The will of a nation cannot be broken, no matter how long it takes, at the end their will prevails. Therefore, the Benishangul People’s dream to be independent will soon be a reality, it does not matter what you want and think, what is matter for us is what we want, and how we would like to achieve it.
Colonization is not a thing to be proud of because it occurs after aggression, pressure, invasion and conquest. In fact many people die during colonization conquest that makes most of us to believe that colonizers commit genocide with no remorse. However colonization is different from one country to another in certain ways, take for Example Hong Kong under British colony, the island has prospered, everyone get good education, received a good healthy system, equal opportunities and above all democracy, and another example that shows the good side of the western colonization in Africa is Sudan, the British policies in Sudan contributed significantly in abolishing slavery, creating a good governing system, which makes us believe that many countries were better off under European colonization, that does not necessarily mean we support the European colonization, but we would like to be objective and fair, as there is a dark side for being colonized, there is some advantages too, and if we weigh both we believe the advantages of civilized nation’s colonies are far more than disadvantages, because being colonized by a civilized nation is much better than being subjugated and oppressed by a primitive, backward, brutal and savage third world country such as Abyssinia (Fake Ethiopia)
