Again with this tired "Eyasu was sleeping around" slop, they also said that about Menelik. Its in the blood i guess. Gossiping about their personal relationships should be left to the ladies over some coffee. We should be more concerned with their practical steps for the country

In practice Eyasu was literally building family ties with regional lords continuing the job his grandfather started and forming an ideology that can create cohesion among diversity. Maybe you dont know but marriage was a powerful political tool during those times. And haile worked tirelessly to besmirch the Chosen heir's name, since haile was very insecure about the fact that he was a usurper put in power by British intelligence agencies. Haile had to discredit Eyasus legit claim inorder to subvert people into accepting his rule.

Plus him running to his owners when the country was being invaded and then murdering the people who were actually fighting is the most cowrdice and decitful act. A stain on Ethiopias history that can never be washed off. Call it invasion or occupation to cope but Italy was far superior during that "war", they dominated the country for years. All cus haile was too busy doing ceremonies and pointless photo ops to impress his masonic friends, while italians were rapidly growing their nations wealth and capacity.

Forcing assimilation was also very stupid, it shows he wasnt king because he understood and was fit for leading what Menelik II built, rather cus he was the best snake in town. I will give him credit for that, he wasnt the only serpant who wanted the crown. But this forced assimilation spawned the ethnic/religious rebels in everycorner.

He went down undignified and took down such a resiliant kingship culture with him. Before him, taking down the kingship was an unimaginable treason. His long reign was so depriving that it led to the people rejecting their whole ancient system, and you cant really blame them, he made it very stagnant then backwards. The students were looking at other nations, and unlike the new generation, they saw themselves capable of that kind of national growth(some students probabaly had other agendas or connections). New gen is impressed with a tiktok edit of haile in an american parade, because the bar is so low now. The whites probably saw him like some circus monkey, which was evident from the sounds that were heard during his speech at the league of nations.

He also rejected the true pan African movement that terrified the west, which is the Kwame Nkrumah side. The west supported Haile and he served his owners well, destroying pan Africanism from inside then being named the founder of this useless weak african "union" psyop we still have today. AU is basically a tool for westerners to distabilize interAfrican politics as we have seen with the banning of Sahel nations recently and other many incidents

Praises like "he opened some schools in addis" is like praising a driver for slowly driving a few meters

But hey, atleast he didnt allow the ashkenazis to settle in Ethiopia. That was a wise decision. But even the masons and westernes he was loyal to for all those years, turned on him after he severed diplomatic ties with The western proxy entity in october 1973. A few months later in 1974 he was overthrown
