The age of European imperialism is in full swing, and they have overrun every kingdom in Africa…except one: the ancient nation of Ethiopia, which faces a massive Italian invasion. At a place called Adwa, Emperor Menelik II - the last king of Africa - will fight one of history's decisive battles.Sources & Maps: https://www.unknownsoldierspodcast.com/post/episode-52-the-last-king-of-africaAudible Recommendation: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Gates-of-Europe-Audiobook/B0B25STPTT?action_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdpMusic:Umoja by Alexander Nakarada (CreatorChords) | https://creatorchords.comMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

No 19º episódio de “Segredos do Ramo”, a primeira temporada do Cannabis Hoje Pod, sobre trabalho e empreendedorismo em cannabis, trocamos uma ideia bem interessante com o Sérgio Rocha, diretor executivo da Adwa Cannabis, que se dedica ao melhoramento genético da planta, estudando sementes, variedades e o solo brasileiro, um filão de mercado ainda subexplorado e cheio de oportunidades! O famoso oceano azul para quem quer empreender no setor no Brasil. Sérgio transformou o seu trabalho de conclusão de curso, na graduação que cursava na Universidade Federal de Viçosa, em uma das empresas de maior valor dentro do setor. A Adwa, aliás, é hoje a única empresa autorizada a cultivar cannabis no Brasil. O feito inédito, claro, só foi possível pela seriedade e importância do trabalho que o engenheiro agrônomo vem desenvolvendo à frente do negócio há cinco anos.  Aperta o play para conhecer o verdadeiro “blue ocean” da cannabis, por meio da trajetória do Sérgio, metade pesquisador, metade empresário, que uniu tecnologia na agricultura à sua paixão pela cannabis para criar variedades melhoradas de maconha adaptadas ao solo brasileiro com todas as suas peculiaridades e potências.  Aproveita e segue o podcast para receber os próximos episódios primeiro, semanalmente, sempre às terças-feiras.

The Victory of Adwa on 2nd March, 1896 marked a milestone in the so-called ‘Scramble for Africa' - because, whilst so much of the continent had been colonised by European nations, Abysinnia successfully defended their country from the invading Italians. Rome had underestimated the Ethiopians' weaponry, motivation and strategy, and turned up with bad maps, demoralized troops - and orders to march on. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how a tricksy treaty was used to justify the incursion; consider the fates of the Eritreans who fought alongside the Europeans; and question the wisdom of getting your troops to march for nine hours straight before engaging in combat…  Further Reading: ‘First Italo-Ethiopian War: Battle of Adwa' (ThoughtCo, 2018): https://www.thoughtco.com/italo-ethiopian-war-battle-of-adwa-2360814 ‘The History of The Battle and Victory of Adwa (African History month): https://ahm.africa/the-history-of-the-battle-and-victory-of-adwa-125th/ ‘How did Italy Lose to Ethiopia?'

In this episode, we delve into the Battle of Adwa, fought on March 1, 1896, between the Ethiopian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy. Despite being vastly outgunned, the Ethiopian forces were able to successfully repel the Italian colonialists, defending their independence and sovereignty. We discuss the roots of the conflict, including the Scramble for Africa, the Berlin Conference, and the Treaty of Wuchale. We explore the impacts of the Battle of Adwa on modern anti-fascist movements, pan-Africanism, black and African solidarity, and anti-imperialist resistance. We also highlight the ongoing issues of poverty, conflict, and inequality in Africa that stem from European colonialism.

Anton and BC discuss Eswatini, the Battle of Adwa, and the launch of Mika Chavala's One Africa.

Dr Empress Rose discuss with Dejazmatch Kwasi (President of the Jamaica Music Conference), the Battle of Adwa. We are celebrating 126 years of victory to Ethiopia; a moment in time when Italy's attempt to build an Empire in Africa failed miserably. The Battle of Adwa is a constant reminder of what us, as Africans can do when we unite. It is through the primal artistry of unification and progressive work, that Ethiopia was able to gain victory against colonial forces. Humbly, we salute the green, yellow and red Ethiopian flag as a symbol of colonial liberation.

Ethiopia's military launched two airstrikes on what a government official said were rebel-held facilities in Tigray, capping a week of near-daily attacks in the war-torn northern region.The strikes signalled the military was potentially widening its campaign of aerial bombardments which has drawn international rebukes and disrupted UN flights to the famine-threatened territory.Government spokeswoman Selamawit Kassa says the same mission destroyed a separate facility in the northern town of Adwa used to manufacture military equipment as well as fake military uniforms used by TPLF combatants.TPLF spokesman Getachew Reda says that the target in Mai Tsebri was a hospital and that the target in Adwa was a textiles factory that was looted in an earlier stage of the conflict by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers.

