"Woyane was betrayed the same way Hatsey Yohannes was betrayed by Menelik"

Post by Deqi-Arawit » 11 Jan 2020, 08:07

These were the word of Memhir Gebrekidan Desta..

Democracy is all about numbers, one man, one vote and majority rule. Dr Abiye, as an Oromo represents more than 35% of the Ethiopian population and given his mother is an Amhara who makes up 30% of Ethiopian population gives him an overwhelming majority to rule the country unchallenged. Hence why are Tigrians moaning and whining that Dr Abiye has indeed betrayed them? and the funny thing is, no educated Tigrian set the record straight that Tigians are a minority who makes up 6% of the Ethiopian population. But still, they are airing the victim mentality which they are known for, that Amhara and Oromo have betrayed them.

Elias Amare is wedi Medhin Berad condom who should keep silent.

There is no room for Muslims in the holly land of Axum. End of the story. If Elias Amare want to shed some crocodile tears to score some whorish and cheap political point against Woyane, there are many too count...But Axum is no of them.

Here are the two notorious Wedi Medhin Berad sperm swallowers who are trying to badmouth Hatsey Yohannes. (Peace be up on him)

These condemns need to read one or two books before they compare woyane with Yohannes.

Are you by any chance, a hòmosexual? Your dirty vocabulary, points in that direction.

He's someone who decimated Eritreans through Alula, & treacherously arrested Raesi Weldenchiel.

Thank God, his head is a museum piece now. :lol:

Well, give evidence that they guzzle any sperm then!!!

Otherwise, you're talking about your secret fantasy about PIA.

Analize what? That, Alula massacred Eritreans? That Kassa arrested Raesi Weldenchiel, after promising on the Tabot- that fake Christian- or that his head is in Kasssla museum today?

These are known facts, to everyone!

Here it is, Einstein! :lol:
Crimes committed against the Eritrean people by Ras Alula and Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia
Ras Alula



Ras Alula committed many atrocities in the different parts of Eritrea, but this was his biggest blunder. On 22 November 1886, Ras Alula, the army general of Atze Yohannes IV of Tigray having failed to beseige Kassala that was protected by the Mahdists and so badly in need of the prestige of a victory; ordered the ruthless massacre of the Baria and Kunama in south west Eritrea and by the last week of November that year his army massacred about two-thirds (67%) of the Baria and Kunama population of Eritrea - Alberto Pollera's "I Baria e I [ deleted ]" (1913) pp. 50-52.Also stated in Haggai Erlich's, "Ras Alula" pp.101-102

The Christian elite of Eritrea never forgave Alula for putting an end to their political autonomy and for deposing their regional leader Ras Walda Mikael px
Ras Alula had mobilised a 20, 000 man army in Tigre and on the first Saturday after Mesqal 27/ 1878 he crossed the Marab and entered Hamasen. An advance guard cut the Hamasen –Bogos road to block Walda Mikael’ escape route( Haggai Erlich's, "Ras Alula". P 27)
1879

In July 1879 with Walda Mika el in his camp Allula crossed the Merab and camped at Gura in Akalla Guzay.. The French in Massawa were concerned about a possible Ethiopan advance, especially to Bogos, where their Lazzarist missionaries
(whose religious activities Yohannes denounced) had also served the Egyptian cause and had harboured Ethiopian outlaws like Walde-Mikael and Bahta Hagos.
In August 1879 Alula ordered his deputy Walda Mikael to send his troops forward. Commanded by one of Walda Mikael devoted Kantiba Shawish, the Ethiopian army entered Bogos, and taxed the various tribes, Europian colonists and missionaries.

December 1879

Alula used the Bogos expedition to engineer Walda –Mikael’s fall. He refrained from sending troops towards Massawa, and thus Walda Mikael remained at Gura surrounding by Alula’s men, while his most loyal followers were raiding Bogos.

According to Hamasen oral tradition, Alula falsely accused Walda-Mikael’s nephew, Kantiba Haylu to whom Alula had promised the governorship of Hazaga, testified against his uncle, while potential witnesses for the defendant were intimated. Together with his son, Dadjazmach Mesfen and Ledj Hayla Malakot, and his son in law, Balambaras Kefle Iyasus, the ras was arrested and sent to Yohannes in Adwa.

