Ahahahaha, so Menelik also said Somalis were servants?? Wow. These Ethiopian rulers have always tried to claim Somalia were apart of Ethiopia or that Somalis were an Ethiopian group themselves, its shameless lmao
The link below has a bunch of quotes from Ethiopian rulers claiming Somalia from Dawit II to Halie Selassie. I'm sure there are more quotes but you get the point.
A lot of Somalis today are confused we are hating oromo people but supporting Amharas the thing is all types of Ethiopians are the same they all have the same interests let me give you an example during the 1900 when the country was ran by Amharas they wanted all Ethiopians united after Amhara...

I will never ever take seriously the idea that Ethiopia was some anti-colonial force.
