I have to say the Muslims do have a legitimate gripe about the Jew's being greedy. Capitalism is an Islamic Economic System, and they HATED the Jews being a part of it. 1 thing is that Muslims never charged Interest, they believed it was a "hram"--forbidden, because Interest equals Greed. Jews, on the other hand, didn't give a shit. They charged Interest on GOLD. This was why Muslims chased them out of the Bazaar on a regular. Fast forward to now, and who's running the Financial District all around the World, esp here in the U.$?
The WASPs, British Anglo-Saxons and Jews in a nutshell.
The triumvirate of worldwide capitalistic financial neopotism, since the Frenchs and Germans had lost their gripe. The Saudis, Iranians and Chinese might replace the two latter ones sooner or later, though.
Ethiopia is also the only Afrikan Nation that has never been Colonized. The Italians occupied it at one point, but got ran outta that BYTCH with Sticks & Stones.
Ethiopians don't fuck around.
Actually, it is kind of a propagand-ish half-truth.
Aksum (Abyssinia) and Southern Arabian kingdoms had interchangeably managed to switch each other's roles as respectively metropole and proxy/ies prior that Zoscales made of his kingdom a cultural proxy to the Greek oecumenia and Red Sea trading polities via
Roman Egypt in early 2nd century CE.
Then in 4th century, Christian Aksum became one if the few African polities to concede themselves into foreign Roman policy by acting
de facto as vassal states to the Roman Empire, alongside the Ajan Empire aka Azania (the East African shoreline and remote parts of Inner Africa) that get previously vassalized by the Aksumites in late 3rd century, the Nobae (Nubas) , Blemmyaes (Medjays/Bejas) and Garamantes (Fezzan, Central Sahel and Northern Central Africa) ; likely to pre-emptively dissuade the Parthians from conquerring further east and south of East Arabia and Oman by vassalizing Arabia Felix and Eastern Africa, I presume.
Otherwise, yea they have more or less haven't been occupied at a longer extent than the rest of Africa, although we can pretty much tell that the Europeans, Arabs and sometimes Ottomans had a lot if difficulty to deal with historical Nubia, the coasts of Western Africa as well as Central Africa.
How much time did Sudan, Benin, Nigeria, Niger, the Congos and the rest of Inner Africa get wholly occupied? Barely seventy to ninety years? Afterward, white folks get booted right to the ocean and had to send at multiple instances green berets, NAVY Seals and professional killers to deal with machete-yielding bush guerilleros and spear-yielding pastoralists who were reportedly
invulnerable to bullets or secret societies of Shinobi-like witch-doctors-slash-assassins-slash-supersoldiers in leopard skin in the middle of the rainforest, reports about mystical men in Angola who survived
getting buried and squashed alive by catepillars from bigoted Portugese colonists and Boer mercenaries
with no damage besides having their cloth screwed up by dirt and other "Tarzan" or "King Solomon's Mines" type of fucked-up wonders??
People just don't fuck with Africa. Ethiopia is just the most obvious for being the one nation uphill upon a chain of mountains-- and also because of the major contribution they prodigued to the Allies against Fascist Italy in WW2 as well as the afterwar food crisis in Western counries and just the overall fascination about an African nation being able to humiliate the Italians twice.
