definitely a hero for his triumph against Mussolini...as wid all heroes, they can have flaws ...so i would cawl him a tragic hero...i have always been disappointed wid his apparent disconnect from the people during the infamous famine of years gone by...now, i treat him as the tragic hero in that time period...afta all he was ole and the line between him an the reality of wat was going awn in Ethiopia could have been blurred by all the functionaries inbetween

sell out?...too strong a description...totally not the term </div></div>

what does this mean? nothing else in your post refers to speakers of arabic and how selassie's actions put a stop to their spread.

mi realize seh yu corn mash but really, it's quite vexing when you fling out these accusations. it's quite possible for people to critically look at selassie without automatically it being a bigging up of mzungu culture.

exactly how did he 'sell out'?
where is africa right now?
selassie not there to sell out, so where is africa's greatness?
or jamaica's for that matter...
why are we bunin fire on our own who opened up ways for us...

The Essence of Power
&quot;The power which you possess is but one side of the coin; the other is responsibility. There is no power or authority without responsibility, and he who accepts the one cannot escape or evade the other. Each one of you and each servant of the Ethiopian nation and people would do well to ponder these words, to take them to his heart, and to guide his conduct in accordance with their teachings. This is the challenge which faces you today. Let your labours here during the coming year demonstrate your capacity to meet it. May Almighty God guide and assist you in your work.&quot;

selassie pon religion

&quot;Therefore, it has become the noble responsibility of Christians, and peoples of other faiths and their leaders throughout the world, to pray and to work hard for the preservation of world peace.

We have always been religious, ever since childhood, ever since the day our father, Ras Makonnen, taught us the commandment of Our Lord the Creator.

<span style="font-weight: bold">But we don't consider our religion alone valid and have granted the people the freedom to observe any religion they please.</span>

We believe in the reunification of the churches, which is why we were so happy to meet Pope Paul VI during our voyage to Italy. We were greatly taken with him, we judged him a man of superior capacity, especially as regards his intention to work towards church unity. He received us with great friendliness. &quot;

Selassie was considered the Saddam Hussein of the time: blown out of all proportion of course: 'Ethiopia is a threat to western democracy, to our way of life...' etc.
