I don't know him well, but I've always had an appreciation for Ethiopia and him. Korea was torn apart by ideologies and the struggle for supremacy between the great powers, but he sent imperial guards to Korea while sympathizing with the pain of the country being invaded, not with ideology and benefit.( he appealed to the international community for Mussolini's unfair and brutal invasion of Ethiopia, but no country helped Ethiopia, and because of that experience, Koreans learned that he helped Korea for that reason even though he did not know Korea well.) They fought very bravely in korean war. They've never been defeated and lost, even in a foreign country which is very different environments and climates from their home country they created an orphanage for war orphans I want Ethiopia to become incredibly wealthy. Sending love from Korea Ethiopia is my favorite africa country. Thank you king

[@tonihazle2034]

When I lived n Ghana long ago, Haile Selassie made an official visit and we often saw him driving by with Kwame Nkrumah to cheering crowds. I sat close behind the pair of them for several hours at a military display but alas, just out of earshot so we could not hear their conversation - but they appeared to get on very well and laughed a great deal. He seemed such a pleasant character and I have always admired him greatly. This film has made me think again - but, on reflection, I think I will stick to my original opinion, it was so much nicer!!

[@Kamadev888]

Western documentaries about African leaders, especially if they pose negative opinions of them, are often of doubtful accuracy, and generally at least slightly motivated by European/US political propaganda.

[@babasaho5787]

Kwame Nkrumah was friends with anyone who was against imperialism.

[@babajideanimashaun693]

I feel you. It would be good to also consider the realities of that era when weighing the new information on him. I think that as much as he wanted political and economic progress for the country, he was aware of the cons and bureaucratic delays that a completely democratic structure would present, and then there's the natural reluctance and difficulty inherent in completely changing a centuries old system. Of course, there's also the high that absolute or near absolute power delivers. It seems like he just always tried to play his best hand without being too rigid or seeming weak. Try contrasting him with people like Idi Amin, Robert Mugabe, and Mobutu Sese Seko that were complete psychos.

[@FierceEQueen]

With all do respect to my Ethiopian sisters and brothers Haile Selassie was a ruthless leader disguised as devoted christian. For many decades still to this day many ethiopians and i am sure many who know Haileselassie do not know his dark side, what he has done to Eritreans just because we are who we are, he has committed mass murder, publically and privately , he hated my people, many souls got hanged, slaughtered, buried alive even got killed in front of their families and children. He even said in his public speech" We don't want the people, we just want the land". I always find it crazy, why a leader with such a large beautiful country would want our land, i do know now but whatever the reason , he didn't have to be so cruel, with love so much could have been done. As a famous Ethiopian historian said during the Ethipian Conflict in the late 90's and early 2000's , history is written by those who win and are in control, many of my Ethiopian brother and sisters will not like this comment but i believe in God, i am a christian and i am only speaking the truth and unveiling evil. He is not the only one who oppressed my people, it's other countries too but they did not commit the level of crime that he and his successor communist and fascist leader Mengistu Hailemariam have committed. The name haileselassie is a name he gave himself which means power of the trinity, the only one who posseses that power is only the creator. Many leaders and popular people on this earth present themselves as saviors for only people to start idolizing them some knowingly and some unknowingly because they are lured into their ideology. Ethiopian has very rich history, and i know Ras Teferri has played in political roles that excelled ethiopia and help recognize around the world, it also has beautiful landscapes, i seen it when i and my family got deported during the 90's conflict, I got many ethiopian friends and family friends but it's time for the truth to be spoken. Much love and respect to you all.

In my opinion, Emperor Haile Selassie was the best for Ethiopia! No one can be perfect but he tried his best to modernise Ethiopia and introduce Ethiopia to the whole wide world! Very wise holy man and highly diplomatic! Look at Ethiopia after the vicious Derg overthrow the monarchy & denying everything what The Emperor did for Ethiopia! Since Derg took over & right up to now, Ethiopia is still bleeding! It got worse and worse to the point people are fleeing from Ethiopia in their thousands! Only a handful of people are happy and those people are either they are working for the government or /and family members and relatives of the authorities! The majority of Ethiopians are suffering in their everyday life! Derg, TPLF and the current government killed so many innocent civilians of Ethiopia than the Emperor! He was much better of all the rest even if he has some faults as any other human beings! No one talks about his achievements like the Ethiopian Airlines, he gave his palace for the University , for his efforts to make Ethiopia a member of the league of Nations, for his struggles to unite the Africans and subsequently OAU was born ( now AU), for making Ethiopia a member of the U.N. etc Jah lives in our hearts forever!✊🏽 Let him rest in peace ☮️ with lots of ❤ ❤❤❤ God save Ethiopia 🇪🇹

Without a single exception, they said that life was better, at least in Addis Ababa and Jimma (Oromo kingdom). He was a great visionary, but also a man of his time, and in comparison with other African leaders, he was probably the best and most developed and liberal of the lot.

This documentary on Ras Teferi Mekonnen is well-researched and factual. Its objective and serious tone sets it apart from others I have seen. I’m impressed by how much information is presented in, say, the first 20 minutes, and by the attention to detail in presenting events accurately and without exaggeration. Historians have much to learn from this. I'd say this is the best possible way to present history. Because, as Paul Valéry quite vividly puts it, "History is the most dangerous product ever concocted by the chemistry of the intellect. It causes dreams, inebriates nations, saddles them with false memories … keeps their old sores running, torments them when they are not at rest, and induces in them megalomania and the mania of persecution." P.S. Liked. Subscribed. Enjoying the rest of your videos while waiting for more! ...Thank! You!

Excellent video. I think of Selassie just as the video covers it. A leader with courage, dedication and good intentions to start, but then who falls into the trap of having too much power over too long a time that corrupts the individual and leads to authoritarianism and repression. How many times have we witnessed this on this planet? However, I knew little about Selassie and this transition before seeing this video. I'd get bits of the problems in Eritrea but a news snippet never covered the history and reasons, only that 'the conflict, disease, and starvation' continue.

[@curtisthomas2670]

A little H.I.M. knowledge: H.l.M. Haile Selassie (ph) was one of very few modern monarchs or heads of state to partake in military combat whilst ruling. When the other League of Nations refused to come to Ethiopia's assistance when it was attacked by Italy, as per LON treaty, He gave a speech that predicted their failure to act against Italian aggression would soon see some of them shortly facing aggression themselves, which shortly came true when Italy, Germany and Japan began their warpaths. He was a founding member of the Organization of African Unity (predecessor to current African Union) and a strong Pan Africanist, provided the OAU with a headquarters in Addis Ababa and even paid the dues for several African nations, provided funding, training and refuge for many revolutionary groups fighting for independence and against colonialism in Africa, Asia, and the Americas (even the PLO and some Black Panthers trained in Ethiopia). Many ANC members and their families were given training and or asylum in Ethiopia and the Emperor supplied scholarships or funds for many of them to study in Ethiopia or Europe. A stirring speech He gave denouncing injustice and racism was used almost word for word as the lyrics to Bob Marley's revolutionary song "War". Despite His experience with the League of Nations, when South Korea was invaded by the North and the UN called on members to defend SK, Selassie provided troops from His own elite royal personal bodyguard units, the best in the Empire. They served as the Kagnew Battalions, alongside mostly US troops, in yearly rotations. They had a record of never losing any battle, none ever surrendered or were captured and they never left any bodies behind. Some NK soldiers believed they had mystical powers and feared them. After the Korean War "paused" the K Battalions served as peacekeeping forces for years. SK dedicated monuments to the KB in Addis Ababa and in S Korea.

In Haile selassie victory speech when he defeated the Romans: “ On this day which men of earth and angels in heaven could neither have foreseen nor known, I give thanks unutterable by the mouth of man to the living God who has enabled me to be present among you today’ How can Haile Selassie know what the angels and man could not forsee ??

Thank you for this very decent, educating and certainly interesting documentary.... Ethiopia is a fascinating country, with a very unique early christian history and a distinctive religious architecture.... Incidentally, I remember Emperor Haile Selassie, when I was a child in Europe and I confirm that he was a well liked and respected figure... It seems that after a good start, obviously beneficial for the development of his country, that he was eventually overwhelmed by difficulties, complexities and fatigue due to aging.... He certainly paid a heavy price for his mistakes and failures.

[@sisisisi6]

Thank you for this docu. It unpacks a lot of Ethiopia’s current conflicts. As an Eritrean, I think he was an evil, power hungry man. He did more damage than good. As they say, it’s not how you start, but how you finish. He failed in the end. And his failure is still affecting many Ethiopians and Eritreans till this day. He got what he deserved in the end.

I haven’t watched this yet but Haile had huge balls and loved dogs. I went to high school with one of his grandsons Bazzin Makkonen. Great man!

[@MaShcode]

This is true about dogs. Selassie bred what was since referred to as an African Chihuahua. They destroyed all his dogs after deposing him as emperor. A friends mom in the 70’s was a writer for SI and received a dog from Selassie as a gift shortly before he was deposed and killed. The dog, named Haile, was the only remaining Chihuahua and I was given the job of driving the dog to a breeder and then back to their summer home. At the time I had no idea of the dogs history. Haile successfully gave birth to a healthy litter. So I guess the breed continues?
