The 3rd and 4th mountain batteries, operated by Sicilians, were sent in December 1895 to Ethiopia in order to secure Italians colonial rule. This war monument is dedicated to Captain Umberto Masotto and his soldiers of the Sicilian batteries, who died in the battle of Adwa/Adowa on March 1st, 1896.
In the battle clashed the Ethopian forces under Emperor Menelik II with estimated 75,000 men against the Italian colonial forces under General Oreste Baratieri with some 15,000 men. The Italians lost it with heavy casualties. The defeat forced Italy to recognize Ethiopia’s sovereignty in the Treaty of Addis Ababa. Adwa secured Ethiopian sovereignty until the Second Italo-Ethiopian War.
Sculptor Salvatore Buemi created this monument which was inaugurated on 20th September 1899 while the two mountain guns were recovered by Italian soldiers in Addis Ababa after the Second Africa War (1935-36).
Flashman aged: 45 to 46
Years: 1867 - 1868
*Notes
In the beginning of 'Flashman on the March', Flashman is fleeing Mexico aboard an Austrian warship. Whilst onboard he 'educates' a Austrian princess due to be married, and as such finds himself in need of a quick exit again. A chance meeting in the port of Trieste, gives him the opportunity to escape this current predicament by delivering funds to General Napier who's beginning an invasion of Abyssinia (modern day Ethopia) in an attempt to rescue a handful of British hostages held by Emperor Tewodros. Flashy once again finds himself cajoled into secret missions, and doing anything and everything to save his own skin.
The British Invasion of Abyssinia is one of the lesser known military missions. It culminated in the Battle of Magdala, where the British won and the Emperor Tewodros committed suicide. An interesting little fact is that the British army had the new Khaki drill jackets and white Topi helmet, as opposed to the usual red-coat. As such felt I had to have Flashy in this outfit. I also really wanted to have a crack at a mud hut and do a straw roof.

look who I saw last night on the Malecon (Ajijic's Promenade) - the stilt walker with a camera ((((;
Always a delight to see a Bee-eater poised for launch from a hunting perch. The streamlined beauty and slender build a perfect natural design to hawk insects in the air.
Wintering in tropical Africa the Blue-cheeked Bee-eater's breeding range extends over an area from northern Africa across the middle east to India. This one on migration in Ethopia.

In the Fasil Ghebbi (Royal Enclosure), at Gondar in the north of Ethiopia.
The Royal Enclosure or Fasil Ghebbi is the remains of a fortress-city in Gondar, Ethiopia. It was founded in the 17th century by Emperor Fasilides (Fasil) and was the home of Ethiopia's emperors. Its unique architecture shows diverse influences including Nubian styles. The site was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Ghebbi is an Amharic word for a compound or enclosure.
The origins of the Fasil Ghebbi can be found in the old tradition of the Ethiopian emperors to travel around their possessions, living off the produce of the peasants and dwelling in tents.
Visiting the Fasil Ghebbi in the late 1950s, Thomas Pakenham observed that "dotted among the palaces are what remains of the pavilions and kiosks of the imperial city".

We sighted these dragonflies beside a bit of an oasis on the Aldeghi Wildlife Reserve in Ethopia. This the male poised beautifully in the obelisk position.
A handsome monkey with a fine moustache and fluffy elongated cheek fringes the Grivet, like so many primates, is attracted to humans if not persecuted. Where habituated, like this one in the grounds of our lodge near Lake Awasa, they are also bold, particularly if there is food about!
Found in a restricted range in the north-east of Africa, predominantly Ethopia, Sudan, Djibouti and Eritrea and possibly north into the south of Egypt, this one sighted at Lake Awasa, Ethopia.

