- Former President Thabo Mbeki was the keynote speaker at a session to celebrate 120 years of the battle of ADWA. This session was part of the Africa Unity for Renaissance Conference & Africa Day Expo on 25 May 2016.
The session took place at Ditsong Museum of South Africa in Tshwane.
He will addressed the session on “The 120 Years of the Adwa African Victory.” Led by Empress Taitu, the wife of Emperor Menelik II, and the Emperor’s generals, the patriotic Ethiopian army defeated the Italian colonial forces at Adwa, Ethiopia on 1 March 1896 and thus secured Ethiopia’s independence from colonial rule.
The victory at Adwa would later serve as an inspiration in the struggle against colonial rule to subsequent generations of Ethiopians and other Africans throughout the Continent. - Фільми й анімація
Adwa victory is black victory, it is not only Ethiopians history...it is African history.
Thank you Mr. Mbeki
How narrow minded you become, first you should learn who you are and what race your nation identified in the eye of the rest of the world…Adwa history written by Ethiopian blood but the symbol of that winning of the Adwa was beyond Ethiopia. Ethiopia is a part of Africa… The victory shows the decline of white colonialism in Africa particular in black African nations. Because of Adwa Ethiopia was not the only one saved, it goes out to the rest of Africa and raised the status of black African to an equal partner in the world. it thought the rest of black race that black race can win a white, As far as my concern unless you think you are something else other than black all black race should take pride for the accomplishment of my forefather heroism. The European thinks us a black not white or blue or any other race…
Ethiopian Assassin replied: "We are not black stop confining my history to a color you idiot!
why you took off your response my above response was directly to Ethiopian Assassin comment & quot;refer the comment", however when i get back to check the person delete his/her comment... now you don't like your comment
brother dont worry, we identify as black! and we will forever be black nation! its only those eritreas and egyptians trying to couse insteblity by making us look like outsiders, but we are black!
We Ethiopian believed that Adwa victory is all African victory and history
Thabo Mbeki is an African Intellectual giant. A jewel and a role model
Even most Africans don't know what the Battle of Adwa is....we have a lot of work to do in making it known.
Alemayehu Shanko I'm from merica I know
Alemayehu Shanko. Yes we do. Hopefully when I become a scholar I will make a film on it
I know the history of Battle of Adwa where Italy was defeated by Ethiopians in 1896 since my childhood. However, I heard from president Mbeki very important points that I never heard or learnt from history books. He had made a very good research on the history of Ethiopian leaders and the people for his speech. Indeed the Battle of Adwa is a fascinating history for all Africans. I am proud as Ethiopian in particular and as African in general.
It is informative and inspìring indeed
Mbek is a legend too, he fought against apartheid Respect
Adwa is African history not only Ethiopia.
It changed the mind and spirit of black people.
The king at the time said many times his dream was to free Africa from colonialism.
"He will not rest until Africa is free"
South Africa lost out on this gentleman…the man is deep
This is a comment sent to me by Enawgaw Mehari: President Mbeki said Adwa makes Africans victors ! He highlighted the importance of to know our own history and be proud of our culture and roots. He refuted in his speech the mentality that Africa is only a victim of slavery , colonialism etc and cited Adwa as African victory that Europeans were conquered . Unity is the key for success and it was with unity of all Ethiopians that defeated the Italians . Africa Unite !
It's true that United we can stand and divided we fall or lose. Let Africa unite
I like the issue of having been Victims of SLAVERY, COLONIALISM and APARTHEID, H. E. President Dr. Thabo Mbeki presentations are really eye opening. I will collect them and listen to them always to uplift my spirit. 😇👌🧠❤❤❤
if Africa had 10 Thabo Mbekis we would have been far.thank you ZiZi
Thanks, Mr. Mbeki, for your enlightenment! Africa needs more of your type. You're are a true intellectual leader that others can learn from.
Thabo Mbeki a class act!! You need to teach and mold the current African dictators!!
m proudly Ethiopian
Our great history must never perish, I hope the book is going to be written before his departure.
Wonderful. It’s so important for Africans to understand their history and realise for example that the Zulus only entered South Africa in about 1700.
Thank You Mr Mbeki. You have well address the topic
Thabo Mbeki is a cut above the rest;an intellectual par excellence!🙏
My dearest president what an inspiring presentation you are indeed an African no one can take that away from you you are a proud African son of the soil, uyingangalala Zizi
he is one of the few who has understood the white game and they removed him by tactic bringing a air headed like Zuma so black power does not become a strong intellectual society !! I wish we could word towards the book he mentioned so future generation can rise up in Africa with a strong will to dominate the continent ! South Africa one of the greatest country in the world being robbed for a century ! and many other African countries too ...President Mbeki hat off !
