"I have no intention of being an indifferent looker-on whilst distant European Powers have the idea of dividing up Africa, for Ethiopia has existed for fourteen centuries as an Island of Christians in the middle of a sea of pagans. I trust that God, who has protected Ethiopia until this day, will henceforth protect and increase her, and I have no fear that He will divide her and give her away to other nations."
Emperor Menelik II's general address to various European powers, 10 April 1891.
