As we celebrate the victory of the Battle of Adwa (March 1st 1896), in remembrance of our forefathers that fought & won over foreign invasion of Ethiopia. I am reflecting on the difference between Force & Power. The Italians, western colonisers & power hungry invaders came with guns, germs, steel, force, disrespect, unconscious aggression, masculine toxicity & a collective egoic minded false state, to dehumanise the ancient Ethiopians, the black race, & the African land where humanity came from.
As the only country in the world that has never been colonised, Ethiopian civilization is an ancient powerful consciousness, protected by myth, mysticism, high energy vibration, orthodoxy, & independence. Our forefathers had faith, love, strategy, vision, courage & a sense of responsibility for the future generations. The leaders, warriors, spiritually enlightened citizens, soldiers, politicians, professionals, spy's, & all citizens of the country were called from every corner of Ethiopia to defend country, land & freedom. They knew a nation without land, home & generational wisdom, would be a lost human being without a sense of being, & would be easily corrupted, influenced & controlled by dark forces that wanted to destroy ancient civilizations they couldn't have power over.
As I reflect on the victory of Adwa, & meditate on its significant impact on my sense of self, my self confidence, my importance in world history, my faith and what it means to be an Ethiopian. More than pride, I feel a sense of being enough, whole & more powerful than I think or imagine. I have a trust in the connectedness from past, present & future, to cleanse, heal & grow my being. I came back to Ethiopia because of Adwa! More than +110million Ethiopians by citizen, association or ancestors lineage all over the world celebrate our beauty in our diversity because of Adwa! Ethiopian woman walk with self awareness & wisdom because of Adwa! I have hope for the begining of the New awakened & evolving Humanity creating a New Earth because of Adwa!
We all forgive but will never forget, the pain, suffering & death of brave citizens of Adwa, that were murdered by humanities insanity. May we not give in to modern colonization! May the courage, wisdom, faith & consciousness of our ancestors translate to our struggles today. We shall overcome, as we are the children of Adwa. We are responsible for ourselves, & no longer defined by how the world wants to see us, as we stand in power, United in power. Adwa is not just the victory of Ethiopia or Africa, it's the call to consciousness that you are enough just for being human.
I am Adwa 🇪🇹

Thank you for sharing this powerful reflection on the victory of Adwa. As someone who is not Ethiopian, reading your post has given me a deeper appreciation for the strength, resilience, and unity of the Ethiopian people. It is inspiring to see how your ancestors' courage and wisdom continue to shape and guide your community today. May we all learn from their example and stand united against modern forms of colonization and oppression.
