"It was Italian occupation of Ethiopia that brought an end to slavery in Ethiopia"...
Need more be said about the intentions and biases of the writer of this piece?
I have no romantic illusions that everything was all hunky-dory under HIM's rule in Ethiopia. HIM inherited an empire, and empires by their very nature downpress people. Historical facts should be acknowledged and not swept under the carpet.
However I think I can smell one-sided propaganda when I read it, and the above reeks of it.
Can I ask oromorality, are you yourself Oromo? Cos as I recall when the 'oromo blitz' was going on on this board the impression I got was that maybe one of the people who posted (Nama I think her name was) was actually Oromo. Maybe I'm wrong. Are you the same person as 'Fred' etc. and are you actually Oromo?
