"Why pay them? We could just kill them and take land", is what Menelick reportedly told the French ambassador who told him the French gov rented the port of Tadjura for the shipment of weapons and goods.
Menelick was primitive. Bloody violent. An armed robber.
Re: Primitive Menelick laughed at French for paying for Tadjura port for him
Menilik found you on the tree, jumping from branch to another branch, naked and eating from the leafs. He then brought you down and told you to be civilized. His soldiers took you to the river near by and washed you for the first time in your life. He then gave you a close to cover your naked body. He then named you wolde gebriel, seife Michael ...etc. From there on, you were called "Ethiopian". You inherited the proud citizenship without paying anything or contributing to it. I wonder what your nationality would have been if Menilik didn't see you on the tree
This is something we kept for over 100 years out of respect for those who entered to the system. Since you chose not to be respected, we start to state the facts in an unapologetic way. ዋጠው የትናንት ጦጣ የዛሬው አማራን ገዳይና ተሳዳቢ

Mitriq, what a fiction! Rather, this is what he said:" We came. We killed. We robbed. We learnt. We apologize.