The church was built in 1905 and finished in 1912.The architect was Jose Oswald de Andrade(father of a famous brazilian writter, Oswald de Andrade).In 17 th century there were an ancient chapel built for the masses usualy celebrated for free negroes.In the early 19 th century, during the Prince João VI times, it was built a new church.In 1904,in Republican Age a new church in neo-gothic style took place.
According to Legenda Aurea (a medieval book about the life of saints)Saint Iphigenia were born in Ethopia and that's the reason why the slaves and free negroes had her as patroness.
Desde o século XVII havia uma Capelinha com o nome de Nossa Senhora da Conceição, no alto do morro, sobre o Vale do Anhangabaú. Em seu lugar foi construÃda outra igreja que foi concluÃda em 1794. O PrÃncipe Regente, D. João, determinou que a Irmandade de Santa Ifigênia e Santo Elesbão, para negros alforriados se estabelecesse na nova igreja, em 13 de fevereiro de 1801. Um cemitério foi construÃdo atrás.
Como o bairro crescia, o bispo D. Mateus de Abreu Pereira transformou-a em matriz paroquial, sendo o Padre Antônio Paes de Camargo o seu primeiro pároco.
Demolida em 1905, deu lugar à atual, concluÃda em 1912 .
José Oswald Nogueira de Andrade (pai do escritor) foi o responsável pelo projeto, que foi apresentado à Câmara de Vereadores em 1901 e 1904.

Every eight years under a full moon, a tribe of Karrayyu priests gather in the Methara region, south of Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, for a ceremony to transfer power, this ceremony is named Gada. Five families share and govern the power.
In two days, 10,000 people come, mainly by foot to help with the running of the ceremony. Absolutely no tourists are allowed in the proximity. After weeks of negotiation with the tribe’s leader, I managed to obtain access to help at the ceremony. Throughout the entire negotiation process, it was never a matter of money, as is often the case with tribes, it was simply that the ceremony has never been open to foreigners.
The chiefs finally accepted, the Karrayyus are living in particularly difficult times and their position is precarious. They want to make the world aware of their predicament ; the drought killing off their livestock and the government selling their fertile land to Saudi-Arabia, India and South Korea.
Their former tribal wars with their neighbours, the Afars and the Sidamos, are beginning again. The number of young fighters wearing an ostrich feather in the hair acts of a badge of having killed another man, this acts as evidence of renewed conflict.
The ceremony takes place in the desert with hundreds of temporary houses having been constructed specially for the Gadda. In front of each house there is cow fencing, the cow being a sacred animal, each one being named like one of their children.
A mound of dry cow pat decorated with yellow fruit draws the boundary and the limit that nobody will dare to pass.
Inside the house, each family has brought their bugée mataas, a strip of artistically, studded leather, their only valuable object.
In front of the fences, the home owner waits for the ritual gifts that the visitors have come to offer them : milk, butter, sorghum …
An accurate list of what has been offered is kept by a sort of official or clerk.
As night falls, Karrayuus who have not managed to find the friends begin to shout their names, walking up and down in front of the houses. Some send texts from the mobiles, the only infringement of tradition.
At midnight, the tribal danses begin, the mass circle forms, the warriors, the Qondallas with their afro hair style leap up and down to show their power. The desert is no longer just an immense dust cloud.
At the same time, a group of other men look for the daughter of the future chief. She hides and they must find her, they are fortunate enough to have help, a full moon. Everybody else waits. All of a sudden at 3am, the women who were sleeping using their dresses as duvets leap to their feet and start singing : the chief’s daughter has been found !
The presents are then bought into the houses and the monstrous feast begins.
In the early hours of the morning, one hundred cows are sacrificed. Their throats cut by the Gille, a long traditional blade. The Karrayuus smear blood on the foreheads of the children as a sign of protection.
Later on towards midday, all of the men of power including the chief shave the heads meanwhile the women pierce their ears with acacia thornes. Dozens of cows are again sacrificed, and once again the hot blood is smeared on the mens’ freshly shaven heads, even babies have their heads smeared.
At this point, women are allowed to leave the camp.
Then comes the solemn, formal moment of the ceremony, the two families face one another. Each holding blades of wildgrass, irrechas and symbols of power. In a mad scramble, the exchange takes place in just a few seconds. The new chief declares power and disappears immediately !
The former chief leaves with tears in his eyes, the warriors pump themselves up in every sense. Drunk with happiness, the chants and songs start again. Everyone agrees to repeat the ceremony, in just 8 years time.
