Ras Alula and King Yohanes had made few mistakes in honest dealing with the Hamasien aristocrats, however, the issue of slavery was not one of their weaknesses.
On the issue of slavery, no one can be blamed in the Horn of Africa more than Issaias Afewerki who betrayed his own young people everywhere including a denial of burial ground to the Eritrean Lampedusa victims and the thousands of Eritreans who perished in the savage Arab human trafficking and slavery in the evil Arab passage and the Sahara desert. You will expect more you-tube posts on this thread. I will never abandon my own Habesha brothers and sisters who perished in the hand of the savage Arabs.

The Arabs that bought slaves from Alula Aba Nega gave him the traditional Arab robe which he wore until his death. The garment made him feel like he was an Arab.

The story of Oromo slaves bound for Arabia who were brought to South Africa

Sandra Rowoldt Shell
Published: May 9, 2019





In September 1888, the HMS Osprey serving in the Royal Navy’s anti-slave trade mission in the Red Sea, based in Aden, intercepted three dhows embarked from Rahayta and Tadjoura on the Ethiopia coast.

Aboard were 204 boys and girls bound for resale in Arabian markets. Other dhows with young human cargo were also apprehended. The children came from the highland area of Oromia Region of Ethiopia, and spoke the Oromo language.

They had been trekked as many as several hundred kilometres to the coast. The children were taken to Aden and, for a time, were housed and cared for at the Free Church of Scotland mission at Sheikh Othman.

The arrivals, however, were often too debilitated to withstand the harsh climate and prevalent malaria. In 1890, 64 of the survivors were transferred to the Free Church of Scotland’s Lovedale Institution, in Alice, a town in South Africa’s Eastern Cape.

I don't see any difference between Alula Aba Nega and Alula Solomon. They both glamorize war and sacrifice children at the alter of stupidity.
