By increasing his dominions at the expense of the Gallas, he still further roused the jealousy of the northerners, and a treaty which he concluded with Ras Ali against Kassa in 1850 determined the latter to crush him at the earliest opportunity.
Thus it was that in 1855 Kassa, under the name of the emperor Theodore, advanced against Shoa with a large army.
He obtained several victories over that people, ravaged their country, took possession of Magdala, which he afterwards made his principal stronghold, and.enlisted many of the chiefs and their followers in his own ranks.

 Exquisite Corpse - A Journal of Letters and Life
Meanwhile, Ménélik continued to send reinforcements from Shoa, followed by multitudes of slaves, while the number of Abyssinians actually in Harar probably numbered about 12,000, of which 4000 were riflemen armed with guns of all types, from Remingtons to flint-locks.
Whereas one arrives in Shoa by the Danakil road only after a journey of 50 to 60 days through a terrifying wasteland amidst a thousand dangers, Harar, in the foothills of the Ethiopian meridional mountains, is separated from the coast only by a distance easily traversed in fifteen days by caravan.
One mustn't forget that patriotic sentiment does exist in Shoa, and with Ménélik as ambitious as he is, it's impossible that he sees neither honor or advantage in listening to the advice of strangers.

 NJ Jewish News | Shoa remembrance: Culture of life, or cult of death?
The enemies of the idea of an ethical God, and the enemies of the Jewish people, are those individuals, groups, countries, and civilizations whose ideas and actions deny human dignity and serve a cult of death.
In seeking to affirm the value of memory around the Shoa, the Jewish people have crossed inadvertently over the line separating life-affirming civilizations from cults of death.
We need a moratorium on Shoa education, on new Shoa exhibits and museums, and we must scale back what already exists in order to make room for the true essence of Judaism and the Jewish people to shine.

Holocaust Memorial Day (27th January) is an opportunity to reflect on what Europe lost through the Shoa.

The Shoa wreaked havoc with that diversity, deeply wounding civil society in Europe.
