Professor Raymond Jonas, a history professor at Washington University in America, has stated that the victory at Adwa was a historic triumph achieved by Ethiopians uniting for a common purpose.
Professor Jonas is particularly known for his book, "The Battle of Adwa: African Victory in the Age of Empire," which focuses on the history of Adwa.
The professor highlighted that Ethiopia's victory in the Battle of Adwa halted European colonial ambitions and fundamentally shifted contemporary thinking. He emphasized that the primary reason for Ethiopia's victory over the then-powerful Italy was the unity of the Ethiopian people.
He noted that Ethiopians at Adwa set aside internal differences to fight together for their nation's freedom, leading to their victory.
According to Professor Jonas, the greatest lesson from the Adwa victory is the importance of unity in pursuing a common goal. The story is from ENA.