How the late 1800s crated Ethiopian mythology is a counter-ideological resistance to the Haitian RevolutionHaitian Revolution from 1791-1804 vs Abyssinia Adwa in 1896The Haitian revolution put  fear & nightmare in European colonial powers not Abyssinia Ask yourself why was Haiti penalize after its revolution & trapped into debts to the French for decades while Abysinnia after Battle of Adwa got support in nation building from European powers?I always said the Haitian revolution should have been the only symbol of black resistance from the 1800s for the Black diaspora & Africa not AbyssiniaHaiti is a narrative of slaves revoltingAbysinnia is a feudal monarch who enrich themselves from slavery in 1800s Ethiopia is a creation of European colonialism & Battle of Adwa was a proxy war between France & Britain Hati was the real deal not Abyssinia Truly a black nation & an African resistance realizedHaiti narrative is not centered  compared to the promotion of Ethiopia and there is a reason for it The Haitian Revolution has often been described as the largest and most successful slave rebellion in the Western Hemisphere. Slaves initiated the rebellion in 1791 and by 1803 they had succeeded in ending not just slavery but French control over the colony.Haiti had a history of slave rebellions;there were slave rebellions before 1791. poisoning of masters.Before the fighting ended 100,000 of the 500,000 Africans and 24,000 of the 40,000 whites were killed.former slaves managed to stave off both the French forces and the British who arrived in 1793 to conquer the colony, and who withdrew in 1798 after a series of defeats by l'Overture's forces.By 1801 Hait abolished slavery Haitian Revolution had outlasted the French Revolution which ….Napoleon Bonaparte, dispatched 43,000 French troops to capture restore both French rule and slavery. on November 18, 1803the French forces were defeated. On January 1, 1804, Dessalines declared the nation independent and renamed it Haiti. France became the first nation to recognize its independence. Haiti thus emerged as the first black republic in the world, and the second nation in the western hemisphere (after the United States) to win its independence from a European power.The war on Haiti never ended after 1804 but continued in various forms via intervention, coup attempts and continues the management of the Haitian state by disregarding the people demands--compared that with Ethiopia in which from the beggin Europe help create Ethiopia and turn into the first African neo-colonial state with Abyssian as their local administrators and mangaers..Below is the counter narrrative that challanges the mytoolgy around Battle of Adwa being the symbol of restianceMekuria Bulcha, PhD, ProfessorThe circumstances, under which the peoples of the south, such as the Oromo, who were conquered in the 1880s, and the Walaita, who were conquered by Menelik two years before the battle of Adwa, were made to march north and participate in the Battle of Adwa must be notedIt was after Adwa that Menelik imposed the notorious gabbar system on the conquered south. Slavery and the slave trade became even more rampant thereafter with the conquest of the rest of the south and southwest which became hunting grounds for captives and ivory.[29] Ironically, it was the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1936 which brought the outrageous institution and evil trade in human beings to an end. “The united country called Ethiopia, which according to Larebo and Borago existed centuries before Adwa, is a myth. The fact is that when he turned north to meet the Italians at Adwa, Menelik was in the midst of the conquest of the south. The entire Macha region – the Gibe and Leeqa states – was annexed only in 1886. Arsi was conquered in 1886 and Hararge in 1887. As indicated above, Walaita was conquered in 1894. The sores inflicted by the atrocities committed against the Oromo at Anole and Calanqoo in 1886 and 1887 by the conquering Abyssinian forces were still bleeding. Even Wallo's conquest in the north was completed in 1878 after years of fierce battles between Menelik (then King of Shawa) and Emperor Yohannes IV on one side and the Wallo Oromo on the other. ““. While the Abyssinians were defending their freedom, the Oromo had no freedom to defend against the Italians. They had lost it to the Abyssinians during the preceding decade.  Their land was an Abyssinian colony. The “contribution” they were forced to make to the war effort saved the Abyssinians from European colonialism, but it did not help them to regain their own independence.”“ the Oromo did not fight at Adwa as ethnic Abyssinians or citizens of Abyssinia as Borago and other commentators try to suggest. They fought for their colonizers. They were not the first people to fight a war for their enemies.”In his Ethiopia: The Last Frontiers, John Markakis writes that Abyssinia “competed successfully in the imperialist partition of the region [Horn of Africa]. Not a victim but a participant in the ‘scramble', Ethiopia doubled its territory and population in a burst of expansionist energy, and thereafter proudly styled itself the ‘Ethiopian Empire'. He notes that “the title [‘Empire'] is not a misnomer, since Ethiopia's rulers governed their new possessions more or less the same way and for similar ends as other imperial powers were doing. The people who took the pride in calling themselves Ethiopians were known also as Abyssinians (Habesha).” Conflict researcher Christian Scherrer notes that “European and Abyssinian colonialism occurred simultaneously, pursued similar interests, albeit from differing socio-economic bases, and this was reinforced by comparable colonial ideologies of the idea of empire and notion of ‘civilizing mission' and the exploitation of the subjugated peoples.” Menelik's colonial conquests, Gebru Tareke, a historian from the north, has also stated that the Abyssinian ruling elite acted like the white colonial rulers in the rest of Africa. The language they used when describing their colonial subjects did not differ from the language the European colonialists were using. It was a language which was infused with stereotypes, prejudices and paternalism. He adds, “They [the Abyssinian elite] tried much like the European colonisers of their time, to justify the exploitability, and moral validity of occupation.” They “looked upon and treated the indigenous people as backward.”