Excerpt:
The Abyssinian social practice makes it impossible for a king, a dynasty, and a royalty to truly exist. In fact, the expression "Abyssinian kingdom", referring to practices attested after the fall the Kushitic Agaw political power, is the world´s most obnoxious joke.
Not a single noble man, king or emperor has ever existed in the coarse and incestuous Abyssinian society. From Yekuno Amlak (the lewd, filthy, barefoot murderer of the last Agaw Chritian king Yetbarak) to Haile Selassie there has never been any emperor, any king, and – more critically – any nobleman in Abyssinia.
The entire history of post-Agaw Abyssinia is a succession of uncivilized gangsters of incestuous origin, who were peremptorily called ´noble men´, ´kings´ or ´emperors´; they were imposed as such to all the peoples and nations that, with Anglo-French permission and support, the Abyssinians invaded and subjugated.
Of course, all the subjugated nations preserved their noble character and rejected the Amhara fallacy, fornication and barbarism. The memory of their noble past is still alive among them. They remember that as late as the mid 19th century, the Hadiya King rejected to meet the filthy trash that impersonated the Abyssinian "king". Fornication, incest and prostitution are totally out of nobility and royalty.
This is something the Abyssinians will never understand.
It is essential now to explain why there cannot be any ´noble men´, ´kings´ or ´emperors´ among the Abyssinians.
Due to the absolute lack of family in the Amhara society, as I already exposed in an earlier article (see below), there is no chance for a noblesse to come to existence.

Excerpt:
Continuing the series of articles on the insightful documentation provided by the Russian Military Officer, Explorer, and Orthodox Monk in his books about his deeds and excursions, observations and explorations in Abyssinia (undertaken over three years 1896 – 1899), I herewith republish the chapter on the Abyssinian army; this part of Bulatovich´s text is also very critical because it highlights (below in the section: ´Conduct of War´) the inhuman practices of environmental disaster spread by the criminal robbers and inhuman soldiers of the Abyssinian state, which supported by England and France, perpetrated the worst atrocities ever attested on African soil and the world´s most appalling and multifaceted genocide.
This chapter testifies to the monstrous and inhuman character and nature of the genocidal Abyssinian state; taking into consideration that the text was not written by an objective academic and an impartial political philosopher but by the last tsar's envoy, who had also the task to damage the Abyssinian - English relations and increase Russia's influence in the area whereby the tiny Abyssinian state was allowed by France and England to expand criminally and colonially, one can realize through the lines of the text the extent of the inhumanity and the evil deeds perpetrated by the monsters of Abyssinia over the invaded lands. I will republish further parts of Bulatovich's book in forthcoming articles, but herewith I make first available a recapitulation of the earlier articles of the series.
All the Oromos, Ogadenis, Afars, Sidamas and others, who fight for their independence, and all the neighboring countries, Somalia, Eritrea, Sudan and Egypt, which are threatened because of the evil, eschatological dreams of Greater Ethiopia, must study, understand and diffuse the insightful documentation available in this book, which was published by the Russian explorer before 110 years; in and by itself it constitutes good reason for the world to be preoccupied with the source of every regional trouble and instability: the Amhara and Tigray (Tewahedo) Monophysitic Abyssinians who rule tyrannically over the lands they invaded and the nations they subjugated.

Continuing the series of articles on the insightful documentation provided by the Russian Military Officer, Explorer, and Orthodox Monk in his books about his deeds and excursions, observations and explorations in Abyssinia (undertaken over three years 1896 – 1899), I herewith republish excerpts from a remarkable and insightful treatise elaborated by the Russian Jewish Communist Historian and Philologist Isidor Saavich Katsnelson.
Katsnelson was a leading Egyptologist and Africanist who also contributed to the then nascent Meroitic Studies, the academic research about the last period of pre-Christian History of Ethiopia, i.e. Sudan, when Meroe (today´s Bagrawiyah, nearby Ad-Damer and Atbarah in Sudan).
Katznelson´s contributions hit the final nail on the coffin of the fallacious use of the great historical name of Ethiopia by the barbarous Abyssinian tribes who proved to be the worst pestilence in Africa´s History of Tyranny, Persecution, Racism, False Eschatology, Anti-human Conspiracy, and Genocide.
Katsnelson was greatly interested in the personal history and explorations, spiritual and metaphysical search, travels and pursuits of Bulatovich; much of what we know now of Bulatovish is due to Katznelson. The selection of Bulatovich´s excerpts translated from Russian to English was made by the translator of Bulatovich´s two books, Richard Seltzer. Herewith, I reproduce it integrally.
Katznelson´s analysis, like Bulatovich´s book, demonstrates how erroneous the Russian and Soviet East African policy has always been and how it worked at the detriment of Russia (or Soviet Union) itself.

Continuing the series of articles on the insightful documentation provided by the Russian Military Officer, Explorer, and Orthodox Monk in his books about his deeds and excursions, observations and explorations in Abyssinia (undertaken over three years 1896 – 1899), I herewith republish a second part from his second book titled "With the Armies of Menelik II"; the part covers "Jimma".
This excerpt offers a paradisiacal picture of the Oromo Kingdom of Jimma, and a magnificent portrait of the sublime mystic, the Oromo Moti (King) Aba Jefar. In striking contrast with all other words and sentences of his own text, Bulatovich insists on calling the noble king "half-savage". This shows the extent and the depth of the European colonial evilness, Anti-African prejudice and zero-degree tolerance for any non-Christian. Without knowing it, Bulatovich proves that European colonialism was the World History's most terrorist, most antihuman, and most iniquitous political deed.

Excerpt:
From a confidential letter sent by B. Chermerzin, charge d' affaires of the Russian Embassy in Abyssinia to A. A. Neratov, Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, on December 15, 1911, we get an insightful about Bulatovich´s later travel to Abyssinia whereby he had the ambition to establish a monastic order.
Despite the fact that the Russian Orthodox explorer, military officer and monk was accepted by the Abyssinian gangster and ruler Sahle Mariam (pseudo-royal nickname: Menelik) to heal him through use of Russian holy icons, the hidden conclave of the Amhara heretic, pseudo-Christian Satanists who rule the cursed country of tyranny and genocide, prevented Bulatovich from achieving his pious target, thus clearly demonstrating their alliance with the Anglo-French freemasons and their hatred of Christianity.
What was possible for a Russian monk to undertake in Romania, Albania, Greece, Palestine, and Egypt was absolutely out of the question in the pseudo-Christian state of Abyssinia.
The important document serves therefore as perfect refutation of the fallacy that Abyssinia (fallaciously and unlawfully re-baptized as Ethiopia) is a "Christian" country. The Amhara and Tigray Tewahedo (Monophysitic) Abyssinians are not Christian; under the coverage of a simulacrum of Christian heretic faith, an enormous number of anti-Christian traits and a deep-seated hatred of Egyptian Coptic Christianity, Russian Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism are the determinant factors of the incestuous Amhara society whereby fornication is overwhelming and the family concept does not exist.

Continuing the series of articles on the insightful documentation provided by the Russian Military Officer, Explorer, and Orthodox Monk in his books about his deeds and excursions, observations and explorations in Abyssinia (undertaken over three years 1896 – 1899), I herewith republish another part from his second book titled "With the Armies of Menelik II", namely the Preface and the Introduction.
Beyond the various mistakes of Abyssinian History that are due to Amhara falsehood presented to Bulatovich disguised as "historical truth", this section offers an exemplary warning to present day governments of Sudan and Egypt. When Bulatovich considered options about possible expeditions to undertake in Abyssinia, one possibility was thought to be in Benishangul. On this occasion, the tsarist envoy marks the related geo-strategic target of the barbarous and heinous state of Abyssinia. Astounded we realize that the target remains the same either in 1897 or in 2010: the Nile.
This demonstrates that any cooperation between Sudan, Egypt and Abyssinia (Fake Ethiopia) is futile, and that consequently, Khartoum and Cairo must systematically program and execute the destruction and the demise of the anti-African racist state of Abyssinia (Fake Ethiopia), which secretively and with the support of the Anglo-French Freemasonry executes a vicious plan against the existence of Egypt, Sudan, and African Islam. I herewith highlight the aforementioned excerpt:
"Three main expeditions were proposed:
1) Ras Makonnen10, the governor-general of Harar and Somaliland, was supposed to move west with a thirty-thousand-man detachment and conquer the gold-region of Beni Shangul, and reach, if possible, the banks of the Nile."

