Any of you out there have parents or grandparents that saw Bob at the Gihon 1978? I'd love to hear stories if anyone did
He visited Wondo Genet and Shashemane, I've seen any photos but not heard any stories from.the Gihon
Why would the Derg let someone like him come?
He got in illegally, through Kenya if I’m not mistaken
How would he even get past all those people? On top of that he was taking pictures there
This was the 70s, you could do that now let alone back then. He asked for a visa but got denied I believe. As for the pics, this was film photography not digital, they could have taken their time to print, it’s not like he posted right away.
I mean the Derg was eliminating any traces of support for the monarchy I just find it surprising the most known supporter of it internationally would just be able to get past all those people seeing as he was so recognizable
I highly doubt he was recognizable to country folk in the late 70s. This was well before his face was plastered everywhere.
Wasn't he in the city when this picture was taken?
What picture? It's not showing for me. Honestly I don't know any context about any of this lol
Wow I did not know he even went to Ethiopia!