The emperor was not totally convinced about the plot, and in any case Alula, as a ras, was not superior to Walda Mikael, so it was up to the emperor to do justice.
In December 1879 Yohannes rescinded the verdict and ordered Alula and Walde Mikael to Dabra Tabor for a hearing. Alula repeated his accusations, and placed Yohanneses in the postion of having to choose between his faithful servant and the former rebel Walde Mikael was subsequently condemned and in January 1880, was put on Amba Salama with his sons. Walda Mikael was the last hereditary rulers to hold power in the Mareb Mellas. People in Eritrea still recall Allula’s name in that connection.(Haggai Erlich's, "Ras Alula" P74-75)

The establishment of Asmara, Alula’s capital from late 1884

According to oral tradition, it was Emperor Yohannes himself who told ras that the old capital of Addi Taklay “can not serve as a barrier against the enemy” The emperor sought Asmera’s establishment not merely to counter the Italians, but also to provide Alula with a province of his own.

According to Pollera, Yohannes authorised Alula to confiscate one-tenth of the Marab Mellash for himself and for his officers, but this effort to crate large gults (territorial fiefs) was fiercely and successfully opposed by the local inhabitants. During his government in the Merab Mellash, Allula managed to make a few inroad into the rest system, to enable newcomers to join the feudal upper class.( Haggai Erlich's, "Ras Alula" p82)

The first was the formulation of the Forty years right
The second was an edict which laid down that every tribute-paying owner of land, by whatever title.
Another loophole was to give the right of inheritance to local women, many of whom probably married Tigrean newcomers and other outsiders.

Alula also reportedly exploted Hamasen’s characteristic collective village ownership of land. He confiscated one quarter of the land of such villages for the use and ownership of his Tigrean soldiers, forcing the others to compensate those deprived of their property.
After Alula arrival in Hamasen in 1879, Allula had renewed commerce with Massawa, hitherto adversely affected by the Egyptian campagn and the struggle with Ras Walda Mikael. From that moment, Alula did his best to secure the trade route to the coast in spite of the international problems involved.. His main interest was the highly profitable arms trade, for which the ras was in constant commercial relations with various Greek traders in Massawa. On the Massawa-Tigre caravan route, the tiny little village of Asmara described as numbering 150 inhabitant in 1830 was chosen by Alula as his commercial headquarters. In 1880(or even before).

Alula appointed a naggad ras there to organise the caravans. At the beginning of 1881 Rohlfs reckoned the populations of Asmera as numbering a few hundered.In early 1884 Wylde estimated three hundred houses and a population of two thousand.(Haggai Erlich's, "Ras Alula" P82)

In the Marab Mellash Allula’s soldiers found a new way of life and lost their interest in returning to Tigre. Alula had encouraged the settlement of his immigrant soldiers, mostly the one to two thousand devoted veterans whom he had commanded since his days as an unknown shalaqa. They lived in the Merab Mellash, and no longer wanted to return to Tigre where they had no property. Their needs were met through land alienation and rapid integration into the Hamasen peasantry.

According to Perini, in pre-Alula times Sa zega, kodofelasi and Edaga Hamus were the main markets in the Marab Mellash, and trade was free of tax all over the country. Alula however closed all the markets and opened a big one in Asmera, at which a shum edaga, the chief of the market.

Alula’s tax schedule was quite high. Merchants had to pay the relatively enormous sum of about two thalers per mule load, while a farmer an owner of two oxen, was charged about ten thalers per annum, plus two-fifths of his production.

During Alula’s administration 1879-1889, Hamasen provided taxes of 125, 000 thalers; Akalla Guzay paid 7, 900 per annum Tribes of the Habbab, Bogos, Maria and =Banu Amir paid a total of around 7, 750 thalers per annum. [Haggai Erlich's, "Ras Alula"84-85].