As Bulatovich´s narratives about various indigenous nations and tribes were not due to first hand information but Amhara filters of translation and misinterpretation, every part of the text that pertains to analysis should be dealt with extreme caution. The itinerary part is however impressive.

Excerpt:
Continuing the series of articles on the insightful documentation provided by the Russian Military Officer, Explorer, and Orthodox Monk in his books about his deeds and excursions, observations and explorations in Abyssinia (undertaken over three years 1896 – 1899), I herewith republish a fourth part from his second book titled "With the Armies of Menelik II". This excerpt offers an in-depth presentation of Andrachi, the Kaffa capital, and a narration of Bulatovich´s sojourn there (January 8-22).
Despite many inaccuracies pertaining to the Sidamas and the Kaffas, this chapter reveals the barbarous nature of the criminal Amhara armies, their bellicose attitude, and their cruel behavior. This is revealed in the following excerpt that describes a scene of entertainment after a dinner:
"Having dined and drunk their portion of mead, they sat around the campfire and struck up songs. For the most part, these were military improvisations, and their contents amounted to praise of themselves and of their master. Liban sang in his clear, beautiful voice, and the chorus joined in the monotonous refrain, "Gedau! Berekhanyau!" ("Killer, killer, tramp of the desert!"). One of the ashkers, in a form of accompaniment, beat in time with his palms on an empty water tin. Women's voices joined in the chorus".
One has indeed to be as barbarous as an Amhara to praise (instead of denouncing and ridiculing) a "killer" and a "tramp of the desert".
Such barbarism has never been attested anytime anywhere, even among the Nazi soldiers of Hitler´s Germany.
If the "killer" is to be praised collectively by the armed representatives of a society, one can quasi-automatically understand that this society is a barbarous entity that has to be isolated, deprived of any control over other nations, and put under international mandate in order to be re-educated and re-organized from scratch – with forceful imposition of civil and civilized nations´ manners and customs.

Journal of an expedition from Ethiopia to Lake Rudolf
By Alexander K. Bulatovich

VII. From Kolu to Lake Rudolf
March 4.
At 5:30 in the morning, the select detachment of 5,664 men under the command of Ras Wolda Giyorgis left the fortress at Kolu. I accompanied him.
Since we were travelling light, I only took 11 ashkers and several pack mules. Of course, Zelepukin came with me.
Before I set out, the sick and wounded who were staying in Kolu asked me to give them medicine in reserve. A heavily wounded man, with a puncture through his chest was desperate, saying that now he would be helpless and most likely he would die...
Finally, we got started.
All four interpreters were led in front of the Ras. The old man, Muruta Babus, rode, wearing the red cloak he had been given. His legs, which were too long, dangled helplessly since he could not rest them in the short stirrups. Jufa boldly ran ahead and led the detachment. Along a steep slope strewn with rocks, we went down to the Kori River and headed west, following its course. At four o'clock in the afternoon, after a ten-hour march without a break, we reached the inhabited and cultivated territory of Lessi and set up camp here. The natives ran away when we got close. Nonetheless, soldiers succeeded in capturing several women who were from the same tribe as Jufa and who were just as ugly as those we took prisoner in the land of Balis.

Which are the major historical-cultural foundations on which the future Afghani education should be based?
Ten major topics of historical evolution and cultural achievement are to be present in this regard. Even if only one is missing, the result is going to be an unbalanced or minimized perception of the dimensions of the Afghanistan’s contribution to the History of the Mankind. In the past, several of these pillars were present, but undermined, other pillars were totally absent, and finally one pillar was excessively over-accentuated and misleadingly presented. In the rest of the present article, the Ten Pillars are briefly specified; at the same time, special consideration is given to the way they should be presented through the 12-year obligatory Education that the current Afghani government has to promulgate.
Every cultural – historical unity must be present at all levels: History, Literature, Language, Art History, History of the Religion, Philosophy, including also Sciences, i.e. Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Cosmology.

Turkey and China: an Alliance to Conquer the World – Part III
There are no prosperous countries, successful states and victorious armies, but forceful societies; this means creative, expanding cultures and triumphant faiths. In Modern Times and among the developed countries, cultures have been mostly supplanted by state-controlled education, which is geared in order to apply preconceived ideas and fabricated dogmas on a degraded society with abandoned moral values, mutating cultures, highly politicized faith, and therefore ailing structures. When a religion is turned to mere political ideology, the faith is dead and the culture is putrefied. The society that lives this tragedy is a passive corpse unable for action, let alone continuity or survival. Then, the nation in question has gradually become a tool for the materialization of the political targets of secluded elites that have full consciousness of their criminality.

The Philosophical Demotion of the Sacred Feminine Form in Classical Art Atyeb Atum RE
This presentation is an exploration of how the Greek classical arts and its mythology appropriated the feminine intuitive abilities from the sacred universal Mother Goddess and her daughters, both in the heavens and here on Earth. It charts how the patriarchal system became an institution that still plagues Humanity today with its Male Dominated ideologies adopted from many Greek philosophers and how they viewed women.
Medieval romances are stories of adventure in which the chief parts are played by knights, famous kings, or distressed ladies, acting most often under the impulse of love, religious faith, or, in many, mere desire for adventure. The stories were first told in verse, but when, later, prose versions were made, they were also called romances. In length the verse romances vary from a few hundred lines to tens of thousands. . .”

They represent some of Bulatovich´s most critical paragraphs because they reveal the abysmal reality of the Abyssinian society, namely all that has been scrupulously hidden by the Abyssinians and their allies, the Freemasonic, colonial regimes of Paris, London and Washington.
It is a lie that the Amhara Tewahedo (Monophysitic) Abyssinians are Christians; in fact, they constitute a desecrated society rejected by all Christian believers, because they practice a generalized fornication which is incompatible with the Christian creed, faith and principles.
With no family, there is no Christian society.
All the Oromos, Ogadenis, Afars, Sidamas and others, who fight for their independence, and all the neighboring countries, Somalia, Eritrea, Sudan and Egypt, which are threatened because of the evil, Satanic eschatological dreams of Greater Ethiopia, must diffuse these great text, which was published by the Russian explorer before 110 years, to the four corners of the universe.
The true barbarous identity of the Amharas is revealed in the chapter on the Abyssinian family that Bulatovich found it necessary to elaborate and submit to the top Russian imperial authorities.
In fact, there is no family in the Amhara society whereby an extensive fornication has been imposed by the pseudo-Christian monks. This filthy and barbaric practice makes of the Amhara society the outcast of the Mankind and the embodiment of the savages.
It is only for the needs of the Anti-Islamic plot of the Anglo-French Freemasonry and the Zionist movement that the Abyssinians are widely but erroneously considered as Christians.

Excerpt:
Although he tried to stay close to the facts, Bulatovich was overwhelmed by his own dream of an Orthodox alliance against the Anglo-French penetration in the wider area of Dar al Islam, the Islamic region. But his dreams could not outmaneuver the systematic diplomatic – military – economic – academic efforts of the Anglo-French Freemasonry that had taken place for almost 100 years before Bulaovich´s arrival in Abyssinia (French invasion of Egypt under Napoleon in 1798). In Abyssinia itself, Bulatovich arrived very late; he certainly advanced up to different points where no other European had set foot, but his diplomatic effort was deployed more than 125 years after the notorious James Bruce´s travel.
Worse, Bulatovich failed to realize that the deeply Anti-Christian nature of Abyssinia was the greatest obstacle in his path to promote an exclusive, Christian Orthodox alliance between Russia and Abyssinia. The incestuous character of the Amhara society, so explicitly narrated by Bulatovich, irrevocably placed Africa´s monstrous and alien state closer to the Anglo-French Freemasonic fornication than to the Orthodox Church.
Had he truly focused on the subject, Bulatovich would have realized that his best allies would be the Copts and the Muslims of Egypt. In fact, Bulatovich failure to take facts at face value has cost Russia as much as the case of the Armenians who, although neighboring with Russia and partly belonging to St Petersburg´s authority, were more effectively manipulated by Paris and London during WW I – to their terrible prejudice of course.

