SIDDIST KILO
Monument commemorating the Italian army's bloody reprisals against the Ethiopian population on February 19, 1937.
The monument in the square on 12 Yekabit (Ethiopian calendar) commemorates the Italian army's bloody reprisals against the Ethiopian population, specifically the wave of repression that followed the attempted grenade attack on General Graziani, governor under Italian occupation. This act, committed on February 19, 1937, was followed by a veritable bloodbath in the capital. The violence of this tragedy, expressed in the raw expressionism of the bronze sculptures, is truly poignant.