Especially when I hear the history of Adwa from president-Thabo-Mvuyelwa Mbeki! It empowered me to rethink the Future of Africa? Mother Africa has suffered to much! Civil WAR- Drought - Brutal Dictatorship! We the children of mother Africa! Have to Unite and overcome our challenges!
Incredible history of Africa and black people. Every part of Africa and around the world should be taught and educated about the victories of African people and descendants of Africa across the globe such as Haitian 🇭🇹 people.
Glory, glory to Emperor Minilik II of Ethiopia and patriots of Ethiopia 🇪🇹. Long live Ethiopia and Africa. May God bless AFRICA.
Thank you Thabo Mbeki !!!
A very good insight by former President Mbeki. We are honoured to have you spearhead the movement again.
I find this most enlightening. It might be a good idea to form some organisation to raise money to buy books that inform and liberate and inform African minds in such a way that what ever our differences our goal, for self determination for African Nations as well as dignity and respect for all people of African descend globally, remains the same.
THANK YOU VERY PRESIDENT THABO MVUYELWA MBEKI
"This is fantastic - we will teach that we are victors not victims. Last decade of the 18th century, last decade of the 19th century, last decade of the 20th century - Haiti, Ethiopia, South Africa." Tom Dalgety
Praise be to God.
Very profound! If we don't understand and appreciate our history we are in danger of repeating it one way or another.....
Another comment I received today worth all of you to read and take note of:"Thabo Mbeki has broken the ice like a modern Menelik. It is up to the rest of us to recognize his leadership and fight to claim our very own history" Dr.Abebe, Ethiopian Medical Doctor in USA now.
My hat off to you President Mbeki : Africa needs leader like you !!!! Long life - we Ethioopians are will work towards such a book to provide it to african kids! thank you again President Mbeki - that foolish idiot Zuma cannot come near to you
Thank you, Mr. President
Thabo Mbeki is an intellectual heavyweight; a class apart from our breed of African dictators.
Thank you, comrade for lifting our spirits!
the white removed him smartly so that the white privileges continue but Mbeki is a class act as you say! He should be leading SA a real intellect that white Gangs and media removed des-approving his so called AIDS policy but it was a fabricated thing! It is a shame TPLF tried to destroy King Menelik achievements and hopefully TPLF will be buried soon ! We could all work towards a big book in English for the African community!!! WORK URGENTLY ON MENELIK BIO AND ACHIEVEMENTS
This is a win to all underdogs regardless of color. Mad respect!
Proud Ethiopian and African
THIS A GREAT HISTORY TELLING REMINDING ME OF MY FRIEND JOE NTEPE FROM FREE STATE
It was quite a feat. I agree that Africans can do almost anything they put their mind on.
The research that the former president of South Africa Dr. Thabo Mbeki, a true African, who continues to inspire Africans across the world-did is simply remarkable. He did an excellent research on how the world press covered the 1896 Adwa decisive African victory. The way the world press covered the Adwa victory truly demonstrates Adwa was the most decisive battle for Africa. We Africans are blessed for having with us the great Thabo Mbeki with exceptional intellect who made the everlasting historic living and morally and intellectually glowing and radiant message I am an African. Aste Menelik succeeded to lead the Adwa battle for Africa just as in our time our exceptionally intellectually gifted Thabo Mbeki challenges us all Africans to be first and foremost to be, do, act and behave as Africans and make our African identity the highway to realise Africa's full agency so that Africa never fails or falls ever again..

Brilliant! Thank you Mr. President for telling it beautifully, indeed the battle of Adawa and its victory is an African victory! However, we didn’t capitalize on it instead we went back to tribalism and play victims. We miss leaders like you… just now we are blessed with a visionary leader in Ethiopia but the westerners are working hard to take him down mainly by their divide and rule strategy. Unlike our ancestors, we have many bandit that can easily bought by the westerners.
Oh please he's not a Visionary leader but a psychopath killer who destroys his own people and Country by inviting outside enemies And using drones may God save Ethiopia 🇪🇹 from 2 lunatic dictators abiy Ahmed and Esayas afwrki 🙏And abiy Ahmed is the worst evil 😈 and compulsive liar Ethiopia 🇪🇹 ever had...
Thank you so much 💓
Mr President, the great Son of Africa. Wisdom wisdom wisdom!!!. Sikhona Mbalo -Mthatha

Those who know about History they know what to celebrate! You are such a great man and thank you for respecting your history!
Adwa the victory of Africa
I really appreciate Mr Thabo Mbeki for recognition of my country 🙏
However, there's no work freedom in your country for Ethiopians. Hundreds of innocent Ethiopian children is dies everyday in South Africa because of xenophobia 💔 😢 😔
Well done sir.
BIG UP ABYSSINIA !
