THE AWFUL TRUTH OF ALFRED ILG
FIREARM SMUGGLER: THE BITWEDED OF “MENELIK II”
FIREARM SMUGGLER: THE BITWEDED OF “MENELIK II”
Part VI
By Odaahora
Alfred Ilg’s knowledge about Menelik
from Zagol to one man Empire
from Zagol to one man Empire
There were no a best Habeshalzed Ferje “white,” a European citizen
and influential as Alfre Ilg in Abyssinian history at all. He was not only a
master of Firearm smuggler, a staunch advocate in foreign affairs who systematically
replaced Italy, but also a more fanatic, and a brain of Menelik’s territorial expansion and aggrandizement
policy toward the south He knew the
Habeshas or Abyssinians deep to the bone marrow. were in.He self-thought their language
very fast, no books, no teachers were available, illiteracy, hundred-to-hundred.
He studied their “myth and fables.” He lived within them and served half of his
life in all spheres of Menelik of
Abyssinian affairs.

He studied their “myth and fables.” He lived within them and served half of his
life in all spheres of Menelik of
Abyssinian affairs.
He provided all that Menelik
dreamed for his territorial expansion and aggrandizement toward the south, and
get it all from what were needed singularly from one person Alfred Ilg and
named him “Bitweded.” The Europeans
who were active in Abyssinia to gain their own share called Alfred Ilg a “burden of white men.” While, to see
Menelik with naked eye let alone to make deals, without Alfred Ilg’s permission
and knowledge was virtually impossible, that was why Alfred Ilg’s hut in Gaara
Xixaa (Intootoo Moutain) was turned to the hubs of Europeans to find the
indirect way to deal whatever business it may with Menelik.

Xixaa (Intootoo Moutain) was turned to the hubs of Europeans to find the
indirect way to deal whatever business it may with Menelik.
Antonelli of Italy who has a long
period of deals with Menelik sued Alfred Ilg, not only as a Firearm smuggler indeed
but also as the mastermind who invented the must
and the can modal verbs fiasco of the
treaty of Waachaale years later. In fact, Menelik how were the underdogs of the
embittering murderer warlords arose in the region.Thus he had not dreamed, let
alone to combat Europeans; Italy. He had signed it with gratitude, and in return,
Italy provided him with immense Firearms and money credits in Millions.
Antonelli embittered and alleged that Alfred Ilg hijacked the Waachaale treaty
of protectorate signed between Menelik and Italy. Alfred Ilg who translated the
document written in Rome to Amharic who invented the must and the can modal
verbs fiasco and played the games step by step to his own advantages and
influences from time time. Alfred Ilg of Swiss citizen become a staunch advocate of Menelik in foreign
relations official who kicked out Italy:the
protectorate of Menelik’s Abyssinia and hijacked it. One must bear in mind, an individual
without his states backing cannot be different than any individual Europeans
who served Menelik in various professional disciplines, such as physicians or
cartographers or others. Thus, Alfred Ilg with Swiss state’s backing can not be
so influential and determinate factor of Abyssinia.

Alfred knew Abyssians from baggers
from the streets who circled his house each and every morning that he was
finally fed up to see them to higher ranking Abuna’s in the church. He was a best
friend of Abuna Mathewos who crowned Sahle Maryam and gave the name “Menelik
II” adapted to the myth of Menelik I of Solomon and Saaba;the signature of self-denial
that they still celebrate. Alfred Ilg also knew from house slaves, while he
holds over fifty to hundreds who built his house, provided all for his livings
given to him by Menelik. He also used slaves
to build a permanent residence for Menelik and his Neftanya infantries, followed him, the new coming settlers, stone-paved
streets, houses, bridges and later on the bumptiously propagated railroad construction,
“Civilization torch” etc. in Finfinne. He
knew his predatory nomadic Zagol life.
He knew the evicted indigenous people from Finfinne where he set a stone to be
the capital site of Menelik and the center of control and mobilization by the
settlers; gun carriers, “the Neftenanys
” warlords leaders followed Menelik. The time the exodus of the aliens of the
north began in earnest toward the south.
They conducted genocides, ethnocides versus
the south with firearms and ammunition provided from Europe that holds true to
the very date.

Alfred Ilg came to a barbaric,
primitive region, where Sheftas (bandits), robberies, cattle raiding, stealing whatever
come on their way were their means of life.He knew that they were butchering
each other for centuries without pauses. Outlawed acts were the only way to
climb and hold power, the behavior that has never ever changed, a cockpit of
every settler brigands of the aliens of the north:the Habeshas, con. ‘Ethiopia’
that the world has witnessed.and still do to the current tyrants who cling to
power, sworn to do so to their burial or to their last minute flight if they succeed;the
fate of all tyrants in human history in general, a signature for Abyssinia.

Alfred and Leon Chefneux; his partner indeed knew very well about the behavior, mannerism and gruesome acts of the
Abyssinians history versus the otherness; the natives or the foreigners.
Most importantly, the number of Europeans killed, at least since the era of
the coming of Portuguese, missioners, expeditions who were, jailed, killed,
captured in various times and places in the region. Werner Muzinger, the Swiss citizen killed in 1875 was
a recent past fact that both engineers were warned before their journey to the
primitive, barbaric region of Abyssinia in the horn of Africa: Muzinger served as joint British and French
consul at Massawa parallel to handles and trade who traveled between the Red Sea and Cairo. Both of the arrested engineers had also destined to witness the gruesome
acts of Menelik and his hordes during “hagaermaqnat
werera” invasion and expansion. Most importantly, Alfred Ilg was not only a
mastermind organizer and unifier of Abyssians under one umbrella, controlled , one
man, Menelik. He personally participated actively in the creation of one of the
barbaric, primitive empires in the Africa continent. They both knew and saw
chopped legs and arms of men of Arsi, and chopped breasts of women. They knew
from, captured men and women, raped women, sold as animals, they knew from burnt
houses and properties of unarmed civilian populations.

To add an insult to injury, they
took out of the continent stolen, plundered, boots, properties of the conquered
people of the south from a clay pot to Kings Crown and Chair, Gold, Coffee,Civet,
Tusks, etc. Thus in a circumstance where they were without a shadow of doubt unwillingly
automatical rings in their mind, extrapolates, rewind back in monologs and
dialogs fashion engages the engineers in small dirty Hut, in the hottest month
of the summer season in February (Guraandhla) in Finfinne. For certain, that is
the way the healthy human brain works. In reverse, good services especially
Alfred Ilg gave, and in return awards, namings he gained at this spot and the
mind considers that was the activities of past, a snow from yesterday, It didn’t
help at this minute. The worst of all as it was described was that they had no
clue of why they were jailed? and what was going to happen with them next, their
final fate?

Once at the time, it worths to
remind that both engineers also knew the health status of Shale Maryam and
Xaayitu (Tay(i)tu). Menelik was infected with syphilis; a sexually transmitted
disease (STD) caused by the Spirochete special arts of bacteria called Treponema pallidium already at very younger ages diagnosed
by his European physicians like Dr. Joseph Vilajien. From Habesha side his Debteras
and Abunas, the Witch Doctors of Abyssinians also “diagnosed” by reading his Horoscopes
and “digmet” alleged to know that Menilk’s infertility blaming “evil spirit”as
a causative agent. The Debteras of Menelik’s
plausibly recommended drinking “Haraki” house made alcohol, as a broad spectrum
“Antibiotic” of Abyssinian to treat him from syphilis. As a result, Menelik and
his wife were turned alcoholic which the
engineers knew. one can see facial bloating, fattening, disfiguration
and cellulitis of the face of Xaayitu’s and Menelik’s photos, typical classical
clinical symptoms and effects of regular alcohol consumption and abuses.

Why did Menelik jail the engineers
and what comes next
and what comes next
Coming back to solve the quiz from
previous writing (Part V). Why did Menelik order to jail Alfred Ilg and his
Friend Leon Chefneux? What crime
did they commit? and What was he going to do with them next?

If you did not find the nearest
answer to the quiz asked for the lists you noticed on a piece of paper or stored
in your virtual mind, there are no need
of shaking your head. So to say that you thought that you knew and knows, who
the Habeshas were, and whom they are, and the way their brain ticks. Because
your thought was logical, rational, the way health mind works. Stimulus or information
received, stored in the long or short memory of human brain extrapolates, analyzes,
sorts the facts from fictions and give the results. But, what Menelik did had
neither logical, rational or healthy, no one can understand unless one suffers
from schizophrenia or drunk indeed.

