and to create confidence we must act couragously."Christus Jesus Amanuel Haile Selassie for thy kingdom shall be restored in Ethiopia as it is in heaven. Long live independent Ethiopia!

My DAD is from Italy and He came to ethiopia to construct a bridge during war time.My dad fall in love with ethiopia and ethiopians and deserted the italian army and married my mom and worked all his life repairing and construction work.I rememeber he use to tell me how he loves ethiopia and helped so much the then King Hailesilasie in so many nobel works to put foundations to the grass root ethiopians in modernising our country.I remind all ethiopians never to generalise all italians as Fascists during that period.I am ethiopian through and through and my dad was an adopted son of ethiopia who he took to his heart to his final hour.When ever I read his diaries and when my mom talks about his love and passion for his country ethiopia...it just make me shiver.PLEASE DONT GENERALISE....AS IF ALL ITALIANS WERE FASCISTS DURING THAT PERIOD.thank you

The second time the British came to Ethiopia was in 1941. This time too, they never came with the intention of colonizing Ethiopia. If they had any intention to do so, everything was in their power and in their hand. They could have done it militarily. "why did the British come in the first place and liberated Ethiopia when every beefy Ethiopian Ras was compromised with Italian lira (Italian currency) and Haile Sellassie was happily settled at the town of Bath in England doing nothing except contacting Mussolini via the Vatican and demanding adequate compensation of Lira and proper title in return for his offer of Ethiopia becoming a protectorate which actually Mussolini offered him one million pound sterling for his abdication?" Professor John Spencer wrote in his memoir that Haile Sellassie attempted three times to negotiate with Mussolini via the Vatican. The main reason the negotiation for abdication didn't succeed was because the British government didn't want to see Mussolini achieve legal occupation of Ethiopia. (See "Ethiopia At Bay," page 84)

There is also another important point I need to make it clear. In spite of all the courage and tenacity that Haile Sellassie promoters advanced so many times. The truth is, he too never cared as far as Eritrea goes. He didn't even care about his people much less about Eritrea. Throughout his carrier, he only cared about how to continue to hold on to power. Once he was butted out from power by Mussolini's forces, and before he left for England, he too was ready to hand over the Northern half of Ethiopia to Italy just as Menelik did about Eritrea. Here is how it went as Jasper Ridley points it out in Mussolini's Biography. "In his desperate act to hold power, Haile Sellassie now made a secret peace overture to Mussolini, sending a former Ethiopian Minister in Rome to contact the Italian consul in Djibouti. HE OFFERED TO SELL A LARGE PART OF EHTIOPIA TO ITALY FOR ONE AND HALF MILLIARD LIRA AND TO APPOINT SIX ITALIAN ADVISORS TO DIRECT THE POLICY OF HIS GOVERNMENT. MUSSOLINI SENT A COURTEOUS REPLY TO THE INTERMIEDIARY, EXPRESSING HIS PLEASURE THAT THE NEGUS HAD AT LAST DECIDED TO NEGOTAIT DIRECTLY WITH HIM; but he said the offer was UNACCEPTABLE."
(Emphasis mine, see J. Ridley, page 270)

This makes it clear the duplicity of Abyssinian warlords and exposes for every body to see all this empty talk of "Ethiopia's superior stand of anti-colonialism."

More to the point, the moment Ethiopia was occupied by the forces of Mussolini, the love of beneficial lira became very widespread among the so-called patriot Nobles. The table below shows who received salaries from the Italian Colonial Government.

Name Monthly Salary in Lira
Ras Imru 1,000
Ras Hailu 40,874
Ras Seyum 22,900
Ras Gugsa 25,000
Ras Getachow 7,000
Dejach Taye 1,000
Dejach Ayalow Burru 16,000
Sultan of Aussa Mohammed Jaja 15,000
Sultan Abdullah Abba Jifar 8,000
Sultan Abba Jobir Abdullah 8,000
Dejach Hossanna Jiotte 15,000
Dejach Yohannes Jiotte 15,000
Sheik El Hogwli 25,000



(See Alberto Sbacchi, "Ethiopia Under Mussolini," page 137) similar tables of payments to all kind of Ethiopian Nobles can also be found in the same book, pages 153 and 154.
So much for Ethiopian heroism!

