Let the soul of our black king Menilik.always live in the heaven.................He was such a Brave and a true patriot for his country......LONG LIVE FOR OUR COUNTRY
Atse Menelik was a genius, he successfully defended his kingdom against European colonialism, expanded and modernized his kingdom, died an old man in his bed by natural causes. Simply a genius.
8:22 Nope he is lying. He’s trying make it look like Africans fought Africans. It’s Italians Vs Ethiopians. Don’t sugar coat it to fit in the vary narrative that you’re saying was wrong
what I got from his 10 minute interview: the reason Eritreans are so hostile towards Minilik and sometimes Ethiopia and the reason tegaru started to hate Ethiopia. Minilik did not give Eritrea to Italy as a reward. If he did and Italy accepted the gift, why the battil of Adwa then? wake up Ethiopians and be united again
Now THAT would be indeed awesome !!! Etiopia not just won against Italy , they wiped out he invading Egyptians (1875) who were backed and armed by colonial powers ! You can go back to the Crusades and see Ethiopian Crusader Knights fighting for the Cross. Etiope has an amazing history of their absolute own , and that is rare !
Well. Ethiopians have a greater IQ than the rest of africa (especially sub saharan africa) and don't forget that Christianity helped ethiopians develop a higher sense of self or in other words, reason and LOGOS.
@@sr.cosmos4543 what are you smoking man lol the whole spirit of adwa was to disprove superiority of races ,and you are here in the comment section talking about sueriority of ethiopians !! LOL
by the second invention (1928 E.C) my grand papa fought the war against the invaders under afework of Ogden. i don't remember ether the commander was fitawerari,kegnazemach or grazemach what ever, i am proud my grand papa fought that war!
Hector Beauregard the earliest homo sapien fossils thus far located were found in Jebel Irhoud in Morocco and Gademotta, which is actually in Ethiopia. So....yes.
Menelik organized and mobilized Ethiopians to beat the Italians successfully and we are very proud of him. It is also worth mentioning long before Adwa, Bahata Hagos and his brother Sengal Hagos raised arms against the Italians in Eritrea but due to lack of weapons and support they did not succeed.
ABOUT KING Yohans menilik never have conflict with him Italy never provides gun for menilik about Eritrea u layer . Menilik was unthinkable he is the greater man of the black people
Page 211+1 Only the Ethiopians under Emperor Menelik II (r. 1889-1911) were successful in resisting European conquest, annihilating an Italian force at the Battle of Adwa (Aduwa) in 1896.
People ask how we won without checking our backgrounds.we are the descendants of memnon as homer wrote equally warrior as Achilles.so winning is in our blood.we are a natural soldiers.
Why did he stated as the "first time" Black army victory over White 🤦🙆😡 That's our one of Hundreds battle since the beginning of time. Ethiopian never lost a war and never been colonized ever!!!!
This profesor is a legend the victory of Ethiopians on the battle Adwa for most whites became tuhh ey coudn't belive the reality. But the truth never change Always Good things always win all evils
While I was young, I was the good reader because of that my friends gave me a name of book worm. To be honest I did not read your book I am not a reader any more, but I listened the interview, I have many memories of what my father told me about the war in my mind. When he remembers that war in general, he did not like it because of many reasons. However, he told me the horrible part of the battle field but losing a home land is more than the trouble of the battle field, that is why our fathers were supposed to fight for our home land with Italy. He narrated the entire life of military life with the deepest language of expressions. However, He was civilian.... Everything what he told me happened in the world. I understand my father's word later in my life. During Adwa most people had the true "Faith, Hope and Love" and the most important leader was Empire Menelik. He was the great leader of that war. Today, the new generations need to learn and understand why our fathers fought with Italy? Today, the ridicules thing is, many politicians are fighting for power by killing good people and innocent civilians. In order to get that one chair, they are misleading the youth. and they are playing a game on the blood of poor young generation. That must be stopped.
This professor wrote this book for his own benefit. Ethiopia never gifted Eritrea to Italy pure lie.i doubt he even went to adwa to see the real story is.he just sat in his office read few books and organized his own version.
But the Italians were defeated not only in Adwa even though Adwa was the biggest battle, other than Adwa, there are the battles of Gundet, Gura, Dogali, etc...
@@sha-t9f4p 🤣🤣you can’t change the story on your favour take it as it’s hard to swallow but true menelik did give away Eritrea and every Eritrean knows that
why no one mention the role haitians played in that war, cause not only about 5,ooo haitians went to Ethiopia and fought in that war, but it was haiti who funded the Ethiopians.also no one mention the role haiti played in greece independence against the Turk's in 1820, so when greece call upon haiti for help haiti helped greece financially and with haitian soldiers, can anybody handle the truth.
The reason of the war is yohannes helped Britain a passage to British soldiers circled by mahadists so they could pass through Ethiopia. That annoyed king of mahadists wage war against Ethiopia.
Actually, the war was fought by the Ethiopian people. Minilik was more of a symbol than a true leader. He was forced to fight by the pressure from within. If he were a real hero, he wouldn't have sold parts of Ethiopia to Italy and France.
this not true melelic was very evil man ..he join the battle after the was completed....Alula was the one who commanded ...whele the war was happening he was in church which was 80 kilemer away
It was north Ethiopia vs Italy other were never in war they never become part of Ethiopia?its only after battle of adaw of menelik expansion stopping the expansion of west empire.. The victory should go to Tigray & amhara region with few Gurge.
@@menasir2817 : You have a point, the connotation here sounds watering down the gallant role that the Afaan Oromo speaking Ethiopian Cavalry played in the battle of Adwa. Why does this upset you and make you denounce your Ethiopian citizenship, any way. Fuck Ethiopia? that is blasphemy for me, whose mother tongue is Afaan Oromo. Because it is the blood of my ancestors that has been spilled in all Ethiopian frontiers that kept the physical geography of Ethiopia in its current shape. Brother Menasir, do not give up on your identity because of some bodies opinion. The Oromos are the pillar of Ethiopia. We built the nation in love and sacrifice.We have never been greedy, we are always ready to share what we have with other Ethiopian brothers and sisters. The land is enough for every body, there is enough resource. What we need are: brains that can create values, peace and stability, abled leadership, unity, a democratic republic governed by rule of law and respect for human dignity. Cursing one another and un necessary competition in ethnic lines instead of teaming up will only bring calamity and put us in vicious circle of rise and fall. How many times shol
You know what the sad thing is, our great grand fathers sacrifice them self so that you become your self today they would be disappointed if they see you today
