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!

This is from Seyoum Tadesse.

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.
