Are you curious about how Addis Ababa looks today in the eyes of her founder? አንቺ ደግ ሀገር [ānichī degi hāgeri] loosely translated as “an innocent country” is a 5-min. monologue performed by @birhanubinyam It is an adaptation of a script by @comedian_eshetu Melese narrating the return of Emperor Menelik II (1844 – 1913) to current day Addis Ababa – to reflect on the city dwellers’ contemporary lifestyle.

@Regrann from @haileiyesus - KEEPING THEM HONEST.....The Italians fatally underestimated the Ethiopians, thinking that they were barbarians who needed Roman civilization. Bartieri returned to Eritrea boasting that he would bring Menelik back in a cage, not knowing Menelik had assembled 196,000 men in Addis Ababa. Over 50% of these were armed with modern rifles. General Bartieri could only muster 25,000 men and when he realized that he was outnumbered he retreated to Adigrat, where Menelik overwhelmed him for 45 days. The battle of Adwa not only saved Ethiopia from colonization by Rome, but also raised the status of an African country to an equal partner in the world community.

Tofa Desalegn’s video piece ‘Memories of Adwa’ was an all-rounded campaign reminding the current and future generations the importance of the Artist’s interpretation of Ethiopian identity. Tofa choreographed a dance inspired by the Adwa war integrating ballet and contemporary dance movements with superimposed pictures of fighters in war regalia.
