This rare broadside, explaining the current situation in Abissyinia, was published in Warsaw in mid 1930s as a part of pre WW II campain, warining agains the agressors.

Italians in Abyssinia
The Italian occupation of Abyssinia started after the colonial war between October 1935 and May 1936, resulting in Italian occupation of the country.
Italy and Ethiopia were at the time both member nations and yet the League was unable to control Italy or to protect Ethiopia, when Italy violated Article X of the Covenant of the League of Nations in 1935. During the attack Italy used sulfur mustard in chemical warfare. In the same year Selasie appealed to the League of Nations, delivering an address that made him a worldwide figure.
Haile Selassie returned to Ethiopia from England to help rally the resistance and in 1941 the British began the invasion of Abyssinia with the help of Ethiopian freedom fighters. The Italian resistance surrendered in November 1941.
"Hii broadside nadra, kueleza hali ya sasa katika Abyssinia, ilichapishwa katika Warsaw katikati ya 1930 kama sehemu ya kampeni ya kabla ya Vita Kuu ya Pili, ""kuonya dhidi ya aggressors.""" "Kama ilivyoelezwa katika taarifa ya awali, ""Liga Obrona Powietrzna i Przeciwgawowa"" (Liga ya Ulinzi wa Hewa na Kemikali) ni chama cha kijeshi cha Kipolishi kilichoanzishwa mwaka 1928." Katika mwaka wa 1939, LDPP iliandaa maandamano makubwa dhidi ya Ujerumani katika miji kadhaa ya Poland. Italia ilishinda Abyssinia mnamo Oktoba 1935 na Mei 1936 na kuifanya kuwa sehemu ya nchi ya Italia. Hata hivyo, Umoja wa Mataifa haukuweza kuupinga Italia au kuulinda Ethiopia wakati Italia ilipovunja kifungu cha 10 cha Mkataba wa Jumuiya ya Mataifa mwaka 1935. Wakati wa shambulio hilo Italia ilitumia haradali ya sulfuri katika vita vya kemikali. Mwaka huohuo, Selassie aliitikia ombi la Ushirika wa Mataifa, akitoa hotuba iliyomfanya awe mtu mashuhuri ulimwenguni pote. Haile Selassie alirudi Ethiopia kutoka Uingereza kusaidia kukusanya upinzani na mwaka 1941 Waingereza walianza uvamizi wa Abyssinia kwa msaada wa wapiganaji wa uhuru wa Ethiopia. Waitaliano walipiga kura na kujisalimisha Novemba 1941.
