When the Amhara tribe concocted a proverbial adage: ሥራ ያጣ መንኩሼ   ቆቡን ቀዶ ይሰፋል they did not realise they were describing themselves. On daytime and that of a night, they tend to do things routinely through out their lives. On day time they take stock of facts and instead of dealing with realties they tend to fabricate convoluted reverse images and at nights they congregate in sorcerers’ hamlets

 to gloat.

This was the culture they endeavoured to spread for well over the centuries when they did manage to have the upper edge.

Such people are so pleased with the stories they told that they were the first victims to genuinely believe it was the truth, and they would sacrifice their necks to defend it. 

Listen to this, Yohannes permitted the Italians to occupy the coastal area of Bahere Negadh. Menelik did perform better by limiting their move further inland by signing the Wechale Treaty.  Neither of which were historically right.

The Treaty did not stop the Italians form attempting to move further south, nor Yohannes permitted the Italians to occupy the costal land of Aksumites. 

The Italians were on the costal land of Bahere Negash  as much as the Eritreans are now in Tigray. The Eritreans are in Tigray not because the Tigray government or the Tigrayans permitted them to occupy but because they have  brutal internal and external enemies forces. 

That was also the case with Behere Negash: occupied by sheer brutal force of western colonial powers Yohannes was detracted to push out, not by a good will and signing as Menelik did.

In world history Menelik was and will be the only monarch who sold out his land for Dual reasons. To weaken part of the people under his domain who he was under the fear of being undermined and removed from power. Likewise to obtain cash and arms to subjugate other tribes and ethnic groups, just like the European did to other Africans during the scramble for Africa. 

Menelik was a black colonisers supported by Europeans for their own good reasons, as Haileselassie  was who sought European support to wage war against Tigray in 1943 control and transferred land of Tigray to Amhara land. 

Who would have thought a man who fled the battled field and sought refugee 6000 km away in the United Kingdom would be regarded as a hero and welcome back not only to rule but also claim land from Tigray by way of dowry for his son who married a widowed daughter of Ras Seyum Mengesha, half an Amhara, who grew until the age of 24 in Gojjam, brought to Tigray with Amhara wives; barely speaking the Tigrighna language, who in turn was complaisant for Tigray to be robbed and loose its land with out resisting the encroachments. 

How on earth, except in Amhara Ethiopia, would a land, its rivers, plants, wild animals it’s people would be given away as dowries, for a woman in her second marriage that lasted only one single year and the again divorced.

There is nothing the Amhara ruling class wouldn’t do on this earth to stay in power. 

Up until the fall of Haileselassie at a high school level preparing for Matriculation (Ethiopian School Leaving Certification)  the Ethiopian History subject taught   began from Menelik, forget Aksum, forget the middle age.

The course started from Menelik for two obvious reasons. They would have loved to include the period of Emperor Theodore  as they were desperate to have their own hero/s.  Even though unverified sources claim Theodros was haft Kemant and Tigrayan  – Wedegeoris as his father.

Be Theodros an Amhara as he may, beginning the history of Ethiopia from him would eventually lead to including Yohannes, the Amhara loath to do for fear of the truth. Let alone history  the Amhara ruling elites failed deliberately to dedicate a road, school or a public institution under his name.

The second reason is obvious, if in fact Theodros was not an Amhara, they would expose themselves that they are fabricators of myths.

At a university level the subject of Aksum was offered for a term for History major/minor students. 

But the lecturer, and the book he wrote about Aksum was degrading, and infantile absurd. 

Just an example mentioning Queen Shaba, in his book he mentioned a python spat a venom and her leg turned into a hoof, she had difficulty to walk and hid from the public, until she travelled to Israel to Meet Solomon to heal her trouble. Leave the the obelisks, the artefacts, inscriptions, the coins etc and archeological facts untouched and explored. 

I will leave the judgment for you if this is history you teach students.

The history curriculum setting in the last century was built on false narrations, deliberate exclusion and blatant lies to degrade and dehumanise pre- Menilik historical icons..

  1. You fox are suffering from a series of inferiority complex and you enjoy blaming others for your own short comings. People who are suffering with this disease can not heal without taking responsibility for their own mistake. so blaming Amhara, Menilik etc only prolong you misery it does not bring you solution. So take full responsibility for the mess you created in Ethiopia, thinking you can fragment the country ethnically so that you can control the people when the different ethnics fight each other. what an evil idea that brought you down ungracefully from Arat kilo. So instead of blaming and start spreading the usual lie, make the best out of the opportunity that was given to you. we did not forgot what tplf and its supporters did, we just forgive for the good of the country.

    1. The one who is suffering from inferiority complex is the one who has no:
      1. Identity
      2. History
      3. Land
      4. Culture
      The thieves of history, land, culture, alphabet, Calendar, etc. The only society that consider theft as profession on the planet is Amhara. i am talking about the Watie theft profession of Amhara. You are the only society on the planet who consider:
      1. Theft or stealing or in your language, Arada? or Erdna?
      2 Prostitution
      3. Lying,
      4. Laziness , you are the only society who abhor hard-work and who call hard working people Kuli or Teshekami, or
      As virtue and values.