[17] One can add here that stereotypes and ethnic slurs about the Oromo, popular in Habesha discourse are the product of this colonial ideology.Margery Perham notes “The speed with which this great extension of the empire was made ….is explained by the …firearms which the emperor [Menelik] was obtaining from France... This same superiority was carrying the European powers at the same speed at the same time from the coast into the heart of Africa.”[18] The Swedish historian Norberg also says that “using the same military technology as the European powers”,[19] Menelik managed not only to conquer the neighbouring African territories, but was also able to garrison them with large forces called naftanya who controlled and lived on the conquered populations. As suggested by Richard Caulk, “the system of near serfdom imposed on wide areas of the south by the end of the nineteenth century could have not been maintained had the newcomers not been so differently armed.[20] The historian Darkwah notes that “Menelik succeeded in keeping the arms out of the reach of the [Oromo] enemy. He did this by imposing a strict control over the movement of firearms into his tributary territories and the lands beyond his frontiers.”[21]Darkwah notes that “in 1877 a Frenchman named Pottier was employed in training a group of Shewan youths in European military techniques. Another Frenchman, Pino, was a regular officer in the army which was commanded by Ras Gobana. Swiss engineers, Alfred Ilg and Zemmerman were employed on, among other things, building bridges across the Awash and other rivers to facilitate movement.”[24]According to Chris Prouty, Colonel Artamonov together with other Europeans was attached to the forces commanded by Ras Tasamma Nadew in Ilu Abbabor. He adds that even Count Nicholas Leontiev, a colonel in the Russian army, was a commander of a force which was sent to conquer the southwest in the 1890s. Another Russian officer, Baron Chedeuvre was Leontiev's second-in-command during the expedition. Several French and Russian medical officers were also attached to the Abyssinian forces, particularly those which were led by Menelik and European commanders. The Russian Cossack Captain Alexander Bulatovich wrote that with him, there were Lieutenants Davydov, Kokhovskiy and Arnoldi along with a command of Cossacks who had finished their term of service” and who were received in audience by Menelik and took leave from him and returned to Russia in June 1898.Genocide was committed not only on the Kaficho. It was also the fate of many of the indigenous peoples in the Omo River Valley, Lake Rudolf region and of the south-western lowlands who were conquered by the Abyssinians in the aftermath of the Adwa victory. Bulatovich, who followed Ras Wolde Giyorgis during his conquest of the territories south of Kafa, writes in his diary-based With the Armies of Menelik II that “By order of the emperor, a fifteen-thousand-man corps, set out on a campaign to annex to the realm of Ethiopia vast lands which lie to the south of it, which no one before this had explored, and which were completely unknown.”although the actual conquest was completed in 1900, the atrocities against the conquered populations did not cease; by and large, slavery and the slave trade continued until the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1936. As an Ethiopian historian has stated, Menelik's extension of Ethiopia's frontiers and the incorporation of new areas accentuated “the predatory tendencies of the ruling class and the soldiery. South-western Ethiopia became a hunting-ground for humans as well as animals. Ivory and slaves became the two precious commodities with which traders and adventurers returned from the region.” He wrote that “Members of upper nobility came to have thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of slaves at their disposal.”[9] Giving examples of some of the largest slave owners, the celebrated historian Pankhurst notes that Menelik and Taytu owned 70,000 slaves and Ras Wolde Giyorgis owned 20,000 slaves at the beginning of the twentieth centuryIn 1936, forty years after the Battle of Adwa, the British journalist and author wrote that the “peoples of the south and west were treated with wanton brutality unequalled even in the Belgian Congo. Some areas were depopulated by slavers.”[12] Comparing the harms inflicted by Belgian colonialists in Congo and Abyssinian colonialists in the south, he argued that “The significance of the Congo atrocities is not so much that they were committed as that they were exposed and suppressed.”Haiti is there to remind us the danger of western intervention & management Haiti is there to remind us the danger of NGO-AID intervention & management over the state Haiti is there to reminds us the power of the massesHaiti is truly the symbol of African resistance nowSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/horn-of-africa-leftists/donations

The Battle of Adwa is a hugely significant event and landmark not just in Ethiopian history, but to the greater Black and African populace and diaspora alike; What Ethiopia was able to accomplish at the Battle of Adwa shocked the world and became a beacon of hope for all oppressed people around the world to keep fighting for their freedom and independence. Ethiopia inspired the down-trodden, the hopeless, the subjugated to rise in unity. But how exactly did Ethiopia accomplish such a stunning military defeat? What events led up to Adwa? What exactly happened at the legendary Battle, and what was its significance? Our very first episode will be dedicated in narrating and discussing the events, geopolitical situation, and circumstances leading up to this historic battle as the first of a 3-part series as we count down towards the annual anniversary of that legendary morning.

