Read this book wherever you want. It is very helpful if you want to know about Ethiopia. It clearly shows what the big countries think about Ethiopia. It shows how Egypt plotted to kill Haile Selassie for the sake of the Nile; and when it failed, it clearly shows its plan to disintegrate Ethiopia. It was partially successful. Ethiopia lost Eritrea and Djibouti. In other words, it became a landlocked country with a large population. Egypt was not alone. England, America, France… also helped it.
“It is said that the history of Ethiopia is a history of war. In all the recorded wars, there is no instance where Ethiopia has waged an invasion. The wars were mostly waged by foreign invaders who sought to expand their own political and religious goals, and to control its fertile land, healthy air resources and life-sustaining rivers for economic gain. The rest were internal campaigns by rulers who rose up at different times to expand their territory and subjugate the other side. The foreign invaders and internal campaigns that occurred in successive generations brought the people closer, united them, but did not divide them. It is recorded in history that when the country was invaded by a foreign enemy, regional rulers who were fighting each other for supremacy temporarily put aside their differences, united and agreed to fight their common enemy, and preserved the unity, independence and sovereignty of their country. A warrior who marched from one corner of the country to another “He contributed to the physical and spiritual integration of the people by settling, marrying, and giving birth in the region where he fought.”
“During the reign of Emperor Haile Selassie, efforts were made to modernize the government, expand education, and provide social services to the extent that the time and circumstances allowed. In light of the actual situation, there were notable results. Since this effort was mainly focused on centralizing power, it failed to respect the rights and freedoms of the people, establish democracy and democratic practices, and generally ensure that power belonged to the people. In this process, most of the intellectuals who came to power at the time were more interested in personal interests than in the interests of the people, which contributed to Emperor Haile Selassie’s consolidation of power. When Janhoi was unable to move due to old age, the upper leadership, which was not accustomed to moving without his permission and orders, fell with him. The question of public rights was also suppressed. It was also shown in practice that if an intellectual with knowledge, skills, and understanding of modern development does not work on the side of the people, the people cannot benefit from rights and development. Confirmed.” Pages 6 and 7
The past is not over yet. As the saying goes, “History is better than wisdom.” Today can be seen through the lens of yesterday. Ethiopia is still in trouble today. Both internal and external enemies have joined forces to attack it. The children and religious institutions that were killed in the name of Ethiopia yesterday have been singled out. They are being attacked in a variety of ways. They are being attacked with ridiculous weapons equipped with silencers. No one says anything to them. Rather, their ridicule hurts more than being hurt and killed.
We are now on a downward path that is leading the country to ruin. Our historical enemies are horrifyingly embezzling our budget. The people are being fooled by gossip and drug talk. Some elites have chosen silence for profit and power.