Excerpt:
Continuing the series of articles on the insightful documentation provided by the Russian Military Officer, Explorer, and Orthodox Monk in his books about his deeds and excursions, observations and explorations in Abyssinia (undertaken over three years 1896 – 1899), I herewith republish a sixth part from his second book titled "With the Armies of Menelik II"; this excerpt offers an in-depth presentation of the itinerary between the borders of Abyssinia to the Lake Rudolf. As Bulatovich´s narratives about various indigenous nations and tribes were not due to first hand information but Amhara filters of translation and misinterpretation, every part of the text that pertains to analysis should be dealt with extreme caution. The itinerary part is however impressive.
In several forthcoming articles, I will publish all the other parts of Bulatovich´s second book, and in addition, I will extensively comment on parts of his first book (notably History, Religion, Conclusion). Herewith, I make first available a recapitulation of the earlier twenty four (24) articles of this series, and then republish the excursion narrative.
All the Oromos, Ogadenis, Afars, Sidamas and others, who fight for their independence, and all the neighboring countries, not only Egypt and Sudan but also Somalia and Eritrea, which are threatened because of the evil, eschatological dreams of Greater Ethiopia, must study, understand and diffuse the insightful documentation available in the two books, which were published by the Russian explorer before 110 years; in and by itself, this documentation constitutes good reason for the world to be preoccupied with the source of every regional trouble and instability: the Amhara and Tigray (Tewahedo) Monophysitic Abyssinians who rule tyrannically over the lands they invaded and the nations they subjugated.

Continuing the series of articles on the insightful documentation provided by the Russian Military Officer, Explorer, and Orthodox Monk in his books about his deeds and excursions, observations and explorations in Abyssinia (undertaken over three years 1896 – 1899), I herewith republish a fourth part from his second book titled "With the Armies of Menelik II". This excerpt offers an in-depth presentation of Andrachi, the Kaffa capital, and a narration of Bulatovich´s sojourn there (January 8-22).
Despite many inaccuracies pertaining to the Sidamas and the Kaffas, this chapter reveals the barbarous nature of the criminal Amhara armies, their bellicose attitude, and their cruel behavior. This is revealed in the following excerpt that describes a scene of entertainment after a dinner:
"Having dined and drunk their portion of mead, they sat around the campfire and struck up songs. For the most part, these were military improvisations, and their contents amounted to praise of themselves and of their master. Liban sang in his clear, beautiful voice, and the chorus joined in the monotonous refrain, "Gedau! Berekhanyau!" ("Killer, killer, tramp of the desert!"). One of the ashkers, in a form of accompaniment, beat in time with his palms on an empty water tin. Women's voices joined in the chorus".
One has indeed to be as barbarous as an Amhara to praise (instead of denouncing and ridiculing) a "killer" and a "tramp of the desert".
Such barbarism has never been attested anytime anywhere, even among the Nazi soldiers of Hitler´s Germany.
If the "killer" is to be praised collectively by the armed representatives of a society, one can quasi-automatically understand that this society is a barbarous entity that has to be isolated, deprived of any control over other nations, and put under international mandate in order to be re-educated and re-organized from scratch – with forceful imposition of civil and civilized nations´ manners and customs.

VII. From Kolu to Lake Rudolf
March 4.
At 5:30 in the morning, the select detachment of 5,664 men under the command of Ras Wolda Giyorgis left the fortress at Kolu. I accompanied him.
Since we were travelling light, I only took 11 ashkers and several pack mules. Of course, Zelepukin came with me.
Before I set out, the sick and wounded who were staying in Kolu asked me to give them medicine in reserve. A heavily wounded man, with a puncture through his chest was desperate, saying that now he would be helpless and most likely he would die...
Finally, we got started.
All four interpreters were led in front of the Ras. The old man, Muruta Babus, rode, wearing the red cloak he had been given. His legs, which were too long, dangled helplessly since he could not rest them in the short stirrups. Jufa boldly ran ahead and led the detachment. Along a steep slope strewn with rocks, we went down to the Kori River and headed west, following its course. At four o'clock in the afternoon, after a ten-hour march without a break, we reached the inhabited and cultivated territory of Lessi and set up camp here. The natives ran away when we got close. Nonetheless, soldiers succeeded in capturing several women who were from the same tribe as Jufa and who were just as ugly as those we took prisoner in the land of Balis.

Which are the major historical-cultural foundations on which the future Afghani education should be based?
Ten major topics of historical evolution and cultural achievement are to be present in this regard. Even if only one is missing, the result is going to be an unbalanced or minimized perception of the dimensions of the Afghanistan’s contribution to the History of the Mankind. In the past, several of these pillars were present, but undermined, other pillars were totally absent, and finally one pillar was excessively over-accentuated and misleadingly presented. In the rest of the present article, the Ten Pillars are briefly specified; at the same time, special consideration is given to the way they should be presented through the 12-year obligatory Education that the current Afghani government has to promulgate.
Every cultural – historical unity must be present at all levels: History, Literature, Language, Art History, History of the Religion, Philosophy, including also Sciences, i.e. Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Cosmology.

Turkey and China: an Alliance to Conquer the World – Part III
There are no prosperous countries, successful states and victorious armies, but forceful societies; this means creative, expanding cultures and triumphant faiths. In Modern Times and among the developed countries, cultures have been mostly supplanted by state-controlled education, which is geared in order to apply preconceived ideas and fabricated dogmas on a degraded society with abandoned moral values, mutating cultures, highly politicized faith, and therefore ailing structures. When a religion is turned to mere political ideology, the faith is dead and the culture is putrefied. The society that lives this tragedy is a passive corpse unable for action, let alone continuity or survival. Then, the nation in question has gradually become a tool for the materialization of the political targets of secluded elites that have full consciousness of their criminality.

The Philosophical Demotion of the Sacred Feminine Form in Classical Art Atyeb Atum RE
This presentation is an exploration of how the Greek classical arts and its mythology appropriated the feminine intuitive abilities from the sacred universal Mother Goddess and her daughters, both in the heavens and here on Earth. It charts how the patriarchal system became an institution that still plagues Humanity today with its Male Dominated ideologies adopted from many Greek philosophers and how they viewed women.
Medieval romances are stories of adventure in which the chief parts are played by knights, famous kings, or distressed ladies, acting most often under the impulse of love, religious faith, or, in many, mere desire for adventure. The stories were first told in verse, but when, later, prose versions were made, they were also called romances. In length the verse romances vary from a few hundred lines to tens of thousands. . .”

Excerpt:
In the present article I do not intend to undertake a comprehensive presentation about this subject that hinges on the interaction of multiple fallacies and systematized falsification.
Primarily, there is no Biblical reference to the state that today is fallaciously and mendaciously named ´Ethiopia´; similarly, the Bible does not mention anything about the Axumite Abyssinians, the ancestors of today´s Amhara and Tigray who tyrannically rule Abyssinia (fake Ethiopia) and therein imprisoned subjugated nations.
All Biblical references to Kush (Ethiopia) concern Ancient Sudan, and the people who have been related with Napata and Meroe, the two capitals of the Ancient and true, Ethiopia. Descendants of these people are today the Arabic-speaking Sudanese, and the Kushitic nations that have been subjugated by the Abyssinains, namely the Oromos, the Sidamas, the Hadiyas, the Kaffas and the Kambatas.
Secondly, there has never been any connection of the Biblical and Quranic Yemenite Queen of Sheba with any African territory, let alone Axum whereby excavations have been highly propagandized as revealing connections that are hypothetical, preposterous, and – worse – premeditated.
Thirdly, there is no proof and no evidence that the historical kings of Pre-Christian and Christian Axum had any connection with the Ancient Hebrews and, after the elimination of the Ancient Israelites (10 tribes), the Judeans (2 tribes). The material record offers substantive proof that there is no chance that any Axumite king ever pretended to be descendant of Solomon or any Hebrew royal family.
Fourthly, there is no proof and no evidence that the Christian kings of the Agaw nation considered themselves as descendants of either the Axumite Abyssinian kings or Solomon and any other Hebrew royal family.
Fifthly, the monstrous falsification of the Ancient History of the Orient by the mentally defective author of Kebra Negast, involving the fallacious fabrication of otherwise inexistent mythical "persons" (such as Ethiopis), is a late literary product impossible to be substantiated by any earlier textual, epigraphic or archeological evidence. Any claims, assumptions and efforts of contextualization therein included with respect to earlier historical developments are totally invalid, if not corroborated by earlier developments. It is essential therefore to conclude that Kebra Negast does not confirm the existence of a Solomonic dynastical line up to the moment when that text was written; it merely hypothesizes it in a derisory manner.
There has never been any post-Agaw Abyssinian ´Kingdom´.