Photo: Col. John Charles Robinson of Chicago In Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination, Robin DG Kelley writes that “most black people believed there was an order higher than the Constitution. Throughout the Africana experience in the Americas, Psalm 68, verse 31 of the Bible promised redemption for the black world. It reads: “Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall soon stretch forth her hands unto God.” Kelley goes on to suggest that this passage was as important to Pan-Africanist and emigrationist sentiment as the book of Exodus, even becoming the theological and ideological basis for what became known in the nineteenth century as Ethiopianism. One of the earliest published examples of this doctrine was Robert Alexander Young's Ethiopian Manifesto: Issued in Defense of the Blackman's Rights in the Scale of Universal Freedom (1829), which predicted the coming of a new Hannibal who would lead a violent uprising to liberate the race. Just like Haiti, Ethiopia's reputation as a beacon of hope and strength for the Africana world was solidified in 1896, after the defeat of Italy at the Battle of Adwa. The histories of Afro America and Ethiopia interacting are both deep and complex. But what is clear, Ethiopia held its own space in the sociopolitical thought of the Africana world. In his New World A-Coming, Roi Ottley wrote that "Negroes first became aware of the black nation [of Ethiopia] back in 1919, when Ethiopian dignitaries arrived in the United States on a diplomatic mission. During their stay in New York, this group received a delegation of Black folk from Harlem. During a ceremonial reception for this diplomatic mission, held at the Metropolitan Baptist Church in Harlem, the Mayor of Addis Ababa, delivered a speech expressing Ethiopian and Afro-American unity. Throughout the 1900s, African responded to various official invitations and appeals recruiting technically skilled Black Americans to settle in the country. Universal sympathy expressed by Afro-Americans for the Ethiopian-Italian war was shaped into concrete reality through the activities of several war relief committees. Actual participation in the war was expressed through the military activities of two Afro American airmen. "Colonel" John Charles Robinson, of Chicago and Trinidadian-born "Colonel" Hubert Fauntleroy Julian, who arrived in Ethiopia in late 1934 (as volunteer pilots for the only two Ethiopian planes that were airworthy during the war). After the war, Robinson remained in Ethiopia to establish commercial air service into East Africa and the Sudan. With the purchase of an old World War II surplus DC-3 aircraft, Robinson became service crew and pilot for the forerunner of the present Ethiopian Air Lines [Shack, 1974]. I wanted to contextual this deep historical context of U.S. African descendant connections and continuities with Ethiopia in effort to prime your historical memory of the importance of Ethiopia in the context of Africana internationalism and its place in the radical black imagination as a platform to understanding the current conditions in nation. More importantly why Africa, its nations, and the conditions within which communities face there are directly related to the conditions within which Africana people's faces across the world. Today, AWNP's Mwiza Munthali speaks with Ayantu Ayana, doctoral student and a member of the Oromo Advocacy Alliance, where she contextualizes the current conditions in Ethiopia. Aynatu Ayana addresses the underlying historical-rooted issues that manifest today in the country. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the Native/Indigenous, African, and Afro Descendant communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; and Ghana and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all peoples! Enjoy the program!

