Italian civil war, Can Ethiopia move into Italy's east African colonies

[walmart]

Say more united, radical, and stronger Italian far left leads to an Italian civil war in early 1920s

does Ethiopia have the ability to take and hold some or all of Italy's East African holdings

Ethiopia is capable of taking an Italian colony like Eritrea but holding on to it? I'm not sure - if Italy ends up going far-left, then Great Britain and France could support Ethiopia moving into Italian Eritrea as a counterpoint to the spread of Communism into Africa while going after Italian Somaliland.

If doesn't go far left what happens then

I’m not completely sure but if there’s support from the Great Powers, even if just to partition Eritrea, I can see Ethiopia taking the chance to invade.

Could Italy successfully retake Eritrea and maybe all of Ethiopia ?

If Ethiopia has annexed Eritrea, then I doubt that Italy can successfully retake their colony, much less the entirety of Ethiopia.
