Interview with former AA University President Dr.Aklilu Habte

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 churches, monasteries historic places. One of the interesting thing during that time was , the Vatican clergy blessed fascist military troops, and their weapons, before they departed to carryout Mussolini's "civilizing mission" in Ethiopia.  For a record, the government of Italy has paid  a ransom  sum around   25 million dollars   as   compensation of  the atrocities  they have done  to  the ethiopian people.    It was reported the money was funded to built  Koka  dam,  but  many argued that  the  compensation  at any parameter is not   even  matched what the then Italian rulers    have done to the entire   people  of Ethiopia  as well  as   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.