In this month's Leading From The Inside Out podcast, CEO Darlene Nipper and Executive Director of Thousand Currents Solomé Lemma discuss transformational leadership, US perceptions of Ethiopia and the continent of Africa, the changing role of philanthropy, and much more. The song in this episode is "Los Angeles" by Quincas Moreira. Episode Transcript Darlene Nipper: Hello, I'm Darlene Nipper, CEO of Rockwood Leadership Institute and your host for today's episode of the Leading From the Inside Out podcast. My guest today is Solome Lemma, Executive Director of Thousand Currents and of course a Rockwood alum. Solome, welcome. Solome Lemma: Thank you. It's such an honor to be here. Thank you for having me. Darlene Nipper: So we're going to get into more about your work in a minute, but tell me a little bit about your story, like how you got from where you started in life to where you are now. Solome Lemma: I was born in Ethiopia in East Africa and I lived there until I was about 11. Then I was in London. I came to the United States and we moved to Marietta, Georgia. And in Marietta, Georgia I encountered a community that was very different from what I grew up in. The kinds of questions that I faced from my peers shocked me because I didn't expect it. Solome Lemma: And of course now that I know that was a shared experience by most African immigrants, right? But I didn't know that as an 11 year old. So when kids say to me, “Oh, what did you eat?” Or, “Were you starving during that famine?” Or, “Where did you live? Did you have a home?” I didn't understand because even though I don't come from a family that was wealthy or even middle class, I came from a place that was abundant in love and I never felt like I lacked anything. Solome Lemma: So my sense of identity was not rooted in lack or deficit. It was actually rooted in pride and I actually thought I would come to America and tell people about how awesome Ethiopia is and how I can't wait to go back. Solome Lemma: So the fact that I came to a place where in some ways my story was already told for me before I even had a chance to articulate it myself, helped inform my educational pursuits as well as my career proceeded around really focusing on shifting narratives about Africa in general, about social justice and about Africans and the agency and self determination of Africans. That became the driving force behind that pursuit. Which led me here. Darlene Nipper: Amazing. Amazing. Darlene Nipper: There's so much in what you're saying that I have to take my first detour of the interview now and just say, you know, this conversation and say, what would you say about the history of Ethiopia? Darlene Nipper: I know just a little bit. That actually might be useful for people to understand in terms of your knowledge and understanding about social justice and equity and colonization and those kinds of issues. What would be important for people to know? Solome Lemma: Right, right. That's a great question. You know, it's complicated. It's a great question and a really complicated question and depending on what Ethiopian you have sitting in this chair, they would answer it different. And I think that's the one thing people need to know. The story that people know about Africa in the States when I came, was that there was a big, about Ethiopia in particular, it was that there was a famine. And it's this idea that we helped you. We saved you. Solome Lemma: We sang a song for you and raised a lot of money. Right? That's the story people know. That you're poor, you're hungry, you're despondent. That wasn't my experience. There was certainly inequity in Ethiopia. There was certainly challenges there. Solome Lemma: There was a famine. And famine that was worsened by political choices and decisions. Not because we didn't have the resources. But depending on where you lived, you experienced that differently. And I grew up in Addis Ababa. I was a kid, so I don't even remember it. I didn't even know there was a famine in the country. Right? Solome Lemma: Where it's for Americans, Ethiopia was hungry as a whole. So that's one part of it. The other side of Ethiopia that I think people know is, that it's the only country that defeated and won against European colonization and imperialism, because Italy attempted to colonize Ethiopia. And there's this idea that Ethiopians in the Battle of Adwa defeated Italy. And remained an uncolonized country. Solome Lemma: And to a large extent that is true. The current state formation of Ethiopia, was not colonized by Europeans or Italy in that way. But we have a complicated history in which, in terms of how the state of Ethiopia itself was formed, that Ethiopia, what we call present Ethiopia, is comprised of different ethnic groups. Solome Lemma: Some were switched, joined to the union or the state of Ethiopia by force. Then that consent. And that there are issues and tensions around that. Solome Lemma: There are political differences. So, when I came to America I realized the narrative of Ethiopia was either you are hungry or you're the black star. Like you're the nation, you're Ethiopian. There's a bit of truth in both, and there's a huge middle, that's actually really complicated. That there are some Ethiopians, many Ethiopians, that feel like they were colonized within the state of Ethiopia under Ethiopian leadership, including the ethnic group that I come from. Solome Lemma: So I think the one thing that I want people to know is that, to understand the history of a nation like Ethiopia, let alone a continent like Africa, which is often described as a country. It's nuanced and complicated and you have to dig deeper than what the news media is feeding you. Darlene Nipper: Your story, it crosses continents, it crosses. It's bulk spread, it's Pan-Africanist and then beyond that it's like, you came to the States, you just before we got on, you just said, you're an East coast person in the United States. Who are your people? Solome Lemma: My people are everywhere. Everyone. Everywhere and everyone. I am an Oromon and African from Ethiopia, right? And those are my people. Oromo's are my people. Africans are my people. Ethiopians are my people. Solome Lemma: But beyond that, my people are people that reject the status quo. People that really understand the importance and necessity of sovereignty and autonomy and self determination and people that work to preserve