conclusion
]Finally, I consider it necessary to summerize my impressions of Abyssinia and, on the basis of these impression and observations, to draw some conclusions about this country in the form of answers to questions which commonly interest us Russians:
1.) Are the Abyssinians savages ? I think that having become acquainted, just in my short overview, with their faith , morals, customs and gevernmental structure, no one shluld have the slightest doubt that the Absyinians ar an ald cultured rrace, althohugh considerebly backward today , compared to Europe , as a result of historical causes. They are surrounded by savages.

There has been much discussion among scholars about the correct interpretation of the designation of this queen in the Arabic text. Conti Rossini, reading Bani al-Damuta for al-Hamuya, has suggested that she was a ruler of the once powerful old kingdom of Damot, lying at this date south of the Abbay, and that her rebellion represented an attempt by one of the indigenous Sidama peoples of southern Ethiopia to reassert their independence and resist domination or absorption by the Semiticized and Christian north. This plausible hypothesis has received widespread support form modern scholars, many of whom envisage the warrior-queen as ruler of a Sidama kingdom, differing only in the possible locations they suggest as the seat of her kingdom.

Much of the Propagandist writing of our time amounts to plain forgery. Material facts are suppressed, dates altered , qutations removed from their context and doctored so as to change their meaning.

One source says that the name Yodit means "very beautiful." Desta Tekle-Weld points out that Yodit is short for Yihudi't, "the Jewess," and the name may thus have been given her as an epithet or sobriquet— and then we do not know her real name,— but it might confirm that she came from one of the Judaized groups, e.g., the Felasha; however, we cannot be sure of that as the name may have been invented for her later, perhaps to "justify" persecutions of the Felasha for example during the reign of Zer'a Ya'qob (1434-1468); consequently we cannot be sure that she was a Felasha or came from the north at all— she might have come from Damot or one of the recently invaded regions further south (Ethiopians had reached the Awash and Omo valleys in the ninth and tenth centuries). However, the uniform tradition that she was "Jewish" should not be easily rejected (if she is a historical figure at all, which is likely). Tekle-Sadiq Mekuriya mentions the tradition that she was first called Aster, "Esther" (a name not used after she destroyed Debre-Damo), and that she married a Christian ruler (probably of part of Lasta) called Zer'a Ya'qob who did not know that she was "Jewish" but who later converted to her religion and was then given the name Selomon by Yodit. _________________ “Meles Zenawi's passion was in abolishing poverty"Former Prime Minister of United Kingdom Gordon Brown

In the last years of the nineteenth century and the first decade of this century, the Shoan Emperor Menelik II incorporated the lands and peoples of the south, east, and west into an empire which became the modern state of Ethiopia. Much of the conquered land was given to court and church officials, soldiers, and settlers from the north who were encouraged to migrate to the region. Unlike the north, southern lands were fertile, suitable for valuable export crops like coffee, and the indigenous population could be dispossessed. The Abyssinian nobility, especially the Shoan branch which dominated the imperial state, were the main beneficiaries of the expansion.

The Sidama people had never accepted the conquest of King Minelik II since the early 1890s peacefully. Several initial attempts by the invading army were repulsed by the Sidama heroes and heroines. Leulesged and Beshah Aboye, the two famous war leaders of the said King, met formidable resistance from the Sidama people. The first wave of Menellik's invading army was fully defeated by the gallant Sidama warriors led by their (Mottes) kings and Gaadana (war leaders). However, the second wave of invaders came up with superior and the then modern weaponry provided to them by their European colonial counterparts to consolidate their grip onto the Sidamaland and its resources to tame the nation for eternal subjugation. Several atrocities were committed by the invading army during pre and post WWII periods as to avenge those armed resistance movements. Some villages were totally wiped out with their entire population amounting to genocide. _________________ “Meles Zenawi's passion was in abolishing poverty"Former Prime Minister of United Kingdom Gordon Brown
