Menelik is adored and highly regarded by the Amahras but intensely detested by the rest of the Ethiopian people especially the Oromos. While Emperor Yohannes of Ethiopia was fighting foreign enemies in the North, Menelik was expanding his areas of influence south and eastwards. He treated the subjugated people in the most barbaric and harshest way possible; in Wollaita alone 120,000 people were massacred when they refused to submit to his rule. In their own land, the conquered were considered as second class citizens and were forced to work as serfs for the Shoan nobility who controlled large swathes of fertile arable lands. The humiliation meted out by Menelik against the Oromos is felt to this day. On a number of occasions, the OLF demanded the demolition of his statue in Piazza as they found it to be a vivid reminder of their people’s utter mistreatment at his hands; it was a common practice among the Oromos to change their names in order to mask their identities and escape ridicule. Even now, the way many Amharas view the Oromos is not markedly different from that of their forefathers. But the current federal system has given the Oromos the opportunity to be the masters of their own affairs, which they did not have when the Amharas ruled the country for over a century. At this juncture, Oromia has become the number one destination for foreign investors, and the regional government appears to be determined to keep this going at an accelerated rate. Advertisement Menelik was not only brutal to his subjects, but he was also a traitor who connived with the Mahdists, the Egyptians and the Italians to bring about the defeat of Emperor Yohannes in order to crown himself as the king of Ethiopia. For his troubles, he received large quantities of weapons from the enemies of the country which he later used during the battle of Adwa. In 1887 alone, Menelik received a huge cache of Remington rifles and a substantial amount of money when he secretly signed the ‘’Convention of Neutrality’’ with the Italian invaders, which was clearly an alliance against Emperor Yohannes. The Emperor was not discouraged by this despicable deed, and, instead, concentrated his efforts into defeating the Italians once and for all. Unfortunately, he had to abandon this and hurriedly made his way to Gondar to confront the invading Mahdists. His intention was to return later to decisively deal with the Italians once he was finished with the Muslim intruders. The Emperor fought the Mahdists with tremendous courage for a considerable period and victory was within his sight. Unfortunately, the near triumph was turned into a defeat and the Emperor was killed, and his head was decapitated and given to the Dervish’s leader as a trophy. Teklehaimanot of Gojjam who was in Gondar well before the Emperor’s arrival was so scared he decided to run leaving the enemy behind to go on the rampage. Menelik was pussyfooting and never came to the aid of the Emperor. The death of Emperor Yohannes must have been a great relief to Menelik and the terrified Italians, who instantly came out of their trenches and made their way southwards. It is patently clear that Menelik and Teklehaimanot played a significant part in his death, and if he had not been sidetracked by the Mahdists and the fifth columnists Menelik and Teklehaimanot, the Italians would have been decimated by the Emperor’s commander, Ras Alula Aba Nega.
