An Italian illustration of the death of Maj. Toselli besides his men during the disastrous battle of Amba Alagi against the Ethiopian Empire, resulting in the loss of 2000 men and 31 Italian officers. This battle marked the turning point of the First Italo-Ethiopian war (1895-1896).
I never noticed it before, but I believe that the painter deliberately depicted the Italians as having their stereotypical ''Roman'' noses here, causing them to look like goblins.
An Injured girl found beside her deceased mother in Ethiopia, reportedly after being there for several days. They were, reportedly, targetted as part of a broader campaign against Amhara communities in the broader armed conflict. (21 August, 2026)
Reportedly filmed in Anderoricho Kebele, Gida Ayana Woreda, East Wollega Zone, Oromia Region, in Ethiopia. According to the person filming the video, the victims are Amhara civilians. The footage shows a young girl who appears to have suffered a serious gunshot wound to her leg, alongside the body of her deceased mother. The local resident (who recorded the scene) states that the girl had remained beside her mother's body for several days after the incident.
Multiple Ethiopian social-media sources reporting on the incident place it in Anderoricho Kebele and state that the mother was killed on August 21, 2026, with the daughter subsequently being found alive several days later. The reports describe the incident as occurring amid wider violence affecting the Amhara minority within the Oromo-majority areas in the Gida Ayana area.
The identity of the perpetrators and the precise circumstances surrounding the mother's death have not been independently verified. The location and date are likewise based primarily on the video and circulating local/Ethiopian reports rather than an independent investigation.
