It is a well known fact that Ethiopia, a country that has never been colonized, has for ever been a symbol of freedom and has inspired many countries which suffered under the yoke of oppression to strive for liberty.
It is also a fact that Ethiopia has played a prominent role in the process of the struggle for freedom, which preoccupied the African continent throughout most of the 20th century.
Many countries throughout the African continent have benefited from Ethiopia’s diplomatic and material assistance during their periods of desperate struggle for independence from colonialism.
Examples of this remarkable support include the Ethiopian Government’s support for liberation fighters such as Nelson Mandela who has acknowledged, in his own book, that he had received military training and financial support in Ethiopia.
It is to be recalled also that Ethiopia was the main party that took the racist apartheid regime of South Africa to the International Court of Justice pressing for the liberation of Namibia, a country that is now free and prosperous.
One country that benefited from Ethiopia’s support for its struggle against racism and colonialism was Zimbabwe. Those in authority there know the full extent of the very substantial assistance provided to them by the Ethiopian government and people during their struggle for freedom.
How did the Mugabe government express its gratitude for this generous assistance? It gave refuge to Ethiopia’s worst dictator, Mengistu Haile Mariam, a criminal whose record should subject him to prosecution at the International Court of Justice. This is an insult to the Ethiopian people. Shame on the Zimbabwe Government! FULL ARTICLE AT »