ViVA Ethiopia viva Africa
Baba Thabo Mbeki should be our African Head of State,he can bring all Africans together to make Africa great and a force to recogn in the world and then take its rightful place and that's at the top
With President Thabo Mbeki at the top Africa will take its rightful place in the world that's at the very top backed by the mineral wealth and the huge agricultural soils and excellent weather.
Ethiopia has no independence day, only VICTORY DAY. So should Africa!!
Great job Mr. President.
Thanks for the might Lord
Part of our shared history (South Africa and Ethiopia) is that South African troops liberated Addis Ababa in 1941, which also led to the abolishing of slavery in Ethiopia in August 1942. - the history books don't tell you this!
Jimbob Jones from who?
Yup, boer were liberating you, and now south africa persecute´s them.
Oh, my, where would they be without the heroic South Africans! Idiot.
You are lying to yourself. In that time south africa was running and controlling by white people. Black people in South Africa didn't have any power in the government
when we were led
when I told this mexican dude I was from ethiopia...he was like word!..yall kicked white ppl ass!!..lol
truth!!!!!
Insightful ,
The whole of Africa must celebrate this intelligent intellectual man;but stil wonder why ANC recol him they must be one group which was corrupt:but who made that decision
We are victors, reactionary victors. By this I mean we react to the moves of our foes. We need to change that up: turn the tables on our foes. Make them react to our moves.
Until then our victories will be few and far between.
The big question is always the HOW. I am working on this...
Wow !
Some Russian volonteers were supporting Ethiopian Empire in that battle
In this 1974 book, dimension lastime is translated as di-men-sa. Nowadays; it is spelled as di-men-si.

Come mai nessuno si ricorda il 6 ottobre 1935 ??
Go learn the difference between colonisation and occupation. Ethiopia only got occupied in 1936 for a short time. And italy hade to use chemical weapons to achieve that. Because Ethiopia was to strong for italy 🇪🇹
Yes Rastafari lives!!!!! Finally wake up the black lost sheep
The colonialist havent given up,the criminal NATO war on Libya in support of alqaeda rebels while all africa sat by and capitulated.The Americans have military bases in more than 35 African countries,they are setting up a $100 million Drone base in Agadez.
Africans should also know that Europeans did not tame elephants, but African empires and kingdoms all used elephants and rhinos in battles and this is not a history told or taught in schools in order to dominate and claim ownership over the animals in the national parks, even the oxalmite empire and Congo Empires used war elephants as well as the history of Shaka Lulu using elephants in the bull horns formation which was not just a formation of soldiers but mounted bull elephants
Now they are on genocide the very people who fought colonialism the Amahara people and no one is helping !!!!!
I came to learn about the battle of Adwa but all the talking and showing of photos went on and on. I wasted my time, I came here to learn about Adwa not the history and thoughts of Africa and Africans. I will seek another video that deals with the battle of Adwa.
How? In 45 min I learnt a great history of an African victory
Ushindi wa Africa
One day we will wake up and understand that the sell out is Thabo Mbeki.
Point of correction Mr. Thabo Mbeki, symbol and substance both matter. You must proactively dismantle both the symbols and substances relics etc., of slavery, colonialism, apartheid, and neocolonialism. These symbols and substances of wrongs cannot be perpetuated into perpetuity. The object is to incrementally decrease decrease decrease until they are totally expunged in our memory and our lives. They become forgotten history in the archives. That is the best strategy Sir. To that extent, I respectfully disagree with you. Slavery, colonialism brutally sacked African culture and traditions. Reinstating Africa demands removing all of those structures.
Ethiopia's claim of being the only country (or one of two) in Africa to never be colonized came at the expense of Eritrea's sovereignty and independence. In 1889, the Italians signed the Treaty of Wuchale with then Ethiopian king Menelik II who essentially granted Eritrea to Italy in exchange for recognition of Ethiopian sovereignty. Italy also promised Menelik II financial assistance and military supplies.
Eventually, Ethiopia did defeat Italy in the battle of Adwa (approx. 100,000 Ethiopians vs 20,000 Italians) and afterwards Menelik signed an agreement recognizing Eritrea as a sovereign state of Italy. Basically, Eritrea was used as a political tool to gain leverage with the Italian colonialist when it was convenient for Ethiopia's survival.
This should explain the Derg's barbaric regime, Woyane's betrayal and the common attitude of entitlement towards Eritrea.
Why did you Eritreans let yourselves be bartered with? Too weak?

You sound like Kanye West, when he said slavery was a choice. What's next? Are you going to walk up to South Africans and ask them why they tolerated apartheid? Walk up to the Congolese and ask them why they allowed Leopold II to do what he did? We can all look back and scoff at people in the past and label them as weak after all the pain and suffering they've had to endure. I'm sure if you were around back then there wouldn't have been any atrocities committed on plant earth. You're a very arrogant human being.
Adwa the victory of Africa
Thank you Baba/Thata for leading us on our way to permanent victory in anything we lay our mind on.
