HAYLE SELASSIE
Haile Selassie was born on July 23th of 1892. He was a descendant of the solomonic dynasty. He was regent from 1916 to 1930 and after that he was the emperor until 1974. He died on 1975.
Haile Selassie is still on the mind of many Ethiopians, the people that remember him speak mainly with respect and love. He is considered a national hero defending the country from the Italian incursion.
In Africa he have hat an important role creating the Africa Union and defending the independence of the African countries when they were under colonialism.
In Jamaica, the Rastafarian comunity consider him as the returned messiah of the bible, as God incarnate, and they base their religion on the figure of Haile Selassie (before to be emperor his name was ras Tefari Mekonnen).
He loved the lions as you can see in the picture below, and the lion was a part of his flag. In Addis Abeba is still possible to see the descendants of the Haile Selassie Lions in the Anbessa gebi.