Excerpt:
In the present article, I republish three chapters dealing with Oromo national identity, religion and language. All the preconceived concepts of the colonial era herewith present, thus leading Bulatovich to erroneous interpretations. Certainly, the Russian explorer was not a linguist, historian or historian of religions, and more importantly, academic exploration was not the primary interest of his travel which was kind of diplomatic reconnaissance. In fact, Bulatovich viewed the Oromos, the Sidamas, the Kaffas, the Amharas and the other nations that he encountered in his travel as the outcome of an interaction occurred at his lifetime with no past! Attempting to explain the origins and the nature of Oromo festivals like that of Borenticha, he never imagined that the closest possible parallel could be that of the Khonsu festival in Ancient Egypt, which took place in May and had genuinely apotropaic character.
However, the chapter on the Oromo national character is greatly interesting because it demolishes the Ethiopianist myth of a supposed Ethiopian nation. There isn´t and there can´t be any Ethiopian nation other the one identified by the Ancient Greeks and Romans as located south of Egypt, which means the Ancient Kushites and Meroites of Sudan, who are the ancestors of today´s brotherly nations, the Oromos, the Sidamas and the Arabic-speaking Sudanese.
By describing the traits of the Oromos and by clearly indicating that they are diametrically opposed to those of the Amharas (discussed in another chapter of his book that I will republish in a forthcoming article), Bulatoovich destroys the myth of possible Oromo – Amhara connection and/or affinity.

Demand the immediate removal of the African Union headquarters from the cenotaph of Addis Ababa, and utterly request that no tyranny be ever a place for African leaders to meet and deliberate!
Postulate that Africans should give priority to human rights, democracy and freedom over political realism, governmental prerequisites and amoral choices!
Explain that by virtue of their valuable and painful historical experience Africans should definitely and unquestionably castigate all acts of political dictatorship, ethnic racism, cultural discrimination, usurpation of ethnic names, and renaming of places and cities following invasions.
Leave therefore your name to the posterity as that of a Great African who had the courage to say:

This article belongs to a long series of articles that I published in July and August 2010 about the Imperial Russian envoy to Abyssinia Alexander Bulatovich's book "With the Armies of Menelik II" (1900), based on the English translation by Richard Seltzer.
In each article of the series, after an introduction, I republished a substantive part of Bulatovich's book that serves as historical testimony to the criminal Abyssinian invasions of the African kingdoms of the Oromos, the Kaffas, the Sidamas, the Hadiyas and other ancient Cushitic nations in the last decades of the 19th c. Those invasions were fully supported by the English and French allies of the Abyssinian colonial gangsters and resulted in the Modern History's first and worst genocide that the inhuman and evil establishments of London and Paris did their best to hide for over a century.
Over the next few weeks, I will republish the entire series of articles of which the first was published on 27th July 2010 and the last on 18th August 2010.
The famous French academician Jean Baptiste Duroselle was commissioned by the Commission of the European Union (European Communities at the time) and Jacques Delors personally to author a European History of Europe, which would justify the establishment of the European Union in the 2nd half of the 20th c. as the crown of all earlier efforts to establish one state across the continent. The book was written in French (L'Europe: histoire de ses peuples, Paris, Perrin, 1990, 708 p.) and it was geared to become (as it really did) the basic textbook of European History for the secondary education of all EU member states. For this reason, numerous translations were produced at the local level, and the book became in this manner the cornerstone of the European identity; as regards countries that were not member-states in 1990 but became later, the book was translated to the official language(s) of each country after its adhesion.
As one could anticipate, the chauvinist, racist, and bogus-European state of Greece made the exception.

Excerpt:
To better understand the situation, one has to examine combined data as regards the various nations and the religious groups of Abyssinia. The ruling Abyssinian tribes are mainly the Amhara and the Tigray, who amount to ca. 30% of the entire population. The rest (70% of the country´s entire population) are either Cushitic (Oromos, Ogadenis, Sidamas, Afars, Kaffas, Kambatas, Hadiya, Agaw, and Shekachos) or Nilo-Saharan (Anuak).
It would however be erroneous to consider the aforementioned figures without further analysis; the oppressed Cushitic and Nilo-Saharan nations follow different religions, either traditional African religions or Islam and Christianity (the latter preached mainly through Western, Catholic and Protestant missionaries). The Abyssinian Amharas and Tigrays are either Monophysitic (heretic Christians) or Muslims. Muslims make ca. 40% of the Abyssinians. Viewed by the Monophysitic Abyssinian elite and people as historical enemies and as renegades, they have been terribly oppressed, perhaps more than the Cushitic nations.
We can thus draw the conclusion that the Monophysitic Abyssinians represent approximately 18% of the country´s total population, and rule invariably discriminating and tyrannizing the Abyssinian Muslims and all the subjugated Cushitic and Nilo-Saharan nations. If we compare this figure to those given for other cases of despotic regimes, notably Milosevic´s Yugoslavia and Saddam Hussein´s Iraq, we realize that nothing was more unrepresentative and more totalitarian, more discriminatory and more tyrannical than the colonial state of ´Ethiopia´.
The Western World hates Egypt terribly; that's why all the administrations of the country -pseudo-royal (khedivial), presidential (military) or Islamist (republican)- were always appointed after French, English and/or American decision or active involvement and with Western support only to function as local ignorant servants definitely unable to fathom the deeply self-destructive nature of the acts that their foreign masters force them to implement, and absolutely unsuspicious of the venomous hatred that their beastly superiors harbor against the Holy Land that is the Valley of the Nile down to Khartoum.

The rise of China as a world superpower has hitherto been a long path marked with several successes and advances, but also significant drawbacks and failures. The Arab Spring can be seen from many viewpoints and interpreted as per its impact on diverse states, but it was indisputably a severe impediment to China's attempt to penetrate in Africa and offer the numerous African nations a trustworthy perspective and a valuable support in terms of nation building and sustainable development. It goes without saying that, if the Chinese establishment truly intends to bring forth a groundbreaking change at the worldwide level, Beijing must carefully take the lesson of those circumstances before 13 years and overwhelmingly modify China's understanding of perplex situations and approach to long standing problems, notably the European colonialism in Africa and elsewhere.
In the first part of this series of articles, I expanded on a) the centuries-old Western hatred of Egypt, b) the existing historical threats against the Valley of the Nile, c) the gradual process of decomposition that the criminal Western gangsters applied to Libya and the Sudan over the past 12 years, and d) the direct relationship between the otherwise worthless Renaissance Dam (also known as GERD), which has been built in the Occupied Benishangul land (currently province) of Abyssinia (Fake Ethiopia), and the Abyssinian 'Prophecy' against Egypt and Sudan.

In the present article, I will complete the presentation of the Egyptian approach to the need of the Egyptian-Chinese Military Alliance and I will expand on the Chinese perspective towards the topic.

