EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the Tigray people of Ethiopia welcoming the Italians as liberators in 1935. The image showcases a group of individuals expressing gratitude and hospitality towards their supposed saviors, highlighting the complex dynamics at play during this tumultuous period.
The historical context surrounding this photograph is crucial to understanding its significance. In 1935, Italy invaded Ethiopia with the goal of establishing colonial rule over the African nation. Despite facing resistance from Ethiopian forces led by Emperor Haile Selassie, some local populations such as the Tigray people welcomed the Italian invaders with open arms.
The image conveys a sense of hope and relief among the Tigray people, who may have viewed the Italians as potential allies against internal or external threats. However, it also raises questions about collaboration and betrayal within oppressed communities seeking liberation from foreign powers.
As viewers reflect on this striking visual representation of conflicting loyalties and shifting alliances, they are reminded of the complexities inherent in colonial encounters and struggles for independence. Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this poignant moment in time through their collection, allowing us to engage with a pivotal chapter in Ethiopian history that continues to resonate today.
