President of Ethiopia Haile Selassie
Haile Selassie was a great person to all Ethiopians. He was born July 1892 in, Ejersa Goro, Ethiopia. He was a respected crowed emperor in 1930 but he was exiled during world war II after leading the resistance to the Italian invasion. Haile Selassie was the 225th and the last emperor serving Ethiopia from 1930 until he was overthrow by the Marxist dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam in 1974. There was a quot that Haile Selassie said it went something like "throughout history it has been the inaction of those who could have acted the indifference of those who should have known better the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most that has made it possible for evil to triumph". To be honest I have no idea what that quot means but that quot had helped Ethiopians in there hard times. He ruled Ethiopia for four decades. 1936 Was the year that he was forced into exile after the Italians invaded Ethiopia. It was told that he became the face of the resistance as he went before the League of Nations in Geneva for assistance and eventually secured the help of the British in reclaiming his country and reinstituting his power as emperor in 1941. It was sad to say that Haile Selassie died to the effects of a prostate operation he underwent two month before his death. He died August 27 1975 in, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia at the age of 83. I believe that Haile Selassie lived his life to his intent and I wish to do something great like him. If you had a chance to do something great like him would you?

Why was he exiled for fighting against the Italians? It is really sad that he died. But it`s good that he regained power.
