Re: For the record!
https://www.msingiafrikamagazine.com/20 ... in-afrika/In 1895 the Italians lured Lij Gugsa Darge, son of Ras Darge Sahle Selassie from his school in Switzerland into Italy. They persuaded him to betray his country and stand with Italy. The Italians promised Lij Gugsa that after they defeated his cousin Menelik II, they would place him on Menelik’s throne and make him Emperor. They were helped in convincing Gugsa that this would be a good idea by Afework Gebreyesus, then a student in Italy who was another person who would become famous for repeated betrayal of his country. When Menelik II marched north from Addis Ababa to confront the Italian invasion, he left his uncle Ras Darge Sahle Selassie as Regent in his absence. The Italians hoped that they could turn Ras Darge against his nephew by revealing to him that his son was on their side and that they would place him on the Imperial throne.
However, the senior prince of the House of Shewa was not what the Italians thought he would be. Ras Darge not only remained loyal to his Emperor and his country, he also disowned his son and had his name blotted from the family genealogy. The Italians were crushed at Adwa and Lij Gugsa lost everything, his family, his country, and every shred of respect he could have once expected as a member of the Imperial dynasty. He is barely a footnote in most histories of the era. He died an exile, forgotten and unmourned.
Afe-Qesar Afework Gebreyesus whom I’ve mentioned above was another figure of betrayal. His betrayal was repeated. Sent to Italy in his youth for higher education he became deeply enamored with that land to the point that his loyalties to his homeland were compromised.