and protect that. And people that for whom, justice inequities are ways of life and not just ideas to be debated or floated around. Solome Lemma: So my people are people who are working not just to resist current systems of extraction and exploitation that you see in the world, but people that are giving us glimpses into the new futures that we want to run into with the creators, with the innovators, with the experimenters. Those are my people too. Solome Lemma: And to be honest, I often think about my people, where I come from and also for my people, what is home to me in that respect. And who is home. And my people and home to me are where my loved ones are. So in many ways, home to me right now is Atlanta, Georgia, because I still have family there. It's Ethiopia of course, then Africa in general because I still have folks there. It's California. It's wherever I have loved ones. Darlene Nipper: Beautiful, beautiful. I know that you founded or co-founded Africans in the Diaspora. Tell us about that work and what was important to you and just whatever you want to talk about about that work and what it … Make sure you tell us what it is, so that folks can understand it. Solome Lemma: Absolutely. Africans in the Diaspora is an organization that I co-founded that works to harness and mobilize African diaspora philanthropy. To connect the resources, financial, intellectual of Africans in the diaspora, with the work of organizations in Africa that were working to build new and transformative futures across the continents. Solome Lemma: That's what Africans in the Diaspora was. How I got to Africans in the Diaspora. If I can tell it kind of briefly is, the summer between my first year and second year of graduate school, I ended up going to Liberia in West Africa. And there I found myself entering a country that I had never been to, that was coming out of a long conflict, where refugees were being repatriated back to their homes. So returning home. And that's who I was working with. And I saw how in many ways they had some really clear ideas and brilliant ideas about how they wanted to rebuild their lives and rebuild their communities once they returned. Solome Lemma: But then our organization's budget were dictated by donors. So we couldn't necessarily fund their ideas. So I left that a little bit disenchanted. But also with a clear awareness. If I was going to stay in this field of social justice, from an international perspective, I needed to tap into what I thought was a personal identity as a bridge. Solome Lemma: I ended up in philanthropy in that way. And after a year or two in philanthropy, then I saw another problem. When it comes to Africa, philanthropy still had a deterministic lens and view. We were still doing things for Africa. Our idea of where resources come from are the global North, are American. And then we send it to Africa. We don't think of Africans having resources. Africans being solutions and agents of change. Solome Lemma: We see Africans as recipients and needs beneficiaries. Meanwhile Africans in the Diaspora were sending 40, 50 eventually $60 billion a year to our families in the form of remittances. Which is all bilateral and multilateral aid to Africa and larger than a foundation giving to Africa. Darlene Nipper: Wow. Solome Lemma: So I thought, well clearly there's a gap. Because if we have Africans with resources here, what would it look like, to actually tap in to African resources and connect them directly in a way that is not vertical top down. But that's horizontal. Solome Lemma: Because Africans in the Diaspora also seek connection and belonging to and with the continent. And how can you facilitate those relationships, where resources that are financial are definitely transferred, but also eventually relationships are built that are kind of that crossed the boundaries of geography and borderless for Africans around the world. Solome Lemma: So that's kind of what gave birth to Africans in the Diaspora, because I was frankly tired of the way development and philanthropy continued to approach the continent. And I still believe it's imperative that Africans build institutions of their own. To help not only open up space at the table, where these decisions are being made, but to also model what alternative solutions look like and how we can do this work differently. Darlene Nipper: Wow. And what were … First of all, that's remarkable. And the data that you just spoke of is staggering. But what were some of the challenges in doing that? How was this incredible idea received? Solome Lemma: I heard a lot of, wow, this is such a great idea. We would love to support it. Because initially the case I was making was, essentially this is an organization that will be self funded by diaspora communities. To get it off the ground, we will need support from allies and friends of Africa. Darlene Nipper: Makes sense. Solome Lemma: So there's a lot of, yes, yes, we want to support it, but nobody really came through because I don't think people really bought into the idea and really understood at the political and tactical implications of the work that we wanted to do. And then there were others who loved the idea and copied it, but didn't support us. So that was a challenge. Darlene Nipper: Wow. Yes. Solome Lemma: From Africans. My gosh, the response was incredible. From diaspora, it was incredibly positive. We set out to do our work in the U.S. initially. Because we thought, start small and just organize U.S. Diaspora and then we'll move globally. Darlene Nipper: Sure. Solome Lemma: We were getting responses from all over. From all parts of Europe. Even parts of Africa with people saying, “This is what we needed, this is the type of organization that I've been waiting for.” And I think we spoke to people's frustration with how Africa is perceived and also presented by development and philanthropy organizations. And also spoke to the aspirations around what it would look like to have self-determined Africans owning their own change. Right? Solome Lemma: So we got so many beautiful letters that I think for me, sustained me throughout the initial year of challenges that come with something like this. Solome Lemma: And of course those were mostly personal challenges around, to start Africans in the Diaspora, I knew I couldn't stay at my job, which was highly demanding and I left it. And when you leave your