Peace and Love there is nothing hidden these are all found in history books written before and during Haileselassies period. The books were published and read by all who wanted to read it. In the royal family and their nobles there were many muslims and this facts were open knowledge and in history books. However as Ethiopia is known as a christian country it was not favourable for a head of state (king) to convert to muslim or have more than necessary association with Islam. An Islamic state was not favoured More over ethnicity was not a major issue. All the ethnic groups Tigre, Amhara, Oromo, Gurage etc intermarried the issue then was class. Ethnicity is a western creation to divide and rule especialy introduced by the Italians to divide the country to make Ethiopia weaker.
This is very touchy story.The great mum died of bleeding,still a common cause of death of mothers in the third world country.Our mother,our godeses take a great risk to bring us down to the world.We should love them,care them and hold them in high esteem. As to hiding our history,it is the single most common cause of all the problems the country is suffering from.We were brought up feeding serious mistakes.Some of our people pointed to this serious problem and labelled unpatriotic by a group who believe in hiding where and how we came where we are now.We should be who we say we are and faking history presents no good and it is and was a sickness.Some of us wished that our ancestors are from some distant perceived superior race looking down up on our real identity and created confusion and elements of lack of self confidence among our people.We are indigenious people of Horn of Afrika.The chronicles of the kings is the source of all this problem.They wanted to recreate Ras Tefery Mekonen as the descendant of the conquering Lion of Judah.The king wss part oromo part Amhara,no Jewish blood in him.We were in self denial and it is was a sickness.We are great people by our own right,we are amazing,talented lions of Afrika. Last but not least the new Ethiopia of our time is to go down the genuine line of what we are and how we came.I salute with my hats off to the presenter of story.You are a great patriot and honest person.We heal the wound among our people by telling the truth and being honest to our country and our selves.
Jemal Gemta Mohamed .... You have Arabic agenda, that's all to it. An Ethiopian, with Jewish blood line; currently residing in State of Israel. Stop your pathetic propaganda. P.S. the video stories is not new development, only your new empty airhead Oromo supremacist deny their history. There was to much positive feelings in glorious Orthodox Ethiopia and it breed resentment.

Ethio Debates do you know the the King 's mother ? do you have a better history about the king , that includes mother? if you don't, stop complaining about some one's work.
Ethio Debates , you know what you are the most stupid person . haileslasie may be for you was a good man but to most ethiopian eritrean was not . so , you mean to tell us just bc you enjoyed during haile salsie that doesn't mean he was a good man .
God bless you brother; I love history I always wonder about Janhoy's mom. How I wish you put it as a book and we can buy copies Why was this precise and kind women a secret?
Menelik II GGCB, GCMG was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1889 to his death in 1913 .... Menelik II had Oromo ancestry himself on his mother's side, and his late father King Haile Melekot's ...
It is really amazing! We all need to appreciate the HISTORIAN. We all are be one Oromo or Amhara or of any race are Ethiopians. We need to avoid “The bad attitude inherited “ and do every best to to protect this our beautiful land.
Tesfsye wrote that politicaly motivated rubbish for it can help falsifying the true history of Ethiopia and to disintegrate the unity of Oromo and Amhara people.
Touching! God bless you for trying to disclsoe the hiden facts. I grew up thinking the same thing i.e. the mystery back hiding the maternity of the king & his ethnicity. Two main fackts about the king have been hiden with intention: 1) the fact that the king was oromo 2) the fact that the king had a muslim back ground. The reason for hiding these facts was also two: 1) coz the king had to claime for being from solomon dyansty which is pure sematic and for that purpose he had to deny (hide) his true oromo identity which is cushatic. 2) inorder to claime solomon dyansty, he had to appear as "pure" christian and hence his muslim background had to be denied (hiden). All this was just for the sake of power and to appear as the "right" person for the politics of the time. We still see the same mentality in our time i.e. self denial for political/power. Look at the members of the current regime. Most of them do not belong to the ethnic group they represent but made by the party to appear so.
Bonhomie the fact that he was half Oromo was never hidden moron his father Ras Mekonen Gudissa was well known. And his statute doesn't hide his name either .His Mother was from Wello. His wife was from wello and had a muslim background it is written. He himself answered to the Italians fascist wicked accusation in order to divide and dismantle Ethiopia his answer to the UN was "i am a Galla myself how can I do bad against my own people"
Love All 1. He is not half oromo but 100% oromo coz wollo is oromo by ethnicity(wollo means it self one of the clan of oromo) i.e. the king's mother was oromo. Since she was from muslim family, the false history writers of the time tried to lable her as gurage coz being amhara was linked with being christian (which was the politics of the time and that's why even the king him self pretended as being amhara). There is no ethnic group called wollo! That they speak amharic today does not make them amhara, with the exception of those amharas who were settled there through time. So if you claim u know historical facts, you should not hide that very fact too. 2. There never been oromo case at the UN meeting wereby he was to answer/defend. Do you have any source? You should also put your stupid word in an appropriate way coz that very word was fabricated by the old time of abysinian elites to psychologically undermine the then strong & powerfull nation, oromo. Your using of the word shows how you are still backward and arrogant.
Bonhomie You Te ignorant, weather he had Muslim background or not he was devoted Christian in his own right. You Re just recist Tsinfegna DIASPORA. Name one from current regime who doesn't represent his ethnicity. You want 3 generations of Amhara borne in Oromo to be Amhara, no I don't think so they should be Oromo. The same for others, idiots like you don't except that. Ethiopia is Ethiopia we all one get lost.
Bohomie and Love all: I don't think u guys should arguing on this issue b/c neither of u bring the satisfying point for the public except presenting ur hisorical view as many historians did before. Let us believe as we want about the king's (HaileSelasse's) tribal identity or his family tree. However, let us come together as Ethiopian to tackle the current problem that our beloved couuntry is faced. I have no doubt that most of us agree....our country has been suffered from woyane's tribal based politics for the last 27 years. In which, tenth of thousands of Ethiopian if not millions have been killed, thousands have been prisoned, and many have left the county. Woyane has been and will be facilitated how we are going to destroy ourselves in the coming days, weeks, or months. The best thing to do for us....let's set aside our reginol identity, in which, all of us have been loser and of course will be dying unless we say WE ARE ETHIOPIAN!!!
There is an elementary school in Harar, Shenkor