As Haile Sellassie's luck of liberating Ethiopia has it, the casus-beli that became for the British to liberate the Italian colonies in East Africa was to be Mussolini's declaration of war against France and Britain on June 5, 1940. Without this impetus, it was highly unlikely that the British would have come to the aid of Ethiopia. This declaration of War by Mussolini neatly fit the prayer of Haile Sellassie, which, as Anthony Mockler pointed out,
"Britain's war with Italy was Haile Sellassie's opportunity, indeed his only hope of ever recovering his throne."
(See "Haile Sellassie's War," page 212.)

Once Italy declared war over Britain, the British war planners decided to attack the fascist forces and kick them out from the entire Italian colonies of East Africa including Ethiopia with the aim to stop any further lose of British interest in the Middle East, Africa, and the Indian Ocean. They also correctly guessed that the liberation of Italian colonies in East Africa would make all war production material of the Italian colonies available to support British forces in the Middle East and North Africa.

Since all mainland British forces were busy fighting Hitler in North Africa and elsewhere in Europe, the liberation of the Italian colonies were left to the British colonial forces; South Africans, Australians, Nigerians and Indians. For example, the biggest battle between British forces and the Italians that took four months to complete was done at the town of Keren, Western Eritrea, and mainly by Indian Forces and the Gurkehas out of Nepal. After the fall of Keren, the Italian forces didn't put up much fighting in the rest of Eritrea and Ethiopia. In fact the British forces of General Cunningham that started from Kenya didn't see a hard fight thus General Cunningham entry to Addis Ababa can almost be called a walk over.

"In under two months General Cunningham four Brigades had captured Mogadishu, Harrar and Addis Ababa, three of the six capitals of the six governorates of Italians East Africa. They had defeated, dispersed, or captured without any aid from the Ethiopian rebels, forces many times their size and strength-for a total loss of 135 officers and men killed, 310 wounded, and 52 missing."
(See A. Mockler, page 370-371)


As you stupid Ethiopian boasted that Ethiopia liberated Eritrea. In other words, the talk of "we gave them the chance to walk in the streets of Asmara." The recorded history speaks for itself the fact that the British colonial forces liberated Eritrea as the battle for the control of the hills of Keren amply testifies and which thereby Eritrea ended up being another colony of the British flag for over 11 years until it was forcefully federated with Ethiopia through the diplomatic machination of the United States. All that talk of Ethiopians about the Eritrean liberation by Ethiopia was merely doing thier usual daydreaming.

After Eritrea and Ethiopia were liberated from Fascist Italy, there was diplomatic haggling between the British and the Americans about who will control Ethiopian commercial interest, oil exploration in the Ogaden, and the nascent Communication Station the Italians left behind in Eritrea which the Americans found it to be valuable. The United States won the fight over who will have more influence over Ethiopia and who will have more indirect control of Eritrea.

Furthermore, as the 1940s was ending, the Cold War became more vivid as demonstrated by the Berlin blockade and the Maoist ascendancy to power in china. To contain the advance of communism everywhere, American reaction was forceful and as a result, the interest to acquire Military base also became not only necessary but also a must in all the areas where it is frequented by Soviet forces. Based on the 'purity of radio frequency technical results' as experienced by Anglo American Force fighting Hitler and Mussolini forces in both the North and East Africa war theaters, Asmara and its environs was discovered to be the preferred place of American communication experts who would like to spy on those ships of the Soviet Union that were passing via the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.

This desire to build communication base for their Armed Forces made Americans to become thoroughly obliging helpers of Ethiopia to acquire Eritrea through their influence in the United Nation. And to speak truthfully, without American help, Haile Sellassie would have never got a chance to set his nasty foot in the airport of Asmara even for one minute. Wondimu's daydreaming aside, America forcefully and uncompromisingly brought the UNHAPPY marriage of Ethiopia and Eritrea. This intense American involvement can be seen in the following four paragraphs that came out from the FOUR top branches of American Government.

