On the day Addis Ababa was occupied, May 5, 1986, revolt was continuing all over. Mussolini was shaking with fear in Rome that the Ethio- plans would reconquer Addis Ababa. The Italian people were never informed about that and thought all was well," Graziani spoke in his own defence Guzeppe Bottal, Italian governor of for 4 hours before the Court ad Addis Ababa, left him among hostile Journed.
