Errecting a statue to Menelik after all the crimes Menelik has carried out to Eritreans(Tigrayans), Oromos, Sidama, Wolaita, Guraghes. The Eritreans were given away for slavery to Italy with a simple agreement called Wuchale Treaty. Menelikgave away Eritrea in exchange of a few outdated guns. He used these guns to kill african tribes in South Ethiopia and conquered them as the African tribes fought with outstanding heroism with spears and shield.
Menelik is thus an ascari numero uno and a criminal. Errecting a statue to Menelik is joking and cheating history which one day will be exposed by the rightous Ethiopian nationaists. We need to serve justice to Eritreans who were sold for slavery to Italy. We need to serve justice to the various african tribes in South Ethiopia who had to be killed by Menelik's army. Demolish or remove the statue to Menelik as Menelik was an ascari and a criminal!

Re: Demolish the Menelik Monument or Hawelt!
Treaty of Wichale, Wichale also spelled Ucciali, (May 2, 1889), pact signed at Wichale, Ethiopia, by the Italians and Menilek II of Ethiopia, whereby Italy was granted the northern Ethiopian territories of Bogos, Hamasen, and Akale-Guzai (modern Eritrea and northern Tigray) in exchange for a sum of money and the provision of 30,000 muskets and 28 cannons.
Article XVII of the Treaty of Wichale stated that the emperor of Ethiopia “could” have recourse to the good offices of the Italian government in his dealings with other foreign powers; but the Italian text of the treaty had the word “must.” Based on their own text, the Italians proclaimed a protectorate over Ethiopia. In September 1890, Menilek II repudiated their claim, and in 1893 he officially denounced the entire treaty. An attempt by the Italians to impose a protectorate over Ethiopia by force was finally confounded by their defeat at the Battle of Adwa on March 1, 1896. By the Treaty of Addis Ababa (Oct. 26, 1896), the country south of the Mareb and Muna rivers was restored to Ethiopia, and Italy acknowledged the absolute independence of Ethiopia.
