Cannibals ?!
~ by Hénock Gugsa ~
There's a kind of a funny little story about Ethiopian soldiers in Korea during the war there in the early '50s. I know that you know Ethiopians have a predilection for raw meat. Well, it so happened that they came upon some unattended cow grazing in the field. So they caught it, quickly slaughtered it and gathered around and began to eat the meat raw. They were ravenous as they hadn't had raw meat for a long time ... they were slicing the meat and eating it right off their bayonets. It was a sight to behold !
In the meantime, a group of Chinese and North Koreans were approaching the encampment intending to make a surprise attack. But when they saw the Ethiopians happily gorging themselves on blood-soaked meat, the Asians shrieked with fright and scattered to the wind. Soon after that, it was said that the Koreans and the Chinese spread the word that the Ethiopians were cannibals and should be avoided rigorously ! 🤔🐮😂