job, then you're not just worried about about the future and success of that which you're trying to give birth to, but also your own wellbeing and livelihood. Solome Lemma: And asking yourself, you know, I walked away from a significant promotion, and significant opportunities, and et cetera. And was it worth it or so on? I never questioned the values and principles behind that choice, but there's realities of a choice like that. Right? Solome Lemma: So that part of it was hard. And then also it was really instructive for me in realizing, engaging diaspora communities, it's very different from engaging other other funders or donors. Engaging diaspora to translate individual giving into institutional giving requires a different strategy that's really centrist relationships and not transactions. Solome Lemma: And that really focuses on connection and not just the work. And it takes time. It takes a long time. Africans give generously and abundantly. So to make a case for something like this, the strategy orientation needs to be different. Darlene Nipper: And that takes me to your next journey. Because now after all of this fantastic work as a leader, you're leading Thousand Currents. And there are two aspects of it that I'm deeply curious about. One is your transition, obviously, like from what you were doing before and your time at Thousand Currents before you became the Executive Director, into the role that you're in now. Darlene Nipper: And two is just like, what do we need to know about what's happening in the world of the work that you're doing, so that we can be better partners with you as well. Solome Lemma: Yeah. Yeah. Thousand Currents is an organization that has been around for 34 years now. We used to be called IDEX, we changed our name to Thousand Currents about two years ago. And from the very beginning we were committed to supporting communities at the front lines of change. I think maybe it was in the second year of Africans in the Diaspora, the previous ED of Thousand Currents, [inaudible] reached out to me, to ask me how things are going. And we started having conversations and I realized the extent to which Thousand Currents was so valued in the mind with Africans in the Diaspora. Solome Lemma: The deep rooted commitment to transforming not just the wave, this sector of philanthropy works as a whole, but also really transforming what building organizations that are healthy and resilient looks like. That was inspiring to me. So when she said there was a possibility for partnership in that IDEX at that time, could fiscally sponsor and incubate Africans in the Diaspora, I was thrilled. And that's how we started our transition relationship. Solome Lemma: Africans in the Diaspora was incubated at IDEX then. And we worked in intubation for two years knowing that if the partnership worked we would make Africans in the Diaspora a program within IDEX. And if we felt like it needs to go in two different directions we would do that. Solome Lemma: And it worked really well and now Thousand Currents has a diaspora partnerships program. The first of which is Africans in the Diaspora. [inaudible] The Africa Program and Thousand Currents. Solome Lemma: Today, Thousand Currents not only supports grassroots organizations and movements that are working on issues like food sovereignty, alternative economies and climate justice, but we also have a robust program that focused on transforming inequity. Focused on making it more just and equitable. That through initiatives like the Thousand Currents Academy, which is a training for people involved in philanthropy. Or through experiments like the [inaudible] fund. Which is a different form of impact investments. Or a CLIMA fund, which is the collaborative fund for climate justice. Solome Lemma: So Thousand Currents has multiple programs running across its veins right now. It's organizational veins. But I would say the core and heart of our work is the supports to grassroots groups and social movements, mostly primarily in Africa, Asia and Latin America, right now. Darlene Nipper: I heard you talk about transformative leadership. I want to ask you what has mostly shaped the way that you lead? Because it sounds like, this shared collaborative leadership style works for you, and that the work that you're doing is really about transformative leadership. Solome Lemma: Yes. Darlene Nipper: So what's shaped that for you the most, the way you are now around these ideas? Solome Lemma: I mean my leadership has been informed by the way that women in my family show up and lead. In the personal space, that I actually often draw upon in the professional spaces that I hold. And it's been shaped by board leadership experiences, or bad leadership experiences of note. That reminded me or taught me what I don't want to do. As well as really great leadership models and leaders that inspired me to be better. Solome Lemma: But if I had to kind of give you one example right now, I would give you my very first example. When I went back to Ethiopia to work, when I was young and 22 and thought I can do anything and everything. And I ended up getting a job at a big international organization. And my boss, her role was that of national economist for that organization. And I was really surprised by how much responsibility she handed to me immediately. Darlene Nipper: Wow. Solome Lemma: For an organization for whom status is really big, and an organization that has bureaucratic lines around who talks to who and who has access to who. She literally tore down all those barriers for me. So she had me interacting with the [inaudible] secretariat general back in New York. She had me interacting with ambassadors in the country. She opened doors that I really didn't deserve that time, but what that taught me was that, she was really invested in or committed to investing in young, emerging women leaders. Solome Lemma: And that was an intentional practice of hers. And also this idea of leadership as a starting point for leadership, of being trusted. Darlene Nipper: Uh-huh (affirmative). Solome Lemma: She trusted me immediately. And gave me space to make mistakes and to learn from them. And also she never told me what to do. Solome Lemma: She asked me questions. She had me write the country's development cooperation report or begin the process for that, which was a big responsibility for someone my age at that time. She