This article is retarded. Full of lies. Although Haileselasse fled in 1935-6 like the coward he was, he didnt flee in 1974. He was killed by the derg. And yes Eritrea isn’t and ethnic group just like Ethiopia isnt an ethnic group. Eritrea is a country that has ethinc groups. And Eritrea isn’t a recent thing. It been around for centuries. Infact it should have been the first nation in africa to gain independence in the 1940′s but the US and UK did everything in their power to prevent this from happening. And Dire…you are very retarded. “19,000 dead eritreans in 72 hours.”??? Eritrea lost 19,000 people during the whole 2 year war. So unless in 2 years = 72 hours in your fantasy world, your comment doesnt make sense. Ethiopia lost almost 15,000 during their failed sunset operation, cause Eritrea only lost up to 3000 soldiers. In total ethiopia lost 123,000 soldiers compared to eritreas 19,000. So even though there are no winners cause bothe sides lost people…ethiopia obviously had better cards in terms of warfare but lost the game. Other wise this article is somewhat accurate.

This is a extremely biased poorly wriiten article trying to portray Ethiopia as poorly organized and eritrea as some kind of sparta. Well ask what happened during operation Sunset launched by Ethiopia that resulted in 19,000 dead eritreans in 72 hours.

An ethnic Oromo recently told me that as the Amhara were conquering Oromo lands around Addis Ababa in the late nineteenth century, the Oromo were getting their asses kicked by the Abyssinians, who had muskets and were fighting in that civil war line-up-and-shoot formations. The Oromo didn’t know what to do, what with no guns and all. Eventually, they got horsemen to wear “armor” of thick leaves and charge the Ethiopian formations, chucking beehives at the massed enemy. Can this be true?