TO BE CONTINUE

There far away guarded
A country of majestic mountains
13 Months of sunshine and WONDERFUL SEASONS
The holy land noted in the bible as is ancient
Where the covenant of the ARC is kept
In all its mystery and secret

There far away guarded
The land ploughed and harvested by its energetic FARMERS
Blessed and loved with prayers
By its people of CHRISTIANS AND MOSLEMS
VARIATION of complexion as the beauty of nature’s FLOWERS
All gifted with original multi ethnic LANGUAGES

There far away guarded
The desire of outsiders good and bad
The world’s powerful dictators and FACISTS
Her land refused to contain the enemies
Generations of brave and wise leaders she produced
Her MATAYERS AND PATRIOTS broke their bones and shed their blood
Unaffected by any human and machine power
Their spirit, wisdom, unity and love made them the conqueror
In the end the sacrifice was a VICTORY

Far and near in the modern era guarded and yet open
The land of the brave symbol of freedom
Union of AFRICA and man’s first HOME
May the unsaid promise of her children
For UNITY AND LIBERTY live forever
Rise again as One Ethiopia, many languages a unified Nation
Dear Ethiopia, your hands continue TO RAISE UNTO GOD IN THE MILLINUM

TPLF thugs ,you forget one main thing ;those who were with the Italian Facist Forces fighting against the Ethiopian peoples are your own parents and grand parents who willingly with your eritrean brothers served the enemy as BANDA .Don't forget Dejazmatch Haile Selassie Gugsa the tigrai nobolity who served Badolio.Of course heroes like Abreha Debotch ,Mogess Asgedom and Zerai Deress deserved our respects . The heroes whom your leba master betrayed by serving the evil Issayas . LONG LIVE THE TRUE ETHIOPIANS !!!

The day northern bandas help the savage italians to fight the almighty Ethiopians.

What ever happened to the "TRUE Ethiopian illiterates, who want to be flight instructors when they are flightless, Turkeys. pseudo-Professors, Dr.... What a shame, you silently take Ethiopian history lectures from visitors from the north. Have mercy up on you!!

What are you talking about...British saviors, nonsense?

"I did not do it for you Negere" is the frustrated cry of a racist soldier on his way from the hell in KEREN to Asmara.
The British soldier after the war of attrition of Keren the first time an Italian army stood to any one in a fight with out mustard gas, thanks to geography than to training and skill and heroism of the heart and mind.

General Cunningham with the South African army made up of Blacks, Whites and Asians, bolstered by the Pakistanis and Indian ranks in east Africa came cleaning house from the south Kenya-Uganda, and south east. The British did even asked the help of the disabled emperor, as a propaganda tool and brought him to the Sudan, brought the Seme Teru Hamassiene army from Kenya, as his personal protection, and under General Cunningham, through Gojjam to Addis. The British did not want to get bogged down in East Africa, to protect the vital Suez canal, and the oil gulf from falling to the hands of Nazis so they used what ever small the contribution they used every disability to their advantage.

You know what I hate about this place is the heaters, anti-Ethiopia bandas and envious as well as intellectual midgets.
"BANDA ma-tat!!"

Andrew Shiloh Sellassie, My friend you belong to a dying generation whose trade mark is mixing religion and politics to justify their existence and or the existence of a corrupt tribal system that looked after their interest. Hail Sellassie, like those before him, was nothing but a carnivorous leech that stood for nothing but his power and belly. He was not able to understand the simple principles of courage and dignity let alone teaching others to standup for their country. He left town way before the Italians and their sherpa boys overwhelmed Ethiopian heroes at Mychew. After the war, he and his British allies used the British air force base in Yemen to murder thousands of peasant protestors in Tigray, the very people who died by the thousands defending their homes and country. My friend your “king of kings” and the messenger of your “god” stood for nothing but for a murderous tribal system. A man who abandoned a country at war in a broad daylight can’t win the war by being there “in spirit. You are right, you and your kind have always been there in sprit in times of war but you have been first in line to looting in time of peace and property. Most of us can smell you from miles away my friend. We know you more than you think we do. Hail Sellassie and his kind never had and will never have a “rightful kingdom” in Ethiopia or any where in this universe except in the figment of your imagination. Memories may fade and some of you may fabricate our history but never shall we forget what you stood and stand for. Cheers pal.

eritrean bullet( visitor)

you read too much in to the likes of the half Italian M-Wrong and the Australian back packer Dan connel who is in the habit of writing bias garbage about Ethiopia for their own personal gain. by the way, they are all recently changing their tune after realizing there isn't much money to be made from poor eritreans.

Dear nazret I understand you can't take it sometimes but this is very important...

Think about it why did we call our down town main road "Churchill ROAD" IF CHURCHILL DIDN'T HELP US

I forget the name of the school title but we name the school aftet the gernaral who help us win the war with italy. "gernaral Wangeta """ if i am correct with the spilling...