Paul Hartlmaier, the Author of the
book: Amba Ras: Eine Reise Durch Das
Kaiserriesch Äthiopien, published in 1953, Frankfurt am Main, courtesy to the author described what exactly
happened on that day in the dirty, hot Hut the were jailed. A thunder falls on
the two Ferengi on that day that leaves
its scar life long. After keeping the engineers in isolated dirty hot Hut, guarded
with his Zebenya’s, (gun carriers), Menelik gave an order through his Askers (servicemen)
to the engineers to make a pair of shoes within twenty-four hours, providing them with Hides, Knife, Thread and Awl as a
raw materials and tools to make pair of Shoes. Slap in the faces of the white engineers! One can Imagine, what a shock may
have his sordid acts induced in the minds of the “civilization missioners” and
what was going on in their mind. The engineers who called him;“his
Majesty the King of the King.” In fact, the knew that Menelik, Smallpox spotted
rubber black skin warlord, primitive murderer, cattle raider, slave entrepreneur,
barbaric genocider and ethnocider who has no comparative African-born person in
the history of the African continent.That must indeed be the uncomfortable
truth that should rings in their mind at this circumstance.
May he acts like Tewodros who captured six British citizens that led to war or
the worst option they may be killed like the others , and there was no grant for
not to be killed at this minute. In other words, so far Abyssinians nature of
cultural upbringings, norms, behavior, manners, etc, were well known within and
in abroad in treating the others, like chopping Arms and Legs of Men, killing
by hanging, her standard signature in her “history” to the very date. As an
Oromo adage:Booftii fi raachi hama gannii

Once the order and the time were
fixed, The fate of the Engineers would be decided within the coming twenty-four.
The next second shock prevailed from where to start to make the shoes. As a reminder,
an Engineer in Menelik’s know-how was a man who can all, and Alfred Ilg had
adjusted himself to it during his decades of his service and gave all. Thus, why
not he orders them to make a pair of shoes be proofed, and reproofed, for their engineering know-how, according to Menelik’s intelligence test.

The question that was still left unanswered
by any standards of, any person with healthy mind was
what did a rubber black demon; Menelik, who can not read and write his own language
wanted the European engineers to prove? Does railroads were constructed of
animal hides in the world of Menelik, and as a whole what was all about this farce? Whatever the hell was going in the hut at the spot, so far there was
no alternative for the captive fernjes
except searching the way out of the jail, or the hell. Looking at what they possess
at hand, they must begin someway, somehow, and from somewhere else, the time
was ticking against them. They finally began to take off their own shoes to win the profile and trim
the hides, and worked on it for the whole night without sleeping, sweating like a
pig in the hot summer season in Finfinne in the dirty
small hut.

pig in the hot summer season in Finfinne in the dirty
small hut.
The next day both the engineers presented
their shoe to be judged by Menelik and public audience. One can easily image,
how many were they in number. Although the shoes were not elegant, Menelik accepted
it smiling, what a relief for the engineers, they passed Menelik’s Intelligent
Test and he signed the consensus of railway construction contract on 14th
February 1892 (Yekatit 5, 1885 in Coptic Calender). Once the consensus signed by Menelik the engineers
must search for the company to finance
their project. Three years later, in January
1896 the Duparchy &Vigouroux Company signed the deal with a price of
hundred thousand francs per kilometer.Three-fourth to be paid cash at hand and
the rest as an obligatory to be paid through times.

