During the 9 battles of the 14 years of conquest

This is clear evidence of the historical superiority of the Somalis, the only time the Ethiopians won was when they had backup. We only had a few ottoman horseback and that was the battle of the Hills of the Jews

In the last battle, Wayna Daga, Ahmed Guray was killed in action.

Here are the Cubans who came to their rescue with soviet arms.





Xabashis are no match for Somalis despite them being 10 time More numerous.

History proves they have always won with extra help, even against the Himyarites, the Byzantines had to send so many supplies even though the Himyarites were much weaker kkkkk

Funny story my dad told me.

Most of the Ethiopian army was composed of Oromo and Nilotic slave soldiers led by Xabashi officers.

During battle, they'd surrender literally for Somali rations and had to be separated from their officers because they'd try to murder them at the earliest opportunity :icon lol:

The peasants were generally treated well, but the Xabashi officers were generally shot :icon lol:

They were nearly defeated if it wasn't for them meddling kids Cubans/soviets
That along with quote such as these: "the only time the Ethiopians won was when they had backup" :ayaanswag::ayaanswag:

Winning is not only about one's own army and physical efforts; it's also about creating alliances. :dabcasar:All those Portuguese, the Soviet, and the Cubans didn't help out of the kindness of their heart...Ethiopia had to make itself appealing to those countries and convince them to join our side. That in itself is a SKILL. :fittytousand:It's the art of diplomacy..so don't discount it as "oh Ethiopia wouldn't have won without help" because war is a SOCIAL GAME too lol. (A lot of prominent wars around the world were won with the assistance of allies...come on, give some credit:rolleyes:).

Ethiopia literally wouldn't have won without help. No matter what words you use to describe the situation, that is the basic truth.


Ethiopia had the superior number of troops yet you got steamrolled by a nation of a few millions total. It was like McGregor versus The Rock yet y'all lost and had to bring in two even bigger armies to compete :mjkkk:

When plan A fails, masterminds have a Plan B method prepared as backup:cool:. War is not all about foot work, it's also about the mind/intelligence; Ethiopians are great diplomats/strategists and you can't deny the significance of those abilities. It's a skill...and it led to a W at the end of the day. :manny:
