Haile Selassie I (Ge'ez: ???? ??? ??? qädamawi haylä s?llasé; Amharic: [ha.?l? s?l?ase] About this sound listen (help·info)) (23 July 1892 – 27 August 1975), born Tafari Makonnen Woldemikael, was Ethiopia's regent from 1916 to 1930 and Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974. He was the heir to a dynasty that traced its origins by tradition from King Solomon and Queen Makeda, Empress of Axum, known in the Abrahamic tradition as the Queen of Sheba.At the League of Nations in 1936, the Emperor condemned the use of chemical weapons by Italy against his people during the Second Italo–Ethiopian War. His internationalist views led to Ethiopia's becoming a charter member of the United Nations, and his political thought and experience in promoting multilateralism and collective security have proved seminal and enduring. His suppression of rebellions among the nobles (mekwannint), as well as what some critics perceived to be Ethiopia's failure to modernize adequately, earned him criticism among some contemporaries and historians. He has also received criticism from groups such as Human Rights Watch for allegedly ruling in a repressive and undemocratic manner.Among the Rastafari movement, whose followers are estimated at between 200,000 and 800,000, Haile Selassie is revered as the returned messiah of the Bible, God incarnate. Beginning in Jamaica in the 1930s, the Rastafari movement perceives Haile Selassie as a messianic figure who will lead a future golden age of eternal peace, righteousness, and prosperity. Haile Selassie was an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian throughout his life. Haile Selassie is a defining figure in both Ethiopian and African history. | Full Name | Haile Selassie |

| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | The lyrics of Bob Marley's song "War" are taken from a speech given by Haile Selassie in the United Nations. |
| 2 | During one of his visits to the island of Jamaica, he saw RasTafarians worshipping him, (the cult believes he was the second coming of Christ), and he rubuked them for it and told them "Do not worship me, I am not God. I'm only a man. I worship Jesus Christ." The Rastafarians rejected this, saying that this was someone impersonating Haile Selassie. This is all still available for reserach on old news reels. |
| 3 | His post-coronation name "Haile Selassie" means "Emissary of the Holy Trinity". |
| 4 | 226th Negus (Emperor) of Ethiopia. Like all Amharic people, he was a descendant of the marriage of Solomon, the King of Israel, to the Queen of Sheeba, (legend has it that Selassie was a direct descendant). The Amharic people are also said to be descended from Moses and his Midian wife Zipporah. |
