Last emperor of Ethiopia: Haile Selassie's legacy remain divisive • FRANCE 24 English

Considered by some to be the greatest moderniser of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie is also the man who let his people starve to death during several major famines. The story of Selassie, who was overthrown in a 1974 coup, was consigned to the dustbin of history for years before renewed interest in 2019. Our reporters retraced his controversial legacy.

I am Eritrean. My grandfather is 102. I grew up being told that it was a great time during Haile Slassie, without undermining any challenges or mistakes that existed at the time. We can not judge a 60 year old leadership based on current period. All must be seen in the context of its time. My narrative and understanding will never be broken by the European neo-liberal colonialists. History must be told by the very people who own the history. Haile Slassie promoted Education and awarded so many scholarships at the time. Education was one of the best in his time. The decolonization of the mind is required.

France's corrupt leader, along with the UN/Nato forces , Hillery and Obama , undermined and overthrew Gadaffi, of whom might have been thought a terrorist dictator, but had renounced terrorism, shook Obama's hand, and got backstabbed for being more open with European countries. Some of the things that did not make the news previously were than Gadaffi (not sure of the correct spelling as I have seen his name spelled several different ways) ... preferred living simply , even in a tent, over having a massive, ornate palace, used oil revenues to grant government services to his people (unlike other always will fail socialist schemes), upgraded the land with a network of efficient canals, was going to mint gold coins for a monetary standard, and sought as a goal, to bring the living standards for all of Africa to be raised up.

I agree with Joe that there should no longer be monarchies in this day and age. As an Ethiopian, I agree with Hile Selassie when we pushed towards catching up with the times. DEMOCRACY is important!!!! He had to fight with the Nobality in order to educate his people, that is what monarchy does, keep people down so the ritch and powerful are the only once in charge. As we say in the 21st century, "no taxation without representation"!!!!!

There's a UN Declaration in the Rights of Peasants (UNDROP)that passed in 2018. A peasant is not quite the same as a farmer, it specifically means small-scale or subsistence farmers who are often tenants of landlords. It's also the official translation of the Spanish word "campesina". In India the term peasant is often used in English without any negative connotation. There's an International Peasants Movement that proudly use that name. I think it's just in the West where there are traditional peasantry anymore that the word is derogatory.

There were many kings in the Abyessinian period. Haile Sellassie just benefited from the timing of being born in that time. Menelik concentrated power out of circumstance. Yohaness the IV the Neguse Negast died in battle in defending the East Africa from becoming a Italian colony. Menilik was his successor. A lot of people do not speak of this historical fact.

For those being critical of this video (western media), as Africans, we shouldn't minimize the story of the people in this video either. They are sharing the man-caused famine they personally went through. We can't just deny this just because it's a western media. Yes, we should always be critical of who made the video, but we should also take the stories of native/ genuine people into consideration as well.

There is also a statue of him in Richmond Park, South West London. He also resided in London's Europa Hotel which was owned by a prominent British Jew Sir Michael Joseph in 1974. The Hotel was sighted on Grosvenor Square adjacent to the US Embassy. It was attacked by the PLO who had their sights on the EL AL Israeli cabin crew that frequently resided there. One can still see the bullet holes in its facade. One of his descendants was living amongst a Rastafarian community in Manchester, England a while back.

From among many of his contributions; Emperor Haile Selassie did not steal money from the Ethiopian people; Emperor Haaile Selassie did not make Ethiopia land locked, Emperor Haile Selassie did not propagate tribalism and ethnic conflicts. Emperor Haile Selassie did not take land away from the Ethiopian people. Almost all the primary and secondary schools, and the first two Universities in Ethiopia started during Emperor Haile Selassie's time. Emperor Haile Selassie founded the 1st Airline (EAL) in Africa. He founded Harar Military SAcademy; the Ethiopian Navy and The Ethiopian Airforce. At least the airport in Addis and the University, should retain their original name: Haile Selassie Airport; and Haile Selassie University. He was a God fearing inspiring leader for us and humanity by large.

First he stole by doing high tax from Ethiopian do u homework. 2) ethiopia was land locked alway had, when eritera joined ethiopia it joined as federation controlled by its own government party,police,solder so on like hong kong. 3rd) hailer Selassie destroyed eritera by forcing to be part of ethiopia controlled in his hand leading to 35y war started by him only ended with eprdf 18% of ethiopia GDP was wasted in milltary wepion. 5) majority wanted ethnic feddalism but Hailer rejected and start creating amhara settlement,famines,booming , high tax, reject other faith outside Orthodox & languages. Why do u think majority supported derg when derg killed him ' took over because they where helping for demrocey. Why do u think eritera celebrated in 1993 when it came independent because they never where part of ethiopia. Hailer Selassie brought more nightmare then peace.

The Western powers do not want Africans to remember and honor the Emperor and His principles, since that would help make us proud and stronger. That is why they have produced this propaganda piece, pretending to be an unbiased look. They are basically calling H.I.M. a mad man without saying those words. On one hand they show that He built so many progressive and humanitarian institutions yet they claim that such an enlightened person would purposefully allow His countrymen to starve. They will get their reward soon enough.
