Many people won't be aware of Italy's
invasion of Ethiopia in 1895, but one man doesn't just know about the
battle - he claims to have lived through it.
Retired farmer Dhaqabo Ebba, from Ethiopia, says he is a staggering 160 years old, which would make him the world's oldest living man.
He claims to have clear memories of Italy's invasion of his country in the 19th century - however, there is no birth certificate to prove his age.
In a statement to Oromiya TV, he provided so much detail on the history of his local area that reporter Mohammed Ademo became convinced that Mr Ebba must be at least 160 years old.
