His Majesty Haile Selassie is father of African independence, and like Abraham Lincoln, he was a champion to abolish slavery. His spirit lives for ever!

U know I have never seen a King like him for Ethiopia and I don’t expect such a leader for Ethiopia in the future too. In his time people of Ethiopia lived peacefully and without any harassment all over the country. He was really elected by God. I don’t think that in the future we get such a leader in Ethiopia. All the people in his time was lucky to have him as a king. I am proud of him. He was the father of Africa and contributed a lot to this country to have such a modern shape. He is the one who encouraged the youth to go to school and gave Ethiopian a chance to learn abroad and introduce Ethiopia to the world. In fact, I don’t have enough word to explain him but he was the father of Ethiopia and Africa, too. I love him a lot.
WOW! He had lions! Now I have Something for global history!!! thats so cool!!!1

This brother and King was in the bloodline of King David, King Solomon and Jesus also called the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
