But it's kind of sad that he's dead and the real murderer of the Ethiopian monarchy, Mengistu Haile Mariam, is still alive.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353545006617415935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-25814665994627039042012-08-23T18:25:26.283-05:002012-08-23T18:25:26.283-05:00Coincidental, I had this on my "to do" l...Coincidental, I had this on my "to do" list for a while now but no one should shed any tears for Zenawi in my book. I would have more confidence if only the many, many people around the world who so revere and admire Haile Selassie would turn that energy toward restoring his descendants to the Ethiopian throne. In my experience there seems to be an unfortunate gap between the many who revere and even idolize the late emperor and the minority who actually work for the restoration of the Ethiopian Empire.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-81184523486659969992012-08-23T16:56:13.937-05:002012-08-23T16:56:13.937-05:00Is the timing of this piece intended or coincident...Is the timing of this piece intended or coincidental seeing as the prime minister, and ruler for the past twenty-one years, just died? He had quite the Stalinist credentials and was very clever in keeping the aid coming and western leaders happy while ruling with an iron fist.<br /><br />Very interesting as usual.<br />PeterPeter of Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331475019309810452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-59892061098724437482012-08-23T16:30:54.827-05:002012-08-23T16:30:54.827-05:00Haile Selassie is a truly fascinating man.

With him out of the picture, the Ethiopian monarchists might have a better chance at installing Selassie's grandson. That is, if we're lucky...Markohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01601740819464902353noreply@blogger.com
