We technically were never colonized but we suffered from colonialism just as any other african country. The western powers have always been trying to undermine ethiopia's sovereignty as we never accepted colonialism so in the 19th century already they agreed to mess with our natural borders, the french took over afar and issa that is nowadays djibouti, the british somalia, sudan, and kenya, the italians eritrea, all encircling ethiopia to greedily devour it by preventing us from have access to the sea.

Later they backed haile selassie who was a dumbass never fit for emperor that could not make any difficult decisions between feudal lords and the people. Whenever he did make a choice, it was always disastrous and led to revolts, coup attempts, and famines, that is why the west liked him because he kept ethiopia a shithole.

The new world order formed by the united states about 72 years ago continued the old colonial order by new indirect colonialism where it kept the west the beneficiary and africans as the undeveloped servents giving up all their resources so the westerners can live a delicious life in the division of labour, there is no regard to humanity or morality or fairness, complete absence of empathy for fellow humans, that is capitalism.

Africa just gained its formal independence but not economic one, every african country that tries to follow the opposite path of its own peoples disgrace is silenced, couped and divided like happened with ethiopia, libya under gaddafi was also a victim and somalia was destroyed too by the usa and meles zenawi continuity collaborationist foreign policy to make good on the cia african policy.

With its full geography and potential ethiopia can feed its citizens plus few more african nations, we could have revolutionized the history of africa, for that reason the peoples democratic republic had to be sliced and starved. I hope that one day we will wake up again and take the lead in this fight one more time.
