  • How the late 1800s crated Ethiopian mythology is a counter-ideological resistance to the Haitian RevolutionHaitian Revolution from 1791-1804 vs Abyssinia Adwa in 1896The Haitian revolution put fear & nightmare in European colonial powers not Abyssinia Ask yourself why was Haiti penalize after its revolution & trapped into debts to the French for decades while Abysinnia after Battle of Adwa got support in nation building from European powers?I always said the Haitian revolution should have been the only symbol of black resistance from the 1800s for the Black diaspora & Africa not AbyssiniaHaiti is a narrative of slaves revoltingAbysinnia is a feudal monarch who enrich themselves from slavery in 1800s Ethiopia is a creation of European colonialism & Battle of Adwa was a proxy war between France & Britain Hati was the real deal not Abyssinia Truly a black nation & an African resistance realizedHaiti narrative is not centered compared to the promotion of Ethiopia and there is a reason for it The Haitian Revolution has often been described as the largest and most successful slave rebellion in the Western Hemisphere. Slaves initiated the rebellion in 1791 and by 1803 they had succeeded in ending not just slavery but French control over the colony.Haiti had a history of slave rebellions;there were slave rebellions before 1791. poisoning of masters.Before the fighting ended 100,000 of the 500,000 Africans and 24,000 of the 40,000 whites were killed.former slaves managed to stave off both the French forces and the British who arrived in 1793 to conquer the colony, and who withdrew in 1798 after a series of defeats by l’Overture’s forces.By 1801 Hait abolished slavery Haitian Revolution had outlasted the French Revolution which ….Napoleon Bonaparte, dispatched 43,000 French troops to capture restore both French rule and slavery. on November 18, 1803the French forces were defeated. On January 1, 1804, Dessalines declared the nation independent and renamed it Haiti. France became the first nation to recognize its independence. Haiti thus emerged as the first black republic in the world, and the second nation in the western hemisphere (after the United States) to win its independence from a European power.The war on Haiti never ended after 1804 but continued in various forms via intervention, coup attempts and continues the management of the Haitian state by disregarding the people demands--compared that with Ethiopia in which from the beggin Europe help create Ethiopia and turn into the first African neo-colonial state with Abyssian as their local administrators and mangaers..Below is the counter narrrative that challanges the mytoolgy around Battle of Adwa being the symbol of restianceMekuria Bulcha, PhD, ProfessorThe circumstances, under which the peoples of the south, such as the Oromo, who were conquered in the 1880s, and the Walaita, who were conquered by Menelik two years before the battle of Adwa, were made to march north and participate in the Battle of Adwa must be notedIt was after Adwa that Menelik imposed the notorious gabbar system on the conquered south. Slavery and the slave trade became even more rampant thereafter with the conquest of the rest of the south and southwest which became hunting grounds for captives and ivory.[29] Ironically, it was the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1936 which brought the outrageous institution and evil trade in human beings to an end. “The united country called Ethiopia, which according to Larebo and Borago existed centuries before Adwa, is a myth. The fact is that when he turned north to meet the Italians at Adwa, Menelik was in the midst of the conquest of the south. The entire Macha region – the Gibe and Leeqa states – was annexed only in 1886. Arsi was conquered in 1886 and Hararge in 1887. As indicated above, Walaita was conquered in 1894. The sores inflicted by the atrocities committed against the Oromo at Anole and Calanqoo in 1886 and 1887 by the conquering Abyssinian forces were still bleeding. Even Wallo’s conquest in the north was completed in 1878 after years of fierce battles between Menelik (then King of Shawa) and Emperor Yohannes IV on one side and the Wallo Oromo on the other. ““. While the Abyssinians were defending their freedom, the Oromo had no freedom to defend against the Italians. They had lost it to the Abyssinians during the preceding decade. Their land was an Abyssinian colony. The “contribution” they were forced to make to the war effort saved the Abyssinians from European colonialism, but it did not help them to regain their own independence.”“ the Oromo did not fight at Adwa as ethnic Abyssinians or citizens of Abyssinia as Borago and other commentators try to suggest. They fought for their colonizers. They were not the first people to fight a war for their enemies.”In his Ethiopia: The Last Frontiers, John Markakis writes that Abyssinia “competed successfully in the imperialist partition of the...