The point is the UK hlep us full stop! cuba help us full stop... Russa help us full stop in act we did not win any war that did not get help from outside or inside...

even EPLF WIN OVER US FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS BUT WHEN WE GET HELP from TPLF WE WIN IN JUST SIX DAY... Do you remmber the war beteen Ertitrea and Ethiopia in 2000? who win we could not win it fot the last 40 years by ouwrself but when we get help from TPLF we win... even the Somilia we can't win over them we tried and filed two times in 1960 the Eritrean Genaral help us in 1970 the cuba and russa help us otherwise we would have be over run by Somilians... anyhow we win the war wilth only 6 day in Somilia during Meles time... therefore I have one thing to say the Ethioipian never win the war without the help of other just as Meles from inside or other Western power

ERITREAN _BULLET

You are referencing material that was written by Europeans for Europeans!

That says a lot about judgment! in other words you don't have a free mind to make a clear judgment thus everything you said is toilette material.

have you also read this from the you are referencing or did it skip you useless brain?

"Yet the third of a million Italian troops deployed failed to hold down the people. Economically backward itself, Italy could afford neither to staff its colonial administration nor to develop Ethiopia’s economy; and its officials were divided, corrupt, demoralized and incompetent.

Haile Selassie went to exit leaving the task of continued armed resistance to the Ethiopian Patriots who launched their own rebellion as soon as the Italian Empire was proclaimed." ENOUGH SAID!!!!

Wadani,

What you said was very true, those Somalis in Ogaden who defended their country against the invasion have not been recognized properly, save a few like Dej Umarr Samatar. By the way my own grand father died with many of his relatives in Ogaden during the initial invasion. My dad told me not even one returned, and they had to wait for five more years and independence to go there and visit where they fell.

Lekim,

I am not crazy about Haile Selassie, but I think you were wrong on this one. After the battle of Maychew he returned to Addis and all the leaders of the regions including those from Tigray, Ras Seyoum, Gebresellasie Barya Gaber etc, voted if he should go into exile, or he should stay and mount any rebellion. Some fiercly opposed it, to the point they were shouting at each other, example Keg Tekle Hawaryat. But in the end they voted and the majority voted he should go into exile. Trust me my friend that was what happened. We all know his short comings, I myself criticize him in here a lot, but it should be done for the right reasons. I have also met many of the patriots who stayed and fought, who were my family. They eventhough greatly angered how he ran the war, or his autocratic, I have to know everything ways, do acknowledge his exile in the long run did help us regain our independence. Because the patriots were almost bombed out of existence, only GOD knows how much mustard gas was let loose on Bulga district alone, that he bringing the British gave them a renewed hope to rally and mount a better resistance. That I heard from those who were there.

Correction under General Win gate from Sudan to Addis... Cunningham of south Africa, Kenya-Somalia-Uganda-Seme Teru-Hamassene-Sudan, the vanguards were Indians and Pakistanis professional soldiers the work horses of the British Ground Force in one of the most international military war waged in the African Continent... Arabs from the north, General Dewitt Eisenhour of the US and Rommel the desert fox of Germany.......................
Belay Zeleke is the peoples General, but, Haile Selassie was ashamed of himself, unwarrantedly, to stand real patriots and promoted Woizero little ras Hailu wet pant traitor as Gojjame doro eras Ye-BELAYE;ba Belaye. Belay is raised up on a tree by the wet pants. The first Woyane revolution was frustrated with the bombs of the British Air Force falling over civilians in markets for maximum effect of terror and to save time at the expense of innocent lives.
I don't see any thing good that the British did in Africa.
They curved Africa with a master plan when they left, with Guinea, Guinea, Bissau, Conakry, Guinea Equatorial, Guinea pig made out of Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Niger, Gambia, Rhodes and Rhodesians, Congo, Congo and Congo, Egyptian Sudan, Sudan, African Sudan, Somali, Somali this Somali that Somali, Burkinofaso.MaliMaliMali.

No body in Ethiopia new then the existence of other African countries when we wake up from our sleeps they have birthed 50 some odd, little Ethiopians. Five years before we did not know what the hell is a British for that matter Italia. Forget, Eritrea, Somalia, Kenya, Sudan, France, Russia...

We knew Maria Theresa of Austria, it is because of the tegerabere, that saved us from barter. And from buying a slave with Amole Chew.

Aparthied is established in South Africa, Rhodesia, a bastard of it in Kenya and Uganda saved by Idi Amin to the displeasure of the Ugandan intelectuals.

