My Easter break this year took me to a fascinating country, for a long-awaited trip that I had postponed since December 2018.
Happy to finally visit the country that in my childhood was referred to as ‘the mysterious land of Abyssinia’, linked to my grandfather’s memories, but also, unfortunately, to a dark period in Italian history.
I am glad that the Italians, almost a century ago, couldn’t win over this country that can proudly stand today as the only country in the African continent that has never been colonised by westerners. Like the Abyssinian black mane lion – that I hope one day to get the chance to see in Bale National Park – Ethiopia rises as a particularly rare gem in the rich African continent.
