  • Though he died almost four decades ago, Haile Selassie's legacy remains strong and valid.
    "Faces of Africa" sought to unearth the events and memories of the man who dared to confront The League of Nations, now UN, pleading for their support in conquering the Italians who were preparing to attack Ethiopia.

    Finally an alternative view from what the media and some historical records in the past has presented to the rest of the world. We Africans need to cut some slack for some of our heroes despite their perceived or real human weaknesses. I love the pride in these beautiful people! Real African pride!

Having costly parties, drinking champagne even feeding his dogs with fine beef the same time not far from his palace kids walked The Street with biafra stormach. Its was more important for him to live in lyxury and killing anyone Who was a threath to his total power. Do You really think this man deserves respect? People need to know this! He was a dictator.

      2. He exported too much, because of this the civilians would have nothing.
      3. He didn't allow Freedom of Press and Speech, Protests were most of the time suppressed.
      4. He brutally suppressed Ethnic Nationalism, through plunderings and massacres.
      5. He didn't allow other languages than Amharic to be taught in school.
      6. He fucked the Education in Ethiopia since at the end of his reign (40 years) only 25% of the population could read and write.
      7. His Economy relied on Slavery (Haile Selassie being a Hypocrite at best).
      8. His Economy relied on Farmers (who made 80% of the population) who were heavily taxed by their Landlords, which lead to debts and loss of land, which would lead to poverty.

      Joepie De poepie having common ancestors doesn’t mean you’re the same or have the dam origins...for all I know Caucasians we’re genetically modified and who ever did it failed to replicate the melanin required to protect themselves from UV rays. I look at humans like big cats. You have lions, tigers, leopards, panthers etc. I’ve seen a half lion half tiger cub before, the reason it’s special is because nature knows it’s tribe, humans 99% of the time don’t.
      Also I’m probably wrong about the exact number but doesn’t DNA and fossils research say humans are 6 thousand years old or something like that, but we know humans have been around longer than that according to the age of curtain structures and paintings etc.
      I have no legitimate data to back this but something about the way white People operate in this world tells me their either the newest humanoid race or their a hybrid of some sort, They have somewhere between 3-8% Neanderthal DNA in them depending on each person. Africans who have no mixing in their bloodline are 100% homosapien. Just something to consider you know, i think the world would be a better place if we acknowledged our differences and embraced them all and cherish culture. Instead we have one race who forced their way to supremacy and then tells everyone else’s stories and history as if they were there for all of it.

    For people saying that Haile Selassie didn't achieve anything (etc), get your history right. Also, I would like to see how much progress you would be able to create in the shadow of two world wars, colonialism and global financial crisis.
    Key words: context, perspective, history.

      Oh, He DIDN'T achieve anything!
      1. He didn't allow a Parlament, which made him a Dictator.
      2. He exported too much, because of this the civilians would have nothing.
      3. He didn't allow Freedom of Press and Speech, Protests were most of the time suppressed.
      4. He brutally suppressed Ethnic Nationalism, through plunderings and massacres.
      5. He didn't allow other languages than Amharic to be taught in school.
      6. He fucked the Education in Ethiopia since at the end of his reign (40 years) only 25% of the population could read and write.
      7. His Economy relied on Slavery.
      8. His Economy relied on Farmers who were heavily taxed by their Landlords.

    This was eye opening, a country that never been colonised, Ethiopia is underrated. Such rich history. a dynasty of thousands if yrs only to be ended by a westernised revolutionary type of mentality. as a forwarded thinker the Emperor was he would have made reforms.

    I really like the 'quietness' of this documentary: the narrator has a nice, calm voice and there is no harsh music in the background....better able to absorb the information.

      Shire Shiina there is no Jamaican I know that sees him as God! I am from the Caribbean my family almost all my friends are Jamaican we look out for each other and none not one not one parent ever tell me they worship Salasie however they admire him so much especially bridging gaps of socialism with the Germans and Jamaicans. You can ask the cab driver a true Rastafarian her in Brooklyn on Utica ave...

    a really good documentary, thankyou, I have learned a lot and I'm going too look up more on the internet.
    A very capable and forward looking man, he has to be admired.
    such a shame that internal politics killed him, I bet he would have lived to a ripe old age otherwise

    I think if Ethiopia had followed the kind of leadership that Emperor had brought, Ethiopia would have been the most developed and the eye of AFRICA. But imperialists painted him a bad image yet he was not a dictator like Hitler, Napoleon, Mossolin etc. He brought changes for the benefit of Ethiopian people.
