Selected Speeches Of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I

CHAPTER IV

HISTORIC - WAR AND PEACE

The history of Ethiopia for the past half a century has revolved materially around events in which Haile Selassie First has been the prime mover. In times of stress, in times of joy, his leadership in resolving the hopes, fears and aspirations of the Ethiopian people has been distinctive, his guidance indispensable and decisive.

His people and the world have acclaimed him a fighter not only in defence of the integrity of Ethiopia. He has been a champion for world peace and a man whose principles have contributed manfully to the history of this day and age. His public utterances in this phase of the national and international drama of peace and war speak by themselves most eloquently.
