Why the Victory of Ethiopia at the Battle of Adwa is so Important: First of all Ethiopians waged a just war to defend themselves and their land from the invader Fascist Italian army led by the then dictator Benito Mussolini.
The Victory of Ethiopia in 1896 at the battle of Adwa is not only a victory for Ethiopia and Africa. It is also an important victory for the rest of the wider freedom and peace loving International Community.
The victory of Ethiopia at the battle of Adwa has encouraged Liberation Movements and raised the moral of the Human Rights groups and inspired colonised and segregated nations throughout the world. Consequently Ethiopia and its flag are considered to be symbols of Freedom, Justice and Independence.
