EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Ethiopian Chief Fitaurari Mangasha and his valiant band of warriors in the Arbaate Asmera neighborhood of Asmara, Eritrea, during the tumultuous year of 1916. The Ethiopian Commander of the Spearhead, Mangasha, stands proudly in the center, shield in hand, surrounded by his fearsome militia. The warriors, adorned in traditional attire and brandishing an array of weapons, including spears, shields, and rifles, exude a sense of determination and readiness for battle. The backdrop of this historic moment is the turbulent political landscape of the early 1910s in East Africa. Ethiopia, also known as Abyssinia, was a monarchy that had long resisted European colonization. However, in 1911, the Italian army, under the leadership of General Oreste Baratieri, invaded Ethiopia from Eritrea, marking the beginning of the Italo-Ethiopian War. Mangasha, a prominent Ethiopian chieftain, played a crucial role in the resistance against the Italian invasion. He led a militia of warriors, known as the Addia, Ababa, or Adi Arbati, who fiercely defended their land against the Italian forces. The photograph serves as a testament to their bravery and unwavering commitment to their cause. The scene unfolds in the Arbaate Asmera neighborhood of Asmara, a city that was then part of Italian Eritrea. The location of the photograph adds an intriguing layer to the story, as it highlights the complexities of the political situation in the region and the interconnectedness of the various ethnic groups and territories. This powerful image offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Ethiopian and East African history, showcasing the resilience and courage of Chief Fitaurari Mangasha and his warriors as they fought to protect their homeland from foreign invasion.
