An Eritrean ascaro tortured and killed by Abyssinian troops; he was clearly tortured and slaughtered.
Cruelty episodes were very common during this war (also the ascari preferred not to take prisoners, when the Italian officers could not stop them), worsened by ancient hates between Ethiopians an Eritreans wich unfortunatly, more or less, still last nowdays.

US declares war

Mutilations and fury against the body this Italian soldier killed by the rebels (the official Italian definition of the Ethiopian patriots-partisans-bandits after the official end of the Italo-Ethiopian war). The photo, as it's written on, was taken by the centurione (=black shirts captain) L. Vienna on december 27 XIV (= 1937). DVX
