EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in Ethiopian history, showcasing a pair of Abyssinian Warriors mounted on horseback, circa 1930s. Abyssinia, now known as Ethiopia, is the oldest independent country in Africa, with a rich and complex history that spans over 3,000 years. These brave warriors, dressed in traditional attire, are a testament to the country's proud and storied past. The warriors are seen holding round, circular shields, a common feature of Ethiopian weaponry. These shields, made of wood and covered with rawhide, were used to protect the warriors from arrows and spears. In their right hands, they hold spears, ready to strike at a moment's notice. The horses, their trusted companions, are adorned with intricate trappings, adding to the regal and imposing appearance of the warriors. The use of horses in Ethiopian warfare dates back to ancient times, making cavalry a significant military force. The Abyssinian Warriors were renowned for their horsemanship and tactical prowess, making them a formidable opponent on the battlefield. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and culture of Ethiopia during a time when traditional military practices were still prevalent. The image is a powerful reminder of the rich history and heritage of Ethiopia, a country that has weathered the test of time and continues to be a beacon of resilience and strength in the heart of East Africa.