——————————–
Συνήθεις αναγνώστες μου θα παραξενευθούν επειδή χρησιμοποιώ τον όρο ‘Περσία’ αντί ‘Ιράν’ στο συγκεκριμένο άρθρο, καθώς και σε πολλά άλλα άρθρα, εγκυκλοπαιδικά λήμματα, επιστημονικ΄ά άρθρα, και βιβλία δημοσιευμένα στην δεκαετία του 1980 και στις αρχές του 1990. Αυτό οφείλεται στο γεγονός ότι ο όρος αυτός είναι περισσότερο γνωστός και αγαπητός στο ελληνόφωνο αναγνωστικό κοινό, ενώ ο όρος ‘Ιράν’ ακούγεται μάλλον ξενικός. Τότε έγραφα για να πληροφορήσω και να κατατοπίσω σχετικά με θέματα ιστορικού, πνευματικού, θρησκευτικού και πολιτιστικού ενδιαφέροντος σχετιζόμενα με το Ιράν, καθώς και για υποθέσεις επιμελώς αποκρυμμένες σε όλο τον δυτικό κόσμο, όπως επίσης και για δημιουργήσω συμπάθεια προς το Ιράν εναντίον του οποίου στρέφονταν η Δυτική Ευρώπη, το σοβιετικό μπλοκ, οι ΗΠΑ, άλλες δυτικές χώρες, και τα τρισάθλια σκουπίδια των εθελόδουλων κυβερνητών του ανύπαρκτου και ανυπόστατου “αραβικού” κόσμου. Βεβαίως και τότε γνώριζα πολύ καλά ότι ο εξεπίτηδες προτιμώμενος από την μεροληπτική, αποικιοκρατική, δυτική βιβλιογραφία όρος ‘Περσία’ είναι ολότελα λαθεμένος, επειδή το Φαρς (Περσία) αποτελεί μόνον ένα μικρό τμήμα του ιστορικού Ιράν.
Several of my readers may be astounded because I use the term ‘Persia’ instead of ‘Iran’ in this article, as well as in many other articles, entries to encyclopedias, scholarly articles and books published in the 1980s and the early 1990s. This is due to the fact that this term is better known and preferred by the Greek-speaking readership, while the term ‘Iran’ sounds rather foreign to them. At the time, I was writing in order to inform and enlighten about historical, spiritual, religious and cultural topics pertaining to Iran, as well as about matters carefully hidden throughout the Western world, and in order to generate sympathy for Iran against which Western Europe, the Soviet bloc, the USA, other Western countries, and the wretched, docile and useless rulers of the non-existent “Arab” world had formed an alliance. Of course, even then, I was fully aware of the fact that the term ‘Persia’, which is intentionally supported by the biased colonial Western scholarship, is wrong; this is so because Fars (Persia) is only a small part of historical Iran.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Russian Officer Bulatovich Relates on Colonial Raids of Abyssinia (Fake Ethiopia) in Kaffa Land II - 2010
1. Russian Officer BulatovichRelateson
ColonialRaidsof Abyssinia (Fake Ethiopia)
in Kaffa Land II
Dr. MuhammadShamsaddinMegalommatis
July 29, 2010
Continuing the series of articles on the insightful documentation provided by the
Russian Military Officer, Explorer, and Orthodox Monk in his books about his deeds
and excursions, observations and explorations in Abyssinia (undertaken over three
years 1896 – 1899), I herewith republish the entire text of his second excursion from
Entotto to the River Baro, an area that had been already explored by the Italian
military officer Vittorio Bottego. Before the text, I offer a recapitulation of the earlier
published excerpts and links to my articles.
All the Oromos, Ogadenis, Afars, Sidamas and others, who fight for their
independence, and all the neighboring countries, Somalia, Eritrea, Sudan and Egypt,
which are threatened because of the evil, eschatological dreams of Greater Ethiopia,
must study, understand and diffuse the insightful documentation available in this
book, which was published by the Russian explorer before 110 years; in and by itself
it constitutes good reason for the world to be preoccupied with the source of every
regional trouble and instability: the Amhara and Tigray (Tewahedo) Monophysitic
Abyssinians who rule tyrannically over the lands they invaded and the nations they
subjugated.
Recapitulation
Earlier articles of the present series can be found here:
1st Article
The Oromo Genocide Solemnly Confessed by Official Russian Explorer in Abyssinia
(Fake Ethiopia) (http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/169749)
Selected and highlighted excerpts from a book – report published by a Russian
explorer, military officer and monk, Alexander Bulatovich, who spent three years in
Abyssinia, during the last decade of the 19th century. These excerpts undeniably
testify to the Oromo genocide perpetrated by the invading Amhara and Tigray
Abyssinian armies, and have therefore to be brought to the surface of political debate
2. by the Oromo political and intellectual leaders at the local, regional and international
levels.
2nd Article
Russia, the Oromos, Egypt, Sudan, Abyssinia (Fake Ethiopia), Somalia, Islam &
Orthodox Christianity (http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/169937)
Republishing further excerpts from Bulatovich´s book, I focused on the possible
reasons for Russia´s failure as colonial power in the region. As reasons I identified an
inherent Russian quantitative approach to the colonial process and an overall
misperception of the past and the present of Asia and Africa, which is due to the
Russian academic, intellectual and ideological acceptance of the Anglo-French
Orientalism, a bunch of disciplines elaborated by the French and the English
academia in order to mainly promote and diffuse an interpretation of data that
would suit the interests of the Anglo-French Freemasonry, namely the driving force
of the Paris and London regimes.
3rd Article
Abyssinian Colonization of Oromia, Sidama and Kaffa in Bogus Ethiopia. An Early
Witness from Russia (http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/169997)
Another, longer, excerpt from Bulatovich´s ´From Entotto to the River Baro´ which
bears witness to the evil Amhara and Tigray plans of illegal occupation of the
annexed lands and of tyrannical consolidation of the Abyssinian colonialism by
means of settlements peremptorily implemented among the subjugated nations.
4th Article
Ethiopia (Oromo) vs. Abyssinia (Amhara). Unbridgeable Ethnic, Cultural Gap
Revealed by Bulatovich
(http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/170546)
Two more excerpts that focus on the Oromo society, namely ´Galla Clothing´ and
´Galla Family Life´. The text itself proves that Bulatovich came to get most of the
details indirectly, and in this case his treatise is conditioned by the evident lack of
access to the original source of information. Sometimes, Bulatovich insists on a
wrong term; although he knows that the correct name of the subjugated nation is
Oromo, he keeps calling them Galla. Furthermore, Arsi becomes Arussi, and Waaqo
turns out to be Wak.
5th Article
Oromo National Identity Diametrically Opposed to Amhara Manner, Russian Officer
Bulatovich Reveals (http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/170765)
Three chapters dealing with Oromo national identity, religion and language. All the
preconceived concepts of the colonial era are herewith present,thus leading
Bulatovich to erroneous interpretations. Certainly, the Russian explorer was not a
