It seems that the author wants to obscure the fact that, before Italians, the land was under the crown of the Ethiopian Empire. The Italians managed to encroach the area from the shores of the red sea because the seat of the empire was moved southwards to Addis Ababa. That made it logistically to liberate that land which was occupied by the Italians. The Italians moved southwards to increase the size of their new colony. That time they were defeated at the battle of Adwa. However, the Ethiopian emperor of the time failed to get rid them off the northern region. The Italians then christened their new colony as Eritrea and stayed there for 50 years. For me, this article is politically tainted perhaps with the desire of conjuring a glorious past for the newly independent country Eritrea.