Yegna tarik awaqi Dengayi Rasu dabo bela hodamu,
English were fighting they own war, not helping Ethiopia. If they were helped five years earlier I agreed with your stupied idea, but it was not. They were protecting their own interest in Kenya and Some more African countries. If they wanted to kick out Italyan out of Ethiopia why they did not consider to colonize it then? Our grand fathers will knock them out.( sorry when i said grand fathers not yours, your grand fathers were banda). Yegna history awaqi minew beqerebihi kemitawiqew. Ethiopia was, I think, not sure the only indeoendent country even at that time.
are you Ertirean? they are arch enemy of Ethiopia all the time. I hope you are not Eritrean hodamu? Any way, a country to colonize Ethiopia at least country or countries have to kill over 90% of Ethiopia. I am proud of our grand fathers, my two grand fathers died at that time. I proud of them, My fatther mother in Michew, My father father Kessem. tadia yemaneim wisha enena bizu Ethiopiawian wegenochachin lay yichemaleqal. chemilaka hodam.

God Bless Ethiopia, and all who loves Ethiopia and Ethiopiawian.

Show me the evidence of the war against Italian in the 1940's. All the battle gound was inside Eritrea where british defeted Italian. Italian had more than 200 war planes in Eritrea and british came and distroyed them. British kick out Italians.
Your kind run all the way to europe.
All Ethiopians are born liers.
YHE YABA GEBREHANA TERET IBAKACHU IZIH MET'TACHU ATAWRU.

I have never visit the shabian site neither think about them but why are they always concerned too much by visiting Nazret.com and write some trash message to the Ethiopian. When will you stop thinking the powerfull Ethiopia. We want regain Assab not Hamassenian{banda slave)

I hate Shabia

Falks Eritreans have their own history about this war. They do not have anything to say because 99% of them were banda. Upto this days they are the enemy of Ethiopia who fought against Ethiopian interest all over the world. I remember when I go to City College of New York in the 80's each page and chapters were discarded by these Eritrean fellows. I am sorry for some who loves Ethiopia otherwise the majority of them do not like Ethiopia. Ethiopian do not promote their agenda. I do not think Eritreans want to see the Ethiopia in the world map. For them succesful Ethiopia is who does not care for his country.
They are bold liers, in polotics, and everything regarding Ethiopia. Once I remeber, a few years ago I met one Eritrean where I work in our conversiation, I told her about the internet in Ethiopia. She did not believe me at all that there is internet in Ethiopia. She even told me there is no Electriceity there. You see how much she brain washed and she believe them the one who brain washed her.
Please wake up Ethiopian let us stop dividing one another, and stand together, let us also stop spreading the enemies propaganda.
Haile Silassie can not make a deal with Musolini because if he did that Allied forces, British and American forces wont help him. Such kind of propaganda came out from Eritrean not from any where else. Figure it out falks, how could be? It is impossible. (By the way I have met American who were in Ethiopia to kicked out Italian) God Bless them.

The fate of dictator meles and his agazi gangs will be the same as Mussolin,their bodies hanging upside down from trees.

Lekami ,I wonder why all you guys always denie historical facts .Your parents and grand parents have been Italian Facist Bandas .You accuse haile Selassie for abandoning the country ,why don't you talk about your own nobility ,HAILE SELASSIE GUGSA ,the great Tigrai BANDA and his followers .The great mistake of Haile ,was for being mercyfull for all these Italian Bandas ,by according them an amnesty and even Farms in Chachemene and Awassa .These same lebas ,finished by betraying him .As said our dear elders :"..YELEBA AYENEDEREK MELESSO LIB YADERK..". LONG LIVE THE TRUE ETHIOPIANS !!!!

Resisted defeat and rose with courage and dignity

Brooks, the sell out KiTregna:

Your opportunistic rationalization in projecting irrelevant and outdated dreams is nothing but sign of desperation.

You sell out agent, you've failed on representing facts that occured between Eritreans and Ethiopians, especially the unprovoked agression in divide and rule campaign, against Eritreans from the south, from Menelik to Haileselassie to the recent regimes, along their state machinery.

Picking up psychology words to pretend that you knew history gets you nowhere, except emptiness.

Loser, the World, including the so called UN, who previously denied our identity, witnessed that 99.8% of Eritreans wanted independence, in 1991. What else you need, fool?


Yemiyen labaye:

Why would I be considered jingoist and narcissist because I preferred to be independent of Ethiopia, the very country that destroyed our livelihood?

