Fabregas Posted March 3, 2007 Battle of Adwa Menelik was victorious over Italy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmed_Guree Posted March 3, 2007 dude how victoriuos? Italians had still the control of Eritrea thus technicaly making abysinia landlocked. The abysinians forced thousands of Walaitas,Oromos and other cushitic nationals into the front line while the Habeshas were in the backround redy to flee if necessary. One thing that an Italian army officer noticed of the abysinain cowardise was most of the abysinain soilders were chained together so that non should flee from the battle. Lets say 1890 the fall of the western Somali capital of Harar. Menelik with the help of french ransacked the city killing thousands,plundering the city its know 100yrs and mogadihsu has fallen to the same villians.