In 1880 Alula raid Bogos and took 10, 000 head of cattle
Alula led another expendition to Bogos in December 1881 on 16 January camped with his army at Debra Sina and published an awadj regarding rates of taxes for the neighbouring tribes. Most of these unfortunate people reported the new French vice consul at Massawa. “Bring the tax”, while Rashed Pasha [the Egyptian commander] who cannot protect them, burn their villages
Around 15 of Febrary Alula pillaged for two day in the Ad-Tamaryam and Bedjuk countries and returned to Addi Taklay with 7-8 000 sheep and goats, almost as many cattle, and some 15, 000 thalers(Maria Theresa dollars)[Haggai Erlich's, "Ras Alula"34-35 pages

From that moment, Alula did his best to secure the trade route to the coast in spite of the international problems involved.. His main interest was the highly profitable arms trade, for which the ras was in constant commercial relations with various Greek traders in Massawa. On the Massawa-Tigre caravan route, the tiny little village of Asmara described as numbering 150 inhabitant in 1830 was chosen by Alula as his commercial headquarters. In 1880(or even before).

Alula appointed a naggad ras there to organise the caravans. At the beginning of 1881 Rohlfs reckoned the populations of Asmera as numbering a few hundered.In early 1884 Wylde estimated three hundred houses and a population of two thousand.(Haggai Erlich's, "Ras Alula" P82)

In the Marab Mellash Allula’s soldiers found a new way of life and lost their interest in returning to Tigre. Alula had encouraged the settlement of his immigrant soldiers, mostly the one to two thousand devoted veterans whom he had commanded since his days as an unknown shalaqa. They lived in the Merab Mellash, and no longer wanted to return to Tigre where they had no property. Their needs were met through land alienation and rapid integration into the Hamasen peasantry.

According to Perini, in pre-Alula times Sa zega, kodofelasi and Edaga Hamus were the main markets in the Marab Mellash, and trade was free of tax all over the country. Alula however closed all the markets and opened a big one in Asmera, at which a shum edaga, the chief of the market.

Alula’s tax schedule was quite high. Merchants had to pay the relatively enormous sum of about two thalers per mule load, while a farmer an owner of two oxen, was charged about ten thalers per annum, plus two-fifths of his production.

During Alula’s administration 1879-1889, Hamasen provided taxes of 125, 000 thalers; Akalla Guzay paid 7, 900 per annum Tribes of the Habbab, Bogos, Maria and =Banu Amir paid a total of around 7, 750 thalers per annum. [Haggai Erlich's, "Ras Alula"84-85].

In 1880 Alula raid Bogos and took 10, 000 head of cattle
Alula led another expendition to Bogos in December 1881 on 16 January camped with his army at Debra Sina and published an awadj regarding rates of taxes for the neighbouring tribes. Most of these unfortunate people reported the new French vice consul at Massawa. “Bring the tax”, while Rashed Pasha [the Egyptian commander] who cannot protect them, burn their villages
Around 15 of Febrary Alula pillaged for two day in the Ad-Tamaryam and Bedjuk countries and returned to Addi Taklay with 7-8 000 sheep and goats, almost as many cattle, and some 15, 000 thalers(Maria Theresa dollars)[Haggai Erlich's, "Ras Alula"34-35 pages

Ras Alula and the Scramble for Africa: A Political Biography : Ethiopia & Eritrea, 1875-1897
Mercenary robot.
Gedeon Abay Asmerom, Wedi Medhin Berad concubine was trying to make a cheap political point by attacking Yohannes in the way how he treated the muslims and worst by comparing him with the Gutless and coward woyane. If you had a normal IQ, you would have questioned the remark before you post the non sense to this forum? But as a mercenary robot', you went ahead and post it any way.

And now, you claim, Ras Alula killed and maimed kunama and Nara. This is how the mind of a mercenary robot works, First of all, they were not called Eritreans or your countrymen when they meet the wrath of Alula. The word Eritrea and Eritrean identity started to come to the surface after Italian colonization which was in 1890 and the alleged massacre took place in 1886 and the author of the story was an Italian historian .hmmmmmmmm. Given Ras Alula spanked the Italians many times, Do you really think the Italians will write any events related with alula from a lighter angle? I don't think so.

Advise. be informed, be critical and compare the the Hatew Qetewe of Zemhret Yohannes with different sources.