gave me guidance. She held the container for me. She asked questions about the direction and created a space for me to ask her questions. But she didn't really dictate or tell me what to do. And I think those are leadership attributes that I hold dear to this day. Solome Lemma: I think my leadership practice is inquiry based. I ask a lot of questions to help people get to answers that they're seeking. And where I need to help give those answers, I'm willing to. Because my starting point is inquiry. And also I strongly believe that leadership exists at odd levels and layers of organization. Darlene Nipper: Yes. Solome Lemma: The leader of an organization is not just the ED, right? We know that. Darlene Nipper: Right. Solome Lemma: We should be at every level. Everybody exercises leadership. And I think she was my first practical model of how you support leadership at all levels. Darlene Nipper: What is your purpose these days? It's like what are you sitting with as a … We understand a lot about how your vision, some of your visions have come to fruition and a lot about your work, but how would you describe your purpose in this moment? Solome Lemma: In this moment. My immediate answer is, I think my purpose is holding fiercely and loving to the visions of a just equitable world, that are different from the one that we have, and to maintaining a space for unburdened imagination to flourish. Solome Lemma: I think we have so many challenges that are being thrown our way that are aiming to help us believe that there isn't another way that another world is not possible. That the only world we have is this. That the only political structures that we can build are the ones that we have. The only economic structures we can build is the one that we have. Solome Lemma: And I think it's my purpose now is to really hold tightly to that vision and that imagination that other possibilities are viable. That they're right here and it's our job to nurture, cultivate them, and to resist and reject the dogma of the current systems and structures. Darlene Nipper: Ah, so incredibly beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing that. So just a couple of more questions for you. So if you were gonna say something to the next generation, you know, you talked just briefly about our younger people. But you're going to say something to the next generation or leave something for future generations. If you could meet with them, say they were here right now, imagine that these future generations are actually listening to us right now, what message do you have for those folks? Solome Lemma: Such a good question. I think my message is, first of all, thank you. Thank you for carrying the work. Thank you for building these [inaudible] new futures where people, land and climate are implanted like driving. Solome Lemma: I'm sorry, we burdened you with a lot of the hard work. That you have, everything that you need to do what you need to do. And that your ancestors in the past has accompanied you on this journey that you're on. Darlene Nipper: Thank you. Powerful. Darlene Nipper: And finally, if we had a movement mixed tape, you know, I'm going to go for it, because this is the Rockwood way. What song is on your movement mixed tape, right now that you can share? Solome Lemma: Right now? Darlene Nipper: Yeah. What's a song on that mixed tape? Solome Lemma: A Luta Continua. Miriam Makeba. Darlene Nipper: Oh. One of my favorites. Yes. Solome. Darlene Nipper: What a joy it is to spend, you know, this kind of time with you. Really. Solome Lemma: Thank you. Darlene Nipper: Thank you so much. Folks, this is Darlene Nipper with Rockwood Leadership Institute. We've been talking to Solome Lemma, Executive Director of Thousand Currents. An amazing journey and a wonderful leader in our midst. Thank you so much Solome for talking to us. Solome Lemma: Thank you. Thank you for this inspiring conversation for me. Thank you for having me.

L'Ethiopie de Géraldine   [caption id="attachment_63572" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] Géraldine et Inès au restaurant Ménélik[/caption]     Pour démarrer la saison 2018 de Tes Cliques et Tes Claques, on part en Ethiopie. Géraldine y a séjourné à deux reprises pour les besoins de son mémoire sur l'accueil des réfugiés érythréens en Ethiopie. La première fois, elle a surtout visité la région Oromo autour d'Addis Abeba. Elle a fait escale dans les villes d'Aleltu, Sendafa, Sheno, Debre Zeit/Bishoftu. Durant son deuxième voyage, elle s'est rendue à Awasa dans le Sud. Puis, elle est partie pour la région du Tigray, près de la frontière érythréenne. Elle est surtout restée à Mekele, puis Adwa, Aksum et Shire.   Depuis le restaurant Ménélik, situé dans le 17ème arrondissement de Paris, on déguste un beyayennatou, un plat traditionnel servi dans une injera, une grande galette de tef. Le tout accompagné d'une bière St Georges - s'il vous plait ! En fin de soirée, la cérémonie du café débute. Ca sent bon le café et l'encens ! La nuit risque d'être encore longue !

Mike A has a singular fascination with the history of modern day Ethiopia. First he brought us Emperor Haile Selassie, a man made a god by Jamaicans. Then he brought us Beta Israel, the forgotten first Jewish Kingdom outside Israel. Last year he gave us Commie v. Commie when the Ethiopian DERG fought the Somali Supreme Revolutionary Council for communist supremacy of the Horn of Africa. Today he gives you his 4th of 5 parts: the Battle of Adwa, where Ethiopians brutally embarrassed a late to the imperialism game Italy.

Bobby Maddex interviews Fr. Lawrence Russell, priest at Church of the Annunciation in Santa Maria, California, about a truly remarkable Orthodox ministry, located in Adwa, Ethiopia, and the even more remarkable woman who started it.

Raymond Jonas‘ The Battle of Adwa: African Victory in the Age of Empire (Harvard UP, 2011) places Menelik alongside Napoleon and other greatest strategists. The Ethiopian emperor carried out a brilliant maneuver across hundreds of miles, essentially defeating his Italian adversaries without battle. That battle came was the colossal blunder of the Italians and one that cost thousands of Italian and Askari soldiers their lives. More than just the history of the campaign, The Battle of Adwa provides keen insights into Menelik’s court and elucidates Italian imperial ambitions. Learn more about your ad choices.
