The Romantic Rewriting of the Legacy of the Great Coward Must Stop

Post by Somaliman » 05 Feb 2021, 08:54

The great coward, as Marcus Garvey used to call him, was nothing more than a very loyal client of the West.

"The romantic rewriting of Selassie’s legacy, and the distorted history of other Ethiopian monarchs have significant relevance for current Ethiopian politics. Selassie’s legacy needs to be exposed in light of attempts by musicians, historical revisionists in the diaspora, foreign beneficiaries and politicians to control the narrative through false representations."

Absolutely correct !!

Eritreans had been to this day paying huge sacrifices in lives, properties and lost opportunities because of this bogus Ethiopian monarchs.

The people of Ethiopia also have had their fair share of suffering and atrocities because of this bogus and distorted Ethiopian monarch history.

Peace to the Horn of Africa !!

Viva Eritrea !!

In fact,the bast.ard (May he rot in hell) was a very loyal server of the West at the expense of his own people and the black race in general - more than a very loyal client.

Donkey Arawit,

Only a retard like you measures their success with other people's failure!

FYI, the achievement and success of a head of state is not measured with the failure of their successors but with the expectation of their citizens. Hai capito testa di cazzo!

The picture of that hanging could also be in Eritrea, since we know the armies of haile selassie, and then mengistu, committed atrocities in Eritrea in their failed attempts to quell/suppress their struggle.

Here we go again the lie mill never stop humming. 1957 Eritrea was federated with Ethiopia 1952 and just in 5 years the IHS government was hanging Eritreans in mass? The other thing criminals get punished by Hanging after they go through the court. Keep on plastering a picture and fabricate a story.

1. Who's to say it actually took place in 1957? ANYONE can put a date on a photo and claim it occurred on that date; but that doesn't mean that's what actually happened. Also, the abolishment of the federation was a major reason for the Eritrean's being more inspired to struggle for freedom from the Ethiopian Empire. Haile Selassie, like Menge, thought that brute force would work, alas, it didn't.

2. Emperors & Tyrants do not care for the rule of law, especially in empires like Ethiopia, so please, do not pretend as if I am a Foreigner who is not aware of the history of our country.

You are acting like a fool, there are many hairstyles that are commonly associated with Somali women/girls, Besides, Our kinky Abyssinian hair doesn't grow down, Only up into an afro, that is why many rural Amhara women cut their hair short, Anyway, I am not the owner of that JIGJIGA picture but to be honest, It was probably taken somewhere in Wello or Tigray region.

Somalis hairstyles in the eighteenth century.









Modern day Somali woman.

So many of you judge the king by modern day standards. Despite some of the things that he had done that I don't agree with, for the most part his reign was relatively better than what we witnessed came after him. Your lionizing of OLF and its heinous crimes goes to show only your motives behind your diatribe. Your blanket demonizing of the Amhara people perhaps could be explained only when one understands why they made sure that you always live in fear of their shadows. :mrgreen: Why don't you come out clean and be your own self than hiding behind the Somali skirt? You are trying so hard to force us to attack the Somalis because of your dimwitted scribble all over. No we won't do that. Mustefe has demonstrated a leadership that can only be second to none. May be your "Junta" could lean a thing or two from him.

I see a logical fallacy in your argument.. being born in Ethiopia doesn't bestow on you an outhomatic knowledge of Ethiopian history. Richard Parkhurst had known more history than any Ethiopian I know of. Eritrea existed as separat country for more than 60 years (2 generations) considering the average life span was close to mid 30s. Before you simplfy and state that the separation is due to one single reason read a little deep into it..lazy 📚 reading should not be a reason for hasty generations. At least you consented the picture and the narrative doesn't match, even the somaliman conceded. ✌ ☮