Misleading!

The audacity you have to compare Adwa with the Haiti revolution is one of the biggest mistakes you did. Secondly, calling Oromos the originals of Ethiopia indicates that you did not do thorough research. Do you even know who the Oromos are in the first place? Do you know that they invaded the Amharas in the 16th century? they could have kicked them out like any enemy. I cannot say much about the Haiti revolution so you may be right but I can surely say that you ended up talking rubbish and nonsense about Ethiopia. STOP MISLEADING PEOPLE!

A hodgepodge of echoing the Oromo politician

The podcast is filled with prejudice, false historical facts, and unfounded assumptions about the Abyssinians and it indicates that the speaker didn't research well and kept cherry-picking without shame to support the false narrative of the Oromo Politicians. Portraying the thousands of years of Ethiopian history as mythology told by white people, is a contradiction and ridiculous statement. I encourage you to dig deep if the aim is to provide facts and enlighten the Africans in the diaspora. The speaker quotes the Oromos authors sympathizing with their cause. Presenting the Abyssinians as if colonizing the Oromos, and purposefully neglecting the crimes of the Oromos' invasion of Ethiopia in the 16th century - exterminating several groups of the Amhara people and other indigenous people along the way, is serving nothing other than extending the Germans' cause by giving the name called Oromo to the Gala people, and indoctrinate them false history to weaken the great nation Ethiopia/ Abyssinia. Also reducing the significance of Adwa for Blacks' freedom and pan-Africanism is sheer stupidity. A few readings will clarify that. Adwa is a victory for Africa done by a black nation/Abyssinians/Ethiopians that has a long history of kingdom and government, which made the white people to rethink the ability of blacks and supported the argument of Black Egypt. It is a misplace to compare the Haiti slave revolution with the victory of Adwa, the two events have their own contribution to blacks.

Thé Dismemberment of Ethiopia

What this speaker has presented is nothing new. There is a poisonous narrative that was created years ago by the colonialists and then updated a little in the 20th/21st century by neo-colonialists which is called the theory of « dependent colonialism ».

The so called « progressive people » preaching this theory in 2022 little realize that colonialism claimed responsibility for this theory (in relation to Ethiopia) a long time ago. Italy forged the notion of « Greater Somalia » comprising the emirates of Jimma and Harar and openly supporting Islam in order to undermine Ethiopian resistance. During the five year Italian occupation from 1936-1941, it divided Ethiopia along ethnic lines, the purpose of which to create internal divisions and provoke the revolt of the non-Amhara populations such as the Oromo and the Muslims. The idea of « Greater Tigray » was another divisive project hammered out by Italy & Great Britain to underpin their colonial design. Obvious in all of these projects was the idea of Ethiopian colonialism which, if accepted, would paint the European colonizers as liberators (this speaker is doing this & in doing so does dishonor to Haiti & Ethiopia). From whichever direction we look at this argument and no matter who presents it, the invalidity of the Ethiopian state in its present borders is what the theory supports. The insertion of the colonial issue into the Ethiopian state presents its dissolution as the only viable solution, for no agreement or compromise, still less integration, can be achieved between the colonizer & the colonized.

The speaker is extremely disingenuous. He takes it for granted that the listeners don’t know that the Oromos violently invaded Ethiopia in the 16th century. He imagines his listeners don’t know Oromos also enslaved their captive population, that is those whose lives were spared. I am sick and tired of hearing the colonial narrative come again and again and again. The Ethiopian state can be criticized like any other state but let’s keep lies and obviously twisted narratives devised by white supremacists out of it.

Finally, the speaker deliberately uses the word Abyssinia to describe Ethiopia. Ethiopians have ALWAYS described themselves as Ethiopians. Sitting in the Vatican is a letter from an Ethiopian Emperor from the 15th century (before the Oromo invasion) in which he calls himself the Ethiopian Emperor. The speaker calls Ethiopia Abyssinia because he wants to register his disdain for the country. That’s not right! Call people and countries by their right name whether you like them not. I was reminded of a great quote from Malcolm X. « The media can make the oppressor look like the oppressed and the oppressed look like the oppressor. That’s exactly what my man attempted to do today,

Listeners study this theory of dependent colonialism and you will realize fake & corrosive it can be for those who do not know the history of Ethiopia.
