There are a lot of bad things we heard about Atse haile selasse, We grew with a kind of negative
feelings, When we were tenner, derg was propagating about Atse haile selasse as if he was a devil.
I remember some photographs which have been associated atse haileselasse like a monkey, a kind of photo as a Wilde animal. it was a shocking experience to me . Atse haile selasse for me he was a respected emperor.it was untolerable to see the emperor with this type of photos. i use to get money when he was coming to visit gofa soldiers' camp. He has given us one Ethiopian dollar, for each child, when we hear that atse haile selasse is coming, we use to stop playing football or what ever but we use to run directly to atse haile selasse, he used to give us a dollar
I remember a very tall guards surrounding him, when he give us the money , automatically they use to push us far away from the emperor.It was considered a blessing getting money from him.
Most of the time, after we got the money we used to buy a foot ball , at that time there was a plastic ball , which was good for us, it was a great thing to have that ball , a kid who has got that ball was considered as a privileged one.
After that derge was downplaying what atse haile selasse did for his country , Nevertheless át this time i want to write about the positive contributions of the emperor to his mother land.
once, when i attended a course, in the course i learnt some thing special, the teacher told us that our brain .or in our memories in our brain , we use to hear 80% the negative things that had happened in life, like what we lost, the bad things that had happened in life will come to our mind, the rest 20% we hear the positive things which had happened in life, like our success in life, our good things.Individuals who have been trained or accustomed in hearing or charging the positive feelings or messages in their brain , in life they would be successful .Most of the time media reveals the negative news in order to capture an attention. negative news like war, hunger, crime and so on. here
What are the positive things atse haileselasse did to his country;Atse haile selasse was the first emperor who has introduced a constitution to Ethiopia, at the same time he has established parliaments . In a country where feudalism was dominant.,introducing a constitution to the society was a big deal
The Emperor had established different schools , modern education had been spread in Ethiopia during his time, he gave his palace to university, in the university , he used to encourage and motivate students .he tried to enlightened his nation
Haile selasse was a very good diplomat, Ethiopia has been a respected place in the world politics, he managed to promote Ethiopia positively
during the second world war , when he was in exile, he was a voice of the voiceless, his exile government was functioning very good, he exposed Mussolini and the fascist Italians in the league of nation, His famous speech is still remembered by a lot of peoples,He was like a prophet , what he has fore casted had happened.
Atse haileselasse was having a success story in the growth of Ethiopian economy, at his time the GDP was plus , he was having one of the best ministerial council, his minsters were a well educated and articulated individuals.
The emperor has managed to en corporate Eritrea to the mother land Ethiopia, He worked and lobbied to get back Eritrea to Ethiopia, at his time Ethiopia enjoyed a rule of law and a peace full nation.
At last not least the emperor was one of the establishers of African unity , he was considered as a father of Africa, because of his contribution and the history of Ethiopia as a symbol of freedom and resistance against colonialism , Ethiopia became the heart or capital of Africa
These are some of atse haileselasses' contribution to our beloved nation
