His Majesty continues:

In this struggle of unequal rivalry between a government which had at its disposal a people of 42 million inhabitants, which was able to obtain all the necessary weapons and resources, and which possessed all the technical knowledge to make arms of various kinds to extinguish human life and, on the other hand, a small people of 12 million inhabitants which lived by trusting only impartial justice and the covenant of the League of Nations, and which possessed neither arms nor mioney-in this unequal war, you yourselves can well assess that there has not been any real help for the Ethiopian Government, even after the Rome Government had been condemned of having violated the League';s covenant and after the nations had declared that they would resist the aggressor's triumph.
Is it that every single government in the League has considered the war of aggression exactly as if
it had been waged against itself as an individual member, as the signature which it appended to Article 17 of the Leagues covenant required it to do?
I had placed all my hopes in the dutiful fulfilment of these obligations. My hopes had obtained support from the declarations madein the League that the aggressor would not gain a reward and that force would be defeated by the law.
In the month of December 1935 the Council made it clearly known that it shared the view of many hundreds of million people in the whole world who opposed the plan which had been presented for the partition of Ethiopia. It has been said many many time: this conflict which has arisen is not only the conflict of Ethiopia and Italy but it is the conflict of the Italian Government and the League of Nations.
This is why I myself, and my people, replied that I would not accept all the proposals which the Italians had submitted to me which were for my own benefit but which would undermine the covenant of the League of Nations. That I had adopted the position of resistance was additionally also for the cause of the small nations exposed to aggression. And where have all the promises of support that were given to me got to?

To be continued.
The journey of life continues.Take the best care of yourselves and your people.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self determination to African people everywhere.
ONE BLACK HEART ONE BLACK LOVE.