Your selection of these terms is nothing but opportunistic rationalism, to introject Americans' spread eagleism and super patriotism of the 1890s which undermined other nations, onto Ethiopia's use.

If "Amiches" who know the in and out of Ethiopia and "Beles" who equally defended their nation against Western supported invasion and continued destruction of Eritrea, you can deduce what the residents and the very nationals of Eritrea, at home, can feel and do about Erirea, against the ongoing destruction by Ethiopia and its masters.

Forget about Ethiopia's fake ultra nationalism at the expense of Horn of Africa for the last century, even now, in its last two decades history, no one wants to be part of it for several reasons:

-Its citizens' ongoing mercinary and warmongering behavior
-Its randition crimes and the previous African gov't's destabilizing spring board reasons
-Its ongoing man made famine reasons
-Its religious and ethnic intolerance
-Its dependency way of life
-Its betrayal of Africanism, etc...

Fool:
narcissism and jingoism applies to Ethiopians and their sell out agents, such as you idiot, who wanted to thrive at the expense of other nations in Horn of Africa. We have no reason to be part of Ethiopia, when their behavior uncontrolably is destroying our own destiny and existance, in the 21st Century of human development. This doesn't mean however, that we hate Ethiopia, unlike you miserably tried to portray, dedeb!

anten bilo mihur, defeatist banda!

Lekim "a dying generation?" Well death is swallowed up in victory and Haile Selassie Christus Jesus has given Iand I the victory for many are called but few are chosen. Not only are your historical facts wrong but they follow mans selfish and egoistic motives. History records the first visit to Jamaica to be 30 years after your proclamation. Although yes H.I.M was there in spirit from the beginning. For it is the new generation, the virgins of Israel that will rise with the Queen of the South to glorify Haile Selassie as Christus Jesus in his kingly character. and Ethiopia again will lead Africa in this new age of global uncertainty. I can do nothing but what is of the father for I and I father is one and glory to the king of creation. "The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, that is because man makes himself and his wisdom the beginning and end of his aims in life, I am convinced that the end of this is death and destruction." the power of the trinity Christus Jesus Amanuel Haile Selassie

I searched a word in Tigrigna,Amharic,Oromigna,Somalingna,Frenche,English & Aderigna,Only Arabic Word "Kelam Fa'riq" is suitable to explaine your comment.Again I warn you never put Lipstick on that honest Camel to scare those honest Eritrean Chillderen.

For all that have access to a library with microfilm capabilities, please go and study the newspaper coverage of the invasion and war. It is most informative and is full of revelations. First, it is amazing of the place that "black" and African people had in newspapers. There was hardly any mention of Africans or African-Americans, unless it was negative. The coronation of Emperor Haile Selassie and the coverage of the war broke this trend. Secondly, if one follows the coverage closely, it will be clear that Ethiopia was winning the war until the Fascists started to use uncivilized methods of warfare. It is also disheartening to find that most of the dead on the Fascist side were Africans/Askaris.However, Haile Selassie I did give credit and praise to the Eritreans that fought for Ethiopia. The most important thing to remember is that the Italian-Ethiopian war was not an isolated event. It is infact one of the most important events of the modern age. As Emperor Haile Selassie noted, most African states gained their independence after World War II. Just like children of famous and prominent fathers or mothers who are forced to share their parent with others, it is hard to put aside selfish needs and desires, some Ethiopians have not forgave the Emperor for putting the Salvation of the World before personal and/or national interests. Believe me when I tell you that Emperor Haile Selassie I rescued Blacks in America and throughout the diaspora from the debts of misery and dehumanization. My father lights up with pride when he tells me about how the Emperor smitted the nations in 1936 and in 1938. The Italian-Ethiopian War also mobilized the African diaspora more than any other event in history. The Italian-Ethiopian War brought to the forefront of world affairs and international relations many of the most important issues of that time that determined war & peace. The Emperor stated this to the League of Nations in June 1936 that he was the "defender of the cause of all small states exposed to the greed of a powerful neighbor."
He also said, " None other than myself and my brave companions in arms could bring the League of Nations the undeniable proof. The appeals of my delegates addressed to the League of Nations had remained without any answer; my delegates had not been witnesses. That is why I decided to come myself to bear witness agianst the crime perpetrated against my people and give Europe a warning of the doom that awaits it, if it should bow before the accomplished fact.

Let us forgive those that use lies and distortions to hide their own guilt.
