  • To all shameless ethnicists who bad mouth against the Great Menelik.

    This is the truth about the victor of Adowa.

    A dispassionate non-Amhara scholar is telling it as it is.

  • @zerubabel123 thank you,u said it best.

  • ...By the way,Fascists did not exist at the time of Menelik.They were,for your good information, the phenomenon of the 2nd WW. They did us a lot of harm because we were where we were forty years ago while they were technologically developed to be able to avenge their ancestors shame by gassing and bombing us to smithereens.

    Thank you for your response.Let us keep on conversing.Let us keep the dialogue using courteous language devoid of vulgar slang!

  • ....Menelik moreover was a progressive sovereign with broad vision, large heart, broad shoulders and one who literally stood tall.

    On the other hand, one must never compare Adwa with the fratricidal war of Badme.

    The war in or for Badme was a shameful and tragic war where the priceless lives of more than 70,000 of our folks were decimated simply because the two tyrants in Asmara and Addis Ababa willed it....

  • Dear Bofta1

    Who said it was? I didn't.

    I did not even say Menelik was an Amhara.On the contrary, I maintain and argue that Menelik’s irreducible identity was PAN-ETHIOPIAN and it was precisely BECAUSE of that he was able to UNIFY and lead his people to the victory of Adwa.

    Had he really been perceived as an Amhara colonizer, as mainly the TPLF and OLF ethnicists now maliciously label him, people of all back grounds would not have then rallied behind him....

  • @zerubabel123 This is the work of All Ethiopians & not only Amhara if that is what you R trying to assert because MinelikII is Amhara. STOP this crap, Yes Menilik II was a great leader for organizing All Ethiopians to defeat a Fascists! There is no way you can weight the contribution of each ethnic group as was the case in our recent history in Badme. So Adwa is the history of Ethiopians & has become the history of black people! The Prof is right; Ethiopia has destroyed White Supremacist!

  • Thank you so much Prof Lapiso Geledo!

  • great professor.

    I wonder you for raising my confidence of being ethiopia.
