Ethios love to bang on about that ONE battle they won against Europeans, whilst we Somalis have far more victories that we hard we hardly mention.
There's many battles, adwa is important because it signifies our independence as Italy was forced to sign a treaty where they recognized us as an independent entity. Ethiopia is the only country in Africa to not only maintain independence but also go on to set its own borders. Meaning if Europeans did t colonize Africa most of the countries would not exist as they are today.

A few, of many, favorites: 'Archangel St. Mikhail trampling Satan' by Guido Reni, and 'Cafe Terrace at Night' by Van Gogh.

From more modern painters, I like a lot of Leonid Afremov's stuff. He has a signature style & his works are just pleasant to look at.

Cmon mate, we all know the reason why "Ethiopia is the only country in Africa not to get colonised" is simply for one reason and one reason only: Christianity.

The whole purpose of colonialism was the hunger and greed for resources, second to that was the spreading of Christianity. Since Ethiopia is the oldest Christian country (disputed with Armenia), where some of the earliest Bibles were written, and the land being a mostly mountainous terrain, there was no need to colonize the place.

Then comes crazy Benito Mussolini, thinking he's the next Ceasar and reform the Roman Empire. He then goes against European colonialism rules and attacks you lot, then the other colonial powers arm you to the teeth, with modern weapons (rifles and artillery guns) to protect a people who have been worshipping Jesus for centuries before themselves.

And that is the reason you were never colonised by the likes of Britain and France. And you lot weren't even the only Africans to never be colonised. Liberia to was never colonised, but then again even they were founded and propped up by another western nation ( America) as a free state under its protection.

Now run along, your plate of raw hyena meat is calling for ya.
 
Ah, I haven't seen this for years. It's stunning.

Nice excuse for the failings of your shitty country. I hear the sadness in your voice, Somalis were colonized by Ethiopians, you must hate it and must have low self asteem because of it. Many nations tried but non could conquer Ethiopia. You lot only even discovered what civilization is through the arabs your true fathers. How sad is that, before they arrived you were savages and beast who dwelled in the desert. We will continue to subjacate your wickedness for time immortal, it's in the stars. Shouldn't you be blowing up some Pizza restaurants instead of being online?
