"Adwa is not only a victory.
It is the moment an imperial system met its limit—and could not explain it away."
ለ ነፃነት ቀን ዋዜማ የምትሆን አንዲት ፅሁፍ ልጋብዛቹ!
“The Counter-Scramble: From Adwa to Fashoda — Series Preface” by Elias Wondimu!
this completely reframes how we think about Ethiopia during the Scramble for Africa.
“This series is not a correction of European history for its own sake… an African state becomes the variable empires cannot fully control.”
ይለናል Elias በሀተታው!
በጣም ያስደመመኝ ነገር ቢኖር how he shows that Ethiopia wasn’t just resisting — it was calculating, negotiating, and strategically shaping its survival.
If you’re interested in African sovereignty, history beyond colonial narratives, and deeper political thinking — this is worth your time.
ከወዲሁ እንኳን አደረሳችሁ እንኳን አደረሰን✌️
