The nexus the Adwa battle and the Black freedom fight were similar eventhough both happened in a different time range. But they are essentially had similar same goals - freedom of the black nation from dominance by others and a quest for independence . Thats why, the vctory of Adwa became the blue print of the coming generation of blacks across the globe on how to struggle against the oppression imposed on them and can become triumphant in the process of doing so.
Why all african dcendants SHOULD celebrate THE adwa VICTORY together? One of the problems of the way we have been comemorating the struggle of the blacks for equality is that it misses the larger and the full picture. As a result it doesn’t give our children the full picture of the the centuries old struggle for equality making them have a haphazard view of our struggle. Also, it makes history of the struggle of the black for equality against an outside domination sound a history of opperesion which is not the whole truth on the ground. As much as we remember our losses so should we remember our victories too. And the battle of Adwa squarely falls into the category of the triumphant side of our struggle worth a celebration.
