They are not fully kicked out or shall we say they came back? What was british embassy doing in chigray today or yesterday? Bandits! They still see you as their colony ever since they enslaved you when you showed them a way to fight Theodros

You misread the title. The British did not kick themselves out They kicked out the Italians and liberated Ethiopia and the rest of East Africa from Mussolini. They willingly left Ethiopia after few months to continue the war against the Axis Powers elsewhere.

You would liberate Eritrea from Isayas tyranny if you talk about it this much that you talk about Ethiopia. No matter what you do you will never have a place in Ethiopia.

[Tigray People]

Sarcasm

You must not know history but report propaganda of the coward evil British empire who never liberated Tigray or ethiopia in 1941 but came to ethiopia as an ally and to save their defeated white Italians .

The Tigray People defeated the evil fascist European Army from 1935-41 with gurella warfare that bankrupted Italy economy and destroyed them on the battlefield.

It is also true many Ethiopian all over the country resisted the fascist Invaders one way or another.

The coward British were defeated by the Nazis Germany with the help of Italy until Americans saved thier cowards [deleted] from complete defeat.

The evil British has never liberated any countries in their cursed history but colonized, genocide, looting, raping.

The Tigray People sacrificed fighting the evil fascist European Army for 5 Years paved the way for the liberation of ethiopia and Eritrea.

Don't you know the coward France with half a million soldiers and modern weapons surrendered in two weeks fight to Hitler and musline??

War is a culmination of protracted wars that took place in Tigray fighting the fascist European Army ultimately decided the outcome not the coward British who came as an ally with king hailesellasie.

BTW name one Africa or Asia county the coward evil British fought and sacrificed to liberate them?

The Republic of Tigray People!!!

[Tigray People]

Note: Coward Eritreans never lifted one finger to resist the evil fascist Italy but became thier Ascari soldiers to harm Tigray and Ethiopian but they were defeated.

It is important not to fall for the evil British empire propaganda.

The evil British begged Americans to save them from Italy and Germany which they did.

The Republic of Tigray People!!!

Stone head TPLF, you think I don’t know that? idiot tigres never stand by themselves. They used to be axumite slaves and they still like serving their handlers. 90% ascaris in libiya in the name of eritreans were reportedly Tigre. H/sillasie gugssa was bandit. Zenawi was a british slave. Tigrians sabotaged Theodros. The thread you raised is out of place and irrelevant for ya but i wanted to show you how tigre are bandits and hated! Recently British ambassador was in mekele because the country is in chaos and run by swindlers.

[Tigray People]

Coward gurages ODI

You dirty cowards diqala amhara gurages the Tigray People destroyed the entire Ethiopian, Eritreans amhara,8 regions special forces Somalia army Arab countries Russian turkey by themselves chasing the Invaders to the door step of Addis Ababa that shocked the world 3 years ago.

The Tigray People defeated the Derg -Ethiopia Army Jebha-Eritrea Army edu army eprp army i, Soviet Union, East Germany, Cuba n Tigray and Eritrea by themselves to storm Addis Ababa and colonized you for 27 years until you begged for mercy.

BTW the entire war against the fascist European Army was fought in Tigray from 1935-41 where the Tigray People defeated and bankrupted the Invaders armies of fascist.

sarcasm is an evil jealous of everything Ethiopia accomplished in history. The only country on planet Earth that has been indepedent in human history is Ethiopia - the top most thing all true Ethiopians are proud of. Everyone in the world, including UK, other European countries and the Americas acknowledged this immortal truth; it is the history book of humanity. However, those children of the Bandas/ Ascari who lost the battle; and in fact punished their legs and arms cut still live with psucolgical defeat and broken heart.

---- sarcasm's great grand father's right leg and left arm must have been chopped off by Ethiopian patriot, who knows my great grand father might have chopped off her great grand father.

[sarcasm]

I sense a lot of ungratefulness

Ethiopia's sovereignty has at last been restored, following a long and bitter struggle. The sole independent nation in Africa, Ethiopia stands as the only African country to have held membership in the League of Nations."

And you claim that Ethiopia was never colonized ? Emancipated by the British, that says it all.

[Misraq]

Notwithstanding the lack of exact documentation, we can estimate conservatively that, since each hospital ship sailed monthly to Italy, approximately 44,000 wounded and sick men were transported on the eleven ships during October 1935-1936

https://www.jstor.org/stable/42731345

So how many of them dead before making it out is another question to ask. And remember this is between 1935-1936 where active gurella fight was being waged by the Ethiopian patriots.

The British joined in 1940. And it wasn't to save Ethiopia. It was to take back British Somalia that was taken by Italy and other red sea coastal areas that threatened the British shipping. So Ethiopians and British effort was like scratch my back and i will scratch yours.
