The Libyans against the Ethiopians
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and dynamic artwork captured in this colour litho print by Achille Beltrame. The image depicts a fierce battle between Libyan volunteers and Ethiopian soldiers along the steep banks of the Gorrah River in Gianagobo, Ogaden. With great attention to detail, Beltrame portrays the intensity of hand-to-hand combat as fighters from both sides engage in a desperate struggle. The rugged rocks and treacherous terrain serve as witnesses to this brutal confrontation. As groups of fighters grapple with each other, they can be seen rolling down the slopes, locked in an unyielding fight for survival. This illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on 3 May 1936, providing readers with a vivid depiction of the conflict. The scene captures not only the physicality but also the emotional toll of war. The fallen bodies scattered across the battlefield remind us of lives lost and sacrifices made during this clash between two African nations vying for power and control. Beltrame's skillful rendering brings out every detail - from rifles clutched tightly by soldiers to their determined expressions amidst chaos. It serves as a reminder that war knows no boundaries or borders; it affects all those involved regardless of nationality or ethnicity. This powerful artwork offers viewers an insight into one chapter of history where colonial powers sought dominance over Africa's vast territories. It stands as a testament to human resilience, courage, and tragedy that unfolded during these tumultuous times.
