“We do not know our history” - Thabo Mbeki South African President 1999-2008 speech on #AfricaRising on the anniversary of the defeat of European colonial Ambition at Adwa by Ethiopia led by Emperor Menilik II.

Thabo Mbeki celebrates 120 years of ADWA
Also covers (at the end) the liberation of Haiti in a slave uprising at the end of the 18th C. And the 1990s end of Apartheid South Africa.

I reflect that in some ways the repercussions of the two African victories over great western powers are not yet fully resolved.
That said, hopefully lasting freedom and independence of Ethiopia has been once more - and this time finally - settled in this latest war against a Western Proxy attacks. It is long past time for relations between Africa and European Power to realign as a partnership of equals.
