EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative print captures a moment in history that is both chilling and poignant. Taken in 1936 during the conflict between Ethiopia and Italy, the image shows Ethiopians concealing men and munitions under a Red Cross flag. This act of deception was not only a strategic move to protect themselves from enemy forces, but also a desperate attempt to preserve their sovereignty and independence.
The Red Cross flag, traditionally a symbol of neutrality and humanitarian aid, takes on new meaning in this context as it becomes a shield for those fighting against colonial aggression. The men hidden beneath its folds are not just soldiers, but sons, fathers, brothers - individuals who are willing to risk everything for their country's freedom.
As we look at this photograph today, we are reminded of the resilience and courage of the Ethiopian people in the face of adversity. It serves as a testament to their unwavering spirit and determination to defend their land against all odds.
Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in African history - one that continues to resonate with significance even decades later. It is a stark reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for justice and liberation, inspiring us to never forget the struggles faced by our ancestors.
