  • Colonialism Devours Itself

    The Waning of Françafrique

    by Gérard Prunier ...

    by Gérard Prunier, Éloi Ficquet ...
    When we think of Ethiopia we tend to think in cliches: Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, the Falasha Jews, the epic reign of Emperor Haile Selassie, the Communist Revolution, famine and civil war.
