King of Kings is a title that has been used by several monarchies and empires throughout history. It is broadly the equivalent of the later title Emperor. In the Africa continent, there were prreidents (i.e. Habib Bourguiba and Ben Ali (Tunisia), Husni Mubarak (Egypt), Muamar Qadafi (Libya), Haile Selassie (Ethiopia), Ziad Barre (Somalia) and others who said they are fathers of the nation and kings of the kings. But most of them died in a bad situation and by their own soldieries.

The way that, Habib Bourguiba (Tunisia), Qadafi (Libya), Haile Selassie (Ethiopia), Ziad Barre (Somalia) died are live example about positions and future of these leaders in their countries. Who believe that, Qadafi of Libya, Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, and others were killed by a simple person and in a simple way? These presidents were in the power more than 35 years, but skipped from their people and disappeared in somewhere in deserts or houses, and finally founded them hiding in a drain outside their normal places, where he and others had taken shelter after they lost people and power. This is a good example and clear message for Africa leaders, which is “you are not actual leaders but looters, you are rootless and hove relation with your people, and your askars are your killers. Therefore, do the best for your people or you will be killed by your askar”!

Hayal_Bahrigna, you are right. This is the future and something that all dictators will meet and face at the end of their lives.

Comrade Yakume/Obamajor,
Who said Haileselasse is a somali term? It is a pure Tigrayan name, or , you can call it an Axumite term 8) .
Some Gumames were shocked when Dergue Historians unraveled the Tigrayan(Tembeni) , authentic Axumite, origin of Haileselasse's adpoting father, Ras M ekonnen Weldemikel. We know of no one up to now who knows who the true biologic father of Tafari was . Worst yet, Gumames Desperately fabricated some Oromo guy called Gudissa as Mekonnen's father but real history proves Mekonnen's father is Weldemikael, A pure Tigrayan from Temben. Anf his name is telling, it is pure Tigrayan,and it is still very rare among Gumames leave alone Oromos to call themselves weldemikael . I think Gumames made this farcical fabrication coz they see Merara Gudissa with that sort of last name . Lady Semeremisraq is a typical Qomaxasayintian who fabricates such farcical bs.

Abel Qael, I appricete this contribution and thanks. But, let me have the followings:
Obama and Yakume are not one person. You can ask Elias. I didn’t say the name and person “Haile Selassie” is Somali, but the name “Haile Selassie” was given by Somali Shekh. I cannot say Haile Selassie was Tigray or Oromo, for two reasons; the way he acts and the language show that, he was Amhara!
Regarding the content and other points in your message, the Tigray / Amhara frogs in the forum (i.e. Oromo Queen and Belay aka Minilik, and EthioWarrior, etc) will confirm!

Abel Qael, There is not much know about Haile Selassie’s family and root. But, his mother Woizero Yeshimebet Ali is from Wollo (now Amhara, but history Oromo). Her name suggests that, she was possibly born a Muslim; Amhara or Oromo.

The important things are that, Ethiopia history and its leaders are not clear, and criticizing one clan or group or country is not solution. There are big role required by Ethiopians to correct the history of the country, apologize about these crimes and genocides against the humanity, and build good image and relationship of Ethiopians and Ethiopians with the other people and countries in the Horn of Africa.

Obo Yakume,Guchmawi is acting more Amharay( specially towards Tigray) than Haileselase did 50 years ago, does that make guchmawi an Amharay? You bet he is a perfect Gumame , and Of course , a 100 years from Now, Gumame fabricators will tell us that he was the best Amharay Prime minister of Ethiopia. Tedros was 3/4th Qimant and 1/4th Tigraway, but still, Gumames such as the QomaxaSayint lady SemiraMisraq now tell us that he was Amharay. By the way, it was Atse Yohannes who made amharic, instead of the historic Geez, to become Ethiopia's newest state language. Yohannes also created the Ethiopian tri-colored flag, albeit later on the order of the colors was reversed by Gumames, namely, Minilik . Yohannes also acquired a plot of land in Israel where we still have the famous Ethiopian Monastery in Jerusalem . Yohannes is the 1st Ethiopian Emperor who defeated foreign invaders and the 1st king in the world to die defending his beloved nation. Yohannes also created the 1st Federal Government in African history-- Yohannes elevated his loyal soldiers to kingship: the God son of Emperor Yohannes, Mohammed Ali of wello oromo, later christened as Mikael , became king of Wollo and most of Eastern Ethiopia; commander Adal(half Tigrian), later christened as Teklehaimanot , became king of Gojam and Western Ethiopia; and the traitor Sahlu of Ankober, later christened as Minilik, was given the kingship of Shoa and Enaharia. Look; Weloyes, Gumames & Gojames still pride themselves by invoking the names of Mikaek, Minilik &Teklehaimanot , but only thanks to Yohannes who lifted them from obscurity and made those guys to be worthy of something historically notables. Will the desciples of Abadula Gemeda , shiferaw Shigutie, Ayalew gobezie, etc, thak Guchmawi , much less Tigray or weyane, a 100 years from Now? Nahhhhhhhhhhhh! From past history, I say with capital letters, I Don't Think So!!!

Abel Qael, I am Abo, Ato or Abowamber, you have to bealive that. What do you mean with Guchmawi ? is that Gojam or what else which I don’t know? I agree with some issues about Atse Yohannes who was killed in Metema between Amhara and Sudan, but he was never the person who created Ethiopian flag, but he created Abyssinian Flag, and there are difference between Flag and meanings of Ethiopian and Abyssinian Flags? did you got this point? If not you will move to another article, which is expansions, occupation, and human rights abuses by Abyssinian

Regarding the content and other points in your message, the Tigray / Amhara frogs in the forum (i.e. Oromo Queen and Belay aka Minilik, and EthioWarrior, etc) will confirm! All people are in the mosques and will replay after Juma / Friday pray! However, you have good ideas about Ethiopia and talents to write. can you please share these things, so we can learn and also contribute to it?
