Sit Nomine Digna 1979, the year the fruit basket of Africa fell. Rhodesia has surged back into the world’s imagination. Its story brief yet blisteringly intense still grips those who study moments when nations stand against the tide of history. Admired by some, feared by others, Rhodesia’s legacy refuses to fade quietly. Nonetheless, it’s very existance has left an impact impossible to ignore. Many observe unsettling echoes between Rhodesia, modern South Africa and the whole of the wider western world to some extent. Others are drawn by its raw, indelible imagery: young men, far from their native lands in dust-worn sneakers and sun-bleached shorts, rifles slung at their sides, riding out across unforgiving terrain to confront forces that dwarfed them in number without any other support that their own men could volunteer to give. It was a struggle fought with a kind of reckless courage that becomes legend. A tale reminiscent of the epics of the ancients. Though Rhodesia fell, it did so in a blaze that ensured it would not simply vanish from memory. Its rise, its struggle, and its final stand remain carved into the story of southern Africa, worthy to carry it’s name and worthy to have it’s story carved in stone for us to honor. #fyp #parati #History #africa #britishempire#rhodesia #edit #rome #onze #onzemovement #onzecorev - @thegrecophile0