3. linguist, historian or historian of religions; more importantly, academic exploration
was not the primary interest of his travel which was kind of diplomatic
reconnaissance. In fact, Bulatovich viewed the Oromos, the Sidamas, the Kaffas, the
Amharas and the other nations thathe encountered in his travel as the outcome of an
interaction occurred at his lifetime with no past! Attempting to explain the origins
and the nature of Oromo festivals like that of Borenticha, he never imagined that the
closest possible parallel could be that of the Khonsu festival in Ancient Egypt, which
took place in May and had a genuinely apotropaic character.
However, the chapter on the Oromo national character is greatly interesting because
it demolishes the Ethiopianist myth of a supposed Ethiopian nation. There isn´t and
there can´t be any Ethiopian nation other the one identified by the Ancient Greeks
and Romans as located south of Egypt, which means the AncientKushites and
Meroites of Sudan, who are the ancestors of today´s brotherly nations, the Oromos,
the Sidamas and the Arabic-speaking Sudanese.
By describing the traits of the Oromos and by clearly indicating that they are
diametrically opposed to those of the Amharas (discussed in another chapter of his
book that I will republish in a forthcoming article), Bulatoovich destroys the myth of
possible Oromo – Amhara connection and/or affinity.
No common tradition, trait, quality, attribute or interest has ever existed between
Africa´s most opposite groups: the indigenous, ancient and authentically Kushitic
Oromos and the alien, Yemenite, a-historical and incestuous Amharas.
6th Article
Revelation of the Amhara Fornication: Light on the Anti-Christian Blasphemy of
Fake Ethiopia
(http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/171658)
Further excerpts from the same volume of Bulatovich, providing with his description
of the Abyssinians. Reporting accurately and truthfully, Bulatovich offered the
Orthodox tsarist Russia´s top authorities a trustful portrait of the unclean and
incestuous character of the pseudo-Christian Abyssinian society.
In just few paragraphs, he revealed a well hidden reality about the abysmal reality of
the Abyssinian society, namely that, despite apparent faith similarities, the Amhara
Tewahedo (Monophysitic) Abyssinians are not Christians; in fact,they constitute a
desecrated society rejected by all Christian believers, because they practice a
generalized fornication which is incompatible with the Christian creed, faith and
principles.
The true barbarous identity of the Amharas is revealed in the chapter on the
Abyssinian family that Bulatovich found it necessary to elaborate and submit to the
top Russian imperial authorities. In fact, there is no family in the Amhara society
whereby an extensive fornication has been imposed by the pseudo-Christian monks.
This filthy and barbaric practice makes of the Amhara society the outcast of the
Mankind and the embodiment of the savages.
4. With no family, there is no Christian society. As a matter of fact, Abyssinian
eschatology is a corrupt system at the very antipodes of Christianity. Their fake Jesus
is the Antichrist mentioned in John´s Revelation, and their eschatological aspirations
about another, fake Zion in their dirty and fake Ethiopia apply to a society deprived
of marriage and forced into fornication.
It is only for the needs of the Anti-Islamic plot of the Anglo-French Freemasonry and
the Zionist movement that the Abyssinians are widely but erroneously considered as
Christians.
7th Article
Outrageous Falsehood on Abyssinia (Fake Ethiopia) Rejected: Solomonic Dynasty,
Kingdom Do Not Exist
http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/171939
Further excerpts from the same volume of Bulatovich, providing with his description
of the Abyssinians. Reporting accurately and truthfully, Bulatovich offered the
Orthodox tsarist Russia´s top authorities a convincing presentation and analysis of
how and why Abyssinian nobility does not exist – which consists in a formidable
blow against the falsehood of the so-called Solomonic dynasty of Abyssinia, and
their connection to the Ancient Hebrews. In fact, there has never been any post-
Agaw Abyssinian ´Kingdom´
The Abyssinian social practice makes it impossible for a king, a dynasty, and a
royalty to truly exist. In fact, the expression "Abyssinian kingdom", referring to
practices attested after the fall the Kushitic Agaw political power, is the world´s most
obnoxious joke.
Not a single noble man, king or emperor has ever existed in the coarse and
incestuous Abyssinian society. From Yekuno Amlak (the lewd, filthy, barefoot
murderer of the last Agaw Chritian king Yetbarak) to Haile Selassie there has never
been any emperor, any king, and – more critically – any nobleman in Abyssinia.
The entire history of post-Agaw Abyssinia is a succession of uncivilized gangsters of
incestuous origin, who were peremptorily called ´noble men´, ´kings´ or ´emperors´;
they were imposed as such to all the peoples and nations that, with Anglo-French
permission and support, the Abyssinians invaded and subjugated.
Of course, all the subjugated nations preserved their noble character and rejected the
Amhara fallacy,fornication and barbarism. The memory of their noble past is still
alive among them. They remember that as late as the mid 19th century, the Hadiya
King rejected to meet the filthy trash that impersonated the Abyssinian "king".
Fornication, incest and prostitution are totally out of nobility and royalty.
This is something the Abyssinians will never understand.
It is essential now to explain why there cannot be any ´noble men´, ´kings´ or
´emperors´ among the Abyssinians.
5. Due to the absolute lack of family in the Amhara society, as I already exposed in an
earlier article (see below), there is no chance for a noblesse to come to existence.
The Abyssinian ´noble men´ are rubbish collectors called ´noble men´. Nothing more!
The Abyssinian ´kings´ are filthy barefoot beggars called ´kings´. Nothing more!
The Abyssinian ´emperors´ are dirty beasts called ´emperors´. Nothing more!
Any incestuous ruler does not make a noble man, let alone king and emperor. In
Ancient Assyria and Babylonia, these people were called "son of nobody", and this
exactly what all the anti-Christian, incestuous Abyssinian pseudo-kings have been.
And wherever there is no noblesse, there cannot be any kingdom.
The history of a country whereby incestuous rulers are shamelessly called "kings"
and/or "emperors" is not the history of a kingdom or an empire; it´s the history of an
incestuous society ruled tyrannically by barbarous and blasphemous rulers.
The history of the Abyssinian states over the past 700 years is therefore the sub-
history of an ignoble and monstrous society plunged in incest and fornication.
Abyssinia is nothing more than blasphemy and sacrilege; at a later stage, they added
genocide.

