About Seventy-three years ago, fascist Italy carried
out a systematic mass extermination campaign in Ethiopia with poison gas
sprayed from airplanes and other horrific atrocities that claimed the lives of
no less than 1,000,000 Ethiopian men, women and children, including the entire
monastic community at the historic Debre Libanos Monastery. from that time until now, no official Italian government
has ever been held accountable for the genocide of the Ethiopian people from
1935-1941, nor has the Vatican ever apologized for its complicities which are
conveyed by Pope Pius XI's support of Mussolini's "civilising
mission" in Ethiopia: The Holy Father remained "conspicuously
silent" while Vatican clergy blessed fascist military troops, and their
weapons, before they departed to carryout Mussolini's "civilising
mission" in Ethiopia. For a record,
the government of Italy has paid a
ransom compensation of around
25 million dollar s a compensation of the atrocities they have done to then Ethiopian people government
but at any parameter this is not even
matched what they have done to people of Ethiopia
and
the environmental destruction they did to our country. Recent report showed that Italy has signed an agreement with
Libya to pay a compensation of $5 billion for the use of Libyans who fought as
part of the Fascist army during the Second World War. To that end, Ethiopia
should be compensated a minimum of $50 billion. Indeed Our country deserves more
than that.
