| The Fascist Genocide of the Ethiopian People 1935-1941 "...GOD AND HISTORY WILL BE THE JUDGE..." "The fascist intent was to exterminate all life in Ethiopia." Emperor Haile Selassie I June 30, 1936 |
"...It is my duty to reveal this action to the world: "A
mechanism spraying yperite liquid was installed in the
aircraft and it was arranged that a fine rain-bringing-death
should descend over vast tracts of country. At one time,
nine, fifteen or eighteen Italian aeroplanes were going to
and fro bringing down an unceasing rain of yperite. From
the end of January 1936 onward, this death-dealing rain
descended uninterruptedly upon our soldiers, upon
women, children, cattle, streams, waters as well as
pastures. The Italian army commander made the
aeroplanes repeat this work of theirs, in order to extinguish
completely all living creatures and to turn into poison the
waters and the grazing grounds. He made this his
principal means of warfare. This work of cruelty carried out
with some finesse, annihilated people in places far
removed from the battlefield and made their country into a
desert. The plan was to spread terror and death over the
greater part of Ethiopia. This most deplorable scheme was
eventually accomplished. Man and beast perished
completely."