Second Excursion
My equipment consisted of a small tent, two packs with gifts, linen and clothes, and
two large skins with peas.37 The armament consisted of six Gra guns, two 3/8-inch-
caliber rifles, one carbine, one double-barreled hunting gun, and one Gra system
four-gauge elephant gun (with explosive bullets) weighing 24 pounds, which I
bought in Addis Ababa for 120 talers.
Including my personal servant and the senior servant, there were 14 servants, one
per gun. Two men carried the elephant gun in turns, since in addition to it, they also
had another burden and long marches were planned.
From Addis Ababa to Lekamte, the residence of Dajazmatch Gebra Egziabeer is an
estimated 360-400 versts [238-264 miles]. The elephant hunting season had already
begun. I had little time left. I intended to cover this distance as fast as possible, so
that after hunting I could catch the steamerleaving Jibuti on April 2. Therefore,
having provided myself with a letter from the Emperor to Dajazmatch Gebra
Egziabeer, I declined a translator and durgo along the way.
We set out at 12 noon on February 13. On the 15th, we camped at the vertex of a road
crossing in Chalea. On the 16th, having passed the city of Bareilu, and having made a
brief daytime stop at the city of Likamakos38 Abata, we climbed Mount Tibye. The
shum of the Likamakos killed a ram for us, and here we took part in the Lenten
church service. On the 17th,we passed the summit of Mount Tibye and Mount
Amara. On the 18th, we crossed the upper reaches of the Gibye River; and on the
19th, at 12 noon,we arrived at Lekamte. Thus we traversed the whole distance in six
days, going 60 versts [40 miles] a day along a very difficult mountain road. We set
out at six in the morning and walked till noon or one o'clock, made a short stop and
then again walked until evening. We were on the move ten to eleven hours a day.
Our food for this time consisted almost exclusively of peas fried in a pan; and for the
first days, up until Lent, we ate gazelles killed along the way, for the most part raw,
so we did not have to drag them along with us.
Notified by me of my arrival, the Dajazmatch sent all the soldiers at hand to meet
me. I already knew Dajazmatch Gebra Egziabeer from before. During my stay at the
home of Dajazmatch Demissew,Gebra Egziabeer was gravely ill. He had a severe
fever which he had caughton an elephant hunt.It was immediately after the rains,
when the huge grass was not yet burnt. Having surrounded the elephants, they set
fire to the grass, but a stiff wind suddenly arose and spread the fire over the whole
field and carried the flames toward the hunters. They saw too late the danger that
7. was threatening them. Already there was no way out.
Fortunately, there was a swamp nearby into which they all threw themselves and hid
in mud up to their heads. The fire passed them by, taking several victims. Without
exception, all the survivors fell sick with a fever, from which several men died.
Being of very strong constitution and not having previously been sick, the
Dajazmatch suffered especially severely from the fever and asked me by letter to
help him. One day I went to him and gave him some of my quinine.
Dajazmatch Gebra Egziabeer is a Galla. From time immemorial, his clan has ruled
this region. Twenty years ago it was conquered by the Tekla Haymanot, the Negus of
Gojjam; but he could not hold out here. Ras Gobana, the famous general of Emperor
Menelik, subdued all the surrounding Galla lands, and Leka, in view of its hopeless
situation, voluntarily submitted to Menelik and now pays him a tribute consisting of
100 ukets39 of ivory (150 pounds), 500 ukets of gold (about one pound) and a fixed
tax for houses and cattle. Moreover, the inhabitants are obliged to maintain the
troops of the Emperor who are stationed within the bounds of the region. At the time
of the death of his father, Abakumsa (as Gebra Egziabeer used to called) was
christened and had one of his three wives christened and repudiated the rest, giving
them to his retinue. Emperor Menelik and Empress Taitu were their godparents. At
the christening, he took the name Gebra Egziabeer -- which literally means "God's
slave." Promoted to Dajazmatch by Menelik, he inherited all the possessions of his
father: very extensive possessions which, on the west, border on the possessions of
Abdurakhman. The Dajazmatch is a very sympathetic and intelligent man. He is
interested in everything, understands whatcan interest a European,and recounts
very wisely and interestingly the history of his people and their former customs.
On February 20, together with 800 men armed with military guns, we began the hunt
and set out to the north toward the valley of the Abbay -- the Blue Nile. Each soldier,
in addition to a gun, also carried little skins of grain or flour, enough for ten days.
The kitchen went with us: two servants, carrying on their shoulders in rope nets
large broken pumpkins in which hung dough that was being made sour for injera. It
was a luxury which I would have liked to have foregone, but the Dajazmatch insisted
on it.
My whole cargo was packed on one mule and consisted of a small tent, one change
of linen and two large skins of corn for the servants -- enough for ten days.
The leader of the hunt was Baljeron40 Haile Maryam,also a Galla, but baptized and
trying in every way to imitate the Abyssinians.
The hunt was unsuccessful. We wasted ten days, sending out scouts and looking for
elephants where they had been before. We found old tracks, but there were no
elephants.
We came across other game in great quantities, but it was forbidden to shoot them.
On the last day, I killed a hippopotamus in the Angar River. Since the provisions had
run out, the Galla had not eaten for a day. They dragged the dead hippopotamus
8. with lianas to the shore and quickly ate it up, roasting its white flesh on the campfire.
On March 2 we returned to Lekamte.
Handek, the area where we hunted,embraces all the southern course of the Angar
River and the rivers which flow into it from the left, and likewise the valley of the
Didessa River. Beyond Angar begins Lima, the property of the Gojjam Negus, which
extends to the Abbay River. Both the one region and the other are uninhabited in
their low-lying parts because of dreadful fevers that reign there. Enticed by the
fertility of the soil, Galla go down there at the good time of the year, sow seeds, and
come back later to harvest. Large areas of land are planted with cotton.It's hard to
imagine a place more beautiful than this.
Bounded on the southeast, the east and the northeast by high mountains, cut by
frequent streams and rivulets, the banks of which are overgrown with thick forest, it
is all covered with low fruit trees with bright green glittering leaves. These trees bear
varieties of fruit which all have a very thick layer of flesh and a stone in the middle.
In taste, they are for the most part sour.
On the day after our return, the Dajazmatch assembled anotherparty of hunters; and
on March 4, we set out again, this time with a detachment of a thousand Galla men,
armed only with spears, to places where no one had disturbed the elephants for three
years. The leaders of this hunt were Azzaj Haile Iesus and Agafari41 Wolda Giyorgis.
Of the thousand men, four hundred were on horse and armed with three small
spears each, and the other six hundred were on foot, half with small spears and the
other half with four-arshin-long [three-yard-long] spears with huge points and yard-
long blades. This long spear is called a jambi.
They throw it from the top of a tall tree when an elephant passes under it. The force
of the fall of the spear is so great that it sometimes pierces all the way through an
elephant. Usually, one such spear is sufficient to bring an elephant down.
Only my servants and several soldiers of the dajazmatch were armed with guns.
At first we divided into two detachments, one of the azzaj, the other of the agafari,
and set out toward the west to the Didessa valley. After fruitless searches in the
forests surrounding the Didessa, on the third day we united again and went up
north, toward the watershed between the Angar and the Didessa.For five days, our
searches were fruitless, despite the fact that setting out at dawn we only began to set
up camp at sunset. I was simply amazed at the endurance of the Galla and, in
particular, the endurance of the scouts who were sent out ahead. If we did 40 versts
[26 miles], then they, probably, did at least 60 [40 miles], through dense bushes
overgrown with thorns, in part through high grass which was half-burntwith sharp
hard stalk bases. When you look at that terrain, you are amazed athow they,
barefoot, not only walk through it, but even run.
We usually made camp in the valley of some rivulet. When night fell and the
campfires were lit, all the old Galla would gather in conference with the azzaj,
discussing what to undertake and where to go tomorrow. Gray, taciturn, with an
invariable pipe between the lips, they seated themselves around the fire and sedately
deliberated, sometimes conjectured. When the camp began to quiet down, each day a
9. dialogue took place that on the one side was the orders for the following day and on
the other side was a public prayer.
"Abe, abe," was heard from one end of the camp.
"E,e,e," they answered from the other end.
"Tomorrow we will set out early to this place."
"Good. Good."
"We have a guest with us."
"I know. I know."
"Until he shoots, no one else attack."
"Good. Good."
"May God help us find the elephant."
"Let it be so."
"Let Maryam help us."
"Let Giyorgis, Mikael, Gabriel help us."
"Listen, listen," cries one to the other. "May Satan not get mad at us."
"May he not send a goro42 at us."
"Let him not strike us with sickness."
"May the Angar, the Didessa Rivers help us."
"Let the Jirgo, Tume Sibu, Tibye Mountains help us."
"All pray God that He help us." And amid the night stillness there begins a drawling,
plaintive song. Someone asks for mercy upon him. Someone asks for an elephant to
be sent to him.
Someone asks that his spear be guided. Some enumerate their previous triumphs.
And long, long into the night stillness, these plaintive sounds are heard.
Finally, on Sunday, March 9,we came upon a fresh night track. The scouts who had
been sent ahead reported this to us; and the whole band, those who were on
horseback at a trot and the rest at a run, rushed there. Up until noon, we couldn't
catch the elephants. Finally, at 12:30, the scouts reported thatthe elephants were
resting in the shade of trees by a nearby stream.
The azzaj gave the order to surround the elephants, and seventy mounted men
10. (including me, since a week before I had bought myself a hunting horse) rushed at a
gallop straight to the indicated spot. Having galloped three versts [two miles], we
suddenly heard cries, "There they are!" Fifty paces in front of us, we saw a huge herd
of elephants fleeing from us. A hundred head of elephant, big and small and all red
from the clay of the stream bed, flapping their ears and trembling with their whole
bodies, raising high their trunks, ran in panic. I shot several times from my horse.