  2. An Amhara cyber militant says”Turkey OUT of Ethiopia NOW! Christians DO NOT WANT TURKEY !! January 3, 2023 At 2:09 am
    The trouble maker around the Arab world and other parts of the world , Turkey needs to get out of Ethiopia internal affair.
    Turkey is known to massacre Christians around the world including in Ethiopia and that is what it want to do in Ethiopia.We do not want to see the repeat of Christians and Oromos massacre as during the Islamic ruthless invader, Gragn Mohammed of Turkey’s mercenary. The wall of Harrar speaks, it is a witness to the pile of dead Oromos as high as the gate itself killed by ruthless Gragn Mohamed of Turkey decent..
    Bringing Turkey into the Orommuma weak and flimsy politics is a proof Ethiopian is a failed state and there is no government that people support and that has a leg it can stand on.
    Abiy is loosing from every corner and his greedy, inept and blind to reality of the country demand is taking him down faster that he thinks.Ethiopians demand a change of Government that represent ALL and elected by the WILL OF THE PEOPLE! Not by deceit, war, and force!! FREE ALL Political prisoners including THE 18,000 selected by their AMHARA ethnicity !!”
    Nebula and his mates are striving to erect more statues in Axum while millions are starving and deprived of access to public services. Erection of statues will not bring civilization and will not make Tigray great when millions are not able to meet their basic needs .

    Criticism:Ethiopian christians worked with Turkey, Iran, UAE and Somalia to exterminate Tigrayans and destroy historical sites and loot priceless heritages.
    Most powerful mafia, TPLF ever get a grip of the highest office in country will soon be ousted . Our condolences to its fans in Diaspora like Nebula, puppy, who is notorious for his lenghty and trashy comments here . Thoso there decades in which adowa mafia control both the ecclesiastical and secular highest offices how now regrettably came to an end . Congratulations to the People of Tigray who were under the despotice rule of TPLF for over 3 decades.Woes and condolences to the supporters of TPLF.

  3. Correction:
    1. Italian did not occupy the coastal land before Yohanes moved to save the people of Gonder and Gojam who were being killed, raped by Mehadists. Italian only occupied the coastal land atter Yohanes left Massawa to save the ungratefuls and did same them and he lost his life for them.
    2. There is no Amhara tribe, Amhara tribe never existed or never exist. As Proffessro Richard Punkrust put it Ahmhara are identity less, history less, landless people, African Gipsy. Reason, Professor Richard P said, Amhara are of mixed origin with no trace of history or ethnic identity. Reason, because they are mixtures of many tribes + some descent of West and Central African Axumite slaves. Amhara did not exist before TPLF. it is TPLF who created them and gave them a new land called Amhara kilil which is the bomb TPLF planted stupidly. Professors R P Punkrusts says in his book of Ethiopian history that the Amhara look down on other ethnics or tribes but they themselves have no identity or history or land. He said they live by stealing Tigrean history and land, identity.
    This is also the truth. There is no Amhara identity or ethnic in any history book. There was only the name Amhara orally spoken but nothing on the ground. It is the cursed TPLF who put Amhara on the land they never had.
    It is also evident Amhara hate all ethnics or tribes existence because they do not have ethnics origin or tribal origin or I mean monolithic. They even think tribe or ethnic is sin or something that must exist in the world. But ethnic or tribe is an objective reality. All human be it White, Asia, Arabs, Africans, all human have ethnics or tribes. India has about 3000 ethnics, china 300 and others similarly. Amhara steal land, history, language, alphabet, Calendar, culture . Now they even telling us they own Axum and the whole Tigray. And they are not joking. They say it and they mean it.
    I suggest Tigreans stop moaning about Amhara and Menelick and instead reclaim, restore, rebuild Axum by going back to square one. Talking about Menelick one generation after another generation will do nothing for Tigray. What about the Tigrignea Menelick TPLF who recycled 100% Menelick and Mussoloni agenda who openly Recycled and implemented Menelick agenda and exposed Tigray in strategic and economic, existtensial insecurity and Genocide. Right now, we must blame no one except ourselves, because TPLF is the new Meenlick of Tigray.

  4. By the way, Menelick never cared about Gonder, Gojam, because his country was Ankober which was a colony of Axum and used to be administered by Tigreans. It must also known Gonderes are not Amhara or they are Sudanese, Beja tribe in Sudan of Meroe kingdom which is the original Ethiopia, the Gonderes the original Ethiopian from Sudan and the Gojam are Agew plus others tribes. Wollos are Oromo,Agew + others tribes,Shewa are West and Central African Axumite slave descents. So there is no Amhara on the land, no palace or anything written or crafted on the ground that says Amhara and that they have steal our history, and land.

  5. Nebula, what is your education level? what you wrote is not coherent and it is more of pulling one word from here and put it there whether it make sense or not. so I would not be surprised if you do not know history as you do not know so many things so you are forgiven for that. I read many articles in this website and almost all of the writers are amazingly have similar thinking and mindset that created the current problem. One other thing I observed in this site is, again all of you are hang on your fairy tale past we were this and we were that while destroying the present and the future. No one care what you were a million year ago, whether you were axumite what ever that means and all the nonsense you claim to be have no current value what so ever. what matters is what are you now!. Do you think bad mouthing a world class king Menilik or the great people of Amhara make your situation better? you may think that way, because when people failed over and over, it is easier to blame others and go sleep well until the next disaster, that is exactly the cycle you all in.

  6. Gojam aka HGDF , know you also have no identity. You are confused Shabia trolling here pretending as if you are Gojamie Agew. No time to talk about you wasted HGDF.
