Ethiopia marks victory over Italian fascists
7:15 CAT | 05 May 2017
People in Ethiopia have been celebrating Patriots’ Day today, marking the return of Emperor Haile Selassie to the capital, Addis Ababa, and the defeat of the Italian occupying force.
The emperor went into exile in 1936 after the Italian invasion the year before.
The League of Nations – the forerunner to the United Nations – failed to support Ethiopia in the face of Italian aggression.
But in the fight to liberate Ethiopia, the patriots were backed by British and other allied forces.