The company also paid hundred
thousand francs to Menelik extra as a gift in return to the consensus signed.
The company further began to monopolize another business in the area of mining
gold such in Wal’laga, coal production, salt, telegraph etc, in various regions
of occupied and secured territories. From
1894 to 1895 alone handles between France and Menelik that reached thirty-five
million francs in France surprised the Europeans next to Leopold II of Belgium Congo’s
profit. The fact stimulated the establishment and constitutionalization of the
later called “Compagnie Imperiale-Ethiopienne” in short CIE in 1896. The railroad construction began in 1897 from Finfinne toward the
southeast red sea coast. As it has been in the past, tons of steel and other heavy metals required for railroad construction were also carried
by slave hands and their shoulders. Statistics proved that about 60 % the
slaves were Oromos in each and every place of constructions. Once the railroad construction
had reached Laga Hawaas “River Awash” crossing the Karrayyu Oromoland, there
was something unusual happened in a normal sense, but not in Menelik sense. As
the spin engineer went to report his success from Finfinne to Laga Hawaas and
is going to begin to construct a bridge over Laga Hawaas, Menelik stopped the
construction of the Laga Hawaas. Nightmarish for the engineers and the French company.
Why did he stop the construction of the Bridge?

Why did he stop the construction of the Bridge?
Apropos, bridge constructions and both men! At the beginning of his services next Alfred Ilg began to build houses, streets, for Menelik and settlers following him in a tempo. During the rainy seasons there were at least three moths of disconnection between Intootoo where first Alfred built his hut and live and served Menelik, and his area of his project to build house or fabrics, because of the Rivers flowing across Shagar that springs from Tuulamaa highland toward the south like Laga Qabaana were a natural barriers and there were no means of crossing the rivers from one side of the river bank to its opposite side of the bank. The Rainy season was the hibernation period for Menelik and his settler troops,while it was and still is the hardest working seasons of the years for the vast majority of the Agricultural Nations incarcerated in the Empire. There were no word called bridge in the vocabulary of Menelik, let alone to have one in real. It was strange as Alfred Ilg Itself. Ones Alfred Ilg proposed to solve this problem and brought his model, to begin with, the construction of bridges to be anointed by Menelik, but not disgraced or belittled, Menelik took the model and crash it with his hand, and laughed at Alfred Ilg. That sent a message, if I can crash it with my hand, how can it carry my whole body and my troops, plundered resources and live animals across the river. Menelik and his nearest warlords and his wife also considered that was “evil man's duty, no one built a bridge on air,” and there were no needs of spilling out money to the river itself to build a bridge on Air.
Alfred Ilg was known for his obsinancy, he built the second model and brought back to Menelik again. Menelik crashed it again. One may easily guess what were going on Menelik’s and Alfred’s Mind at this spot. One can also understand how difficult it may be to explain what “Model” mean to Menelik and his servants around him. It was also understandable that Alfred's models were made of fragile materials as what models were supposed to be, but not for Menelik. Alfred did not give up. He rather built the third model, and again brought back to Menelik, but at this time he can not break it with his hands and no one can laugh at him and make slurs “evil ferji, etc, ) at Alfred. Menelik shook his head, showed him smiling and gave the consensus to build the bridges in Finfinne to cross from one bank of the river to the opposite side of the bank of the river.
The stopping order of constructing
the bridge on the Hawaas River given by Menelik was ridiculous that no health
brain may think of it. He stopped the project as he heard it from his Bitweded,
and claimed that the railway construction consensus contract
signed in February 1892 after their arrests, passed Menelik’s Intelligence test
(MIT) by making pairs of shoes stated
that the railroad construct consensus he
signed was to build on the ground; vehicles
run on the surface, but not on air: a bridge.
In fact, that was Menelik’s invention, a
diabolic lie, little different from Waachaale because Alfred was an in his said
and his architect in that issue. One must not undermine the role of Tiyatu’s and
her influence as she was the strongest opposition to the
railway construction project from the very begging and the warlords around Menelik in inventing
false reasoning to achieve the goals they planned in their mind as it has
always been by Abyssinia warlords.

The fact speaks another language
that can be read from the Amharic version attached below if it showed up in the
document. Never mind, the filter product from it debris what one must know is
here in original Amharic version written in Latin script reads: “…Ye xiis
seregelaan be Hageree lemaaqom le Muusee Alfred Ilg sexiichalu, Qen, Yekaatiti
5, 1885,” when translated into English, it roughly means “…the
consensus of building steam locomotive was given to Muusee Alfred IlG, Date, 14th
of February, 1892.” Thus, there were neither “ Midr or Meret (Surface or
Land) nor Ayer (Air) stated in the contract he signed to build the rail. The
stopping of the railway project was not