Some of my companions shot, too. But the elephants hid. Meanwhile, the bearers of
jambi succeeded in climbing into the trees which stood in the middle of the stream.
The other spear-bearers on foot likewise came in time. The elephants, having tried to
flee to the other side of the stream, turned when they saw the mounted hunters. The
grass was set afire, and the frightened elephants scattered, like a broken brood of
partridges. There was no escape for them. In the forest, the jambi struck them; on the
edge of the forest -- the spear-bearers on foot and my servants with guns. Just as they
broke out farther, we surrounded them, like a swarm of flies, and even behind them
along the plain, where high grass grew and thick trees, we struck with whatever we
could. Those who had guns shot.
The others hurled spears which plunged into the elephants' bodies and which the
elephants pulled out of their wounds with their trunks and angrily threw back at us.
Anyone whom an elephant charged saved himself by fleeing while others distracted
the animal off to the side. If an elephant pursued someone all the way to the hill, it
was almost impossible to escape. I saw how one elephant, having rushed at a Galla
who had galloped by at twenty paces from me, in the twinkling of an eye snatched
him from the saddle with his trunk, let forth a cry and threw the man against the
ground, intending to trample him. Fortunately, others succeeded in distracting the
elephant, and it left his victim. In another case, an elephant threw a large broken
branch at a Galla who had been with us and broke his arm. Five, ten, fifteen minutes
of pursuit and an elephant fell. It was then considered the catch of the one who first
wounded it, and the fortunate hunterrushed to cut the tail and the end of the trunk
and the ears as material evidence of his triumph.
The field of the hunt presented an interesting picture. All around the grass blazed
with a crackling sound. In the woods, there was endless shooting and cries of terror
or triumph, and all this uproar was drowned out by the bellow and screech of the
panic-stricken elephants, throwing themselves now at one person, now at another.
The Galla believe that at such moments of despair the elephants are praying to God,
throwing sand and grass to heaven. I personally saw elephants doing this.
Only at 7:30 in the evening did this hunt, that was really more like a battle, end.
None of us had had any food in our mouths since morning, nor a drop of water. It
was impossible to drink from the stream because it was all red with blood. But no
one bothered to think of food or drink.
On this day forty-one elephants were killed. Five were my share. (I killed three and
my servants two). We lost five men killed: three crushed by elephants and two killed
by our shots. One man had a broken bone in his right arm. With triumphant songs,
we returned to camp, not feeling tired.
On the following day, one group set out to extract the tusks and another set out to
pursue the wounded elephants. Meanwhile I examined the wounds inflicted by my
11. elephant gun. It had a remarkable effect. I killed all my elephants with it, and with a
single bullet in the head.
On Tuesday, all the elders gathered and sorted out the disputes about who first
wounded an elephant. The Gallas do anything to show their right to an elephant.
They resort to bribes and to guile. But the Azzaj knew the people he was dealing
with. He waited until the provisions had been exhausted, so that hunger would
separate the true from the false. He didn't miscalculate. I didn't wait for the end of
the disputes. Since my elephants were without question, I hurried off with my
trophies to Lekamte.
On Thursday, March 13, at noon,the Dajazmatch ceremoniously met me; and on
Friday the 14th, at three in the morning, I set out for Addis Ababa. The send-off was
moving, since during the hunt the Galla had grown fond of me. As a gift, many of
them on the day of the hunt had brought me their spears, covered with the not yet
dry blood of elephants. They did this completely unselfishly. Gebra Egziabeer and I
exchanged gifts. I gave him the elephant gun, and he gave me his own saber and a
large buffalo goblet.
I forgot to mention that on the trip back to Leka, the Galla drove out a buffalo. We
pursued it on horseback. The buffalo adroitly evaded and beat off the javelins with
its horns, but, nonetheless, loss of blood and the long gallop tired it. Its head sunk all
the lower. It raised high its tail and breathed heavily. At that moment, a Galla ran up
to it and finished it with his spear.
The city of Lekamte, which I was leaving, is a very important commercial center. All
roads from southern and western Abyssinia to Gojjam and from Gojjamto Massawa
pass through it. In addition, fords across the Didessa and the Abbay are nearby.
Through it also passes the road from Wollaga to Shoa. Finally, apart from other
considerations, here is concentrated all the trade in gold, and here is found the main
trade in civet musk bought in the southwestern territories. Lekamte is a very lively
place and presents a motley mixture of languages, dress, and peoples. You see here
Arabs from Beni-Shangul, and Negroes, and people from Gojjam, and Tigreans, and
Galla. There is even a Greek and an Englishman here. There are two very interesting
characters. The Greek, Balambaras43 Giyorgis, settled here 25 years ago. He fought
in the ranks of Negus Tekla Haymanot and took part in rebellions against him, was
several times imprisoned and again pardoned. At one time, he molded the guns of
the Negus, now he lives in Lekamte as a merchant. He is the main buyer of gold and
civet musk. He described his life in a book, illustrated with drawings. This book is
written in the Geez language.44
The Englishman, Mekkelby, is a former lackey who deserted his master, the name of
whom he no longer remembers -- apparently, he was one of the members of the
embassy to Negus Tewodros. He now serves Balambaras Giyorgis and has
completely forgotten his native tongue.
Of the sights of Lekamte, one worthy of note is its newly built church. It is large,
stone and decorated by local artists. Like the majority of Abyssinian churches, this is
a round building with a quadrangular altar and four gates to the four sides of the
world. On the royal and west gates are depicted Archangels Gabriel and Raphael, the
former on the right side of the door, the latter on the left. Gabriel is dressed in a
12. colorful shirt, red hat and red turned-up shoes, and in his hand is a raised sword;
under him is depicted the sea in which Pharaoh and his Egyptians drown;and on the
bank, Moses, with a long black beard, dances and claps his hands among a chorus of
Levites. Archangel Raphael is dressed the same as Gabriel, and is shown standing
over the sea with fish swimming in it. He has pierced one of the fish through the gills
with a spear. According to legend, the fish turned into an island, on which saints hid
in time of persecution. To the right of the royal gates, under a large icon of the
Mother of God, Menelik and Taitu are depicted, pointing to Dajazmatch Gebra
Egziabeer and his wife with two children. The Dajazmatch devoutly looks upward
and holds in his hands the Psalter. To the left of the royal gates, under icons of
Archangel Michael and George the Victorious, the Dajazmatch is also depicted, with
his associates -- Azzaj and Nagada-ras -- his uncle and his brother.
I once attended mass in this church and saw a large number of newly christened
Galla receiving communion. Christianity here makes enormous progress, and each
Sunday the newly converted number in the dozens. In spite of the fact that the
Dajazmatch does not does not collect taxes for himself personally, the palace of the
Dajazmatch is notable for its splendor and comparative comfort. One sees the desire
to imitate Abyssinian etiquette in everything.
Leaving Lekamte on March 14, at three in the afternoon, we spent the night at a
distance of 20 versts [14 miles], at hehouse of the uncle of the Dajazmatch. Early in
the morning of the day of my departure, I sent a letter to the Emperor with news of
the successful hunt.
Because of the addition to our baggage of ten tusks and two buffalo horns, I had to
add another horse to our previous two mules.
The animals had rested during the time of the hunt, staying in the town; but after
uninterrupted, tiresome marches in very poor conditions the servants were,
apparently, exhausted.Out of the 29 days, counting from the day we left Addis
Ababa, they had had only one day of rest and one day of partial rest, when they took
the tusks. In the first six days, we went 360 versts [240 miles]; for the rest we
journeyed for no less than seven hours a day. Many had broken toenails and cracks
in the soles of their feet and limped. But their spirit was cheerful, and on the sixth
day, on Wednesday, March 19,we made camp in the evening at a distance of three
versts [two miles] from Addis Ababa (one stage of the journey, from Bilo to Jibat, we
made without stopping, starting at 5:30 in the morning and finishing at 8 o'clock at
night. One mule stopped, and I replaced it with a horse).
On March 20, the Emperor, learning of my arrival, sent a large convoy to meet me.
With firing of guns, singing and dancing, as is customary in such cases, they led me
to the palace, where Menelik ceremoniously received me. After the reception, he
invited me to lunch, and likewise fed all my servants. On the following day, he gave
me a private audience and, knowing that I intended to leave on Saturday, asked me
to postpone my departure to Tuesday, March 25.
My mules were exhausted, and my servants also. Therefore, for the journey to the
coast I had to refill the ranks. (On leaving, I sold the mules remaining from the first
trip, since they were almost all done for). I found servants very quickly and hired 12
men, the same as the number of guns. The Emperor gave me six mules for as far as
13. Harar.
The Emperor ceremoniously received me in a farewell audience, and expressed the
desire to see me again in Abyssinia. Saying good-bye to my friends and the
European colony, I left on Tuesday, March 25, at one o'clock in the afternoon.The
Emperor bestowed on me a lion's battle dress and lion's head band.
On April 4, at 7 o'clock in the morning, we arrived in Harar, having gone a distance
of about 600 versts [400 miles] in ten and a half days along the mountainous
Chercher road, despite the fact that during this time I went 40 versts out of the way
to meet the caravan of Ato Iosif, for my goods. On April 8, at 10 o'clock, I set out with
eight servants and the same mules to Geldessa, where I arrived that same day. On
the following day, at 12 o'clock, having put together a caravan of five camels and
having sent the mules back, I moved on to Jibuti, where I arrived on April 16 at 8
o'clock in the morning, having left the caravan 50 versts [33 miles] behind. (It arrived
on the following day at 12 o'clock).
On April 21, the French steamship "Amazon" arrived, and I left the shores of Africa,
which had been so hospitable to me. I took with me the best and warmest memories
of this country where I had been and of the people whom fate had destined that I
come to know.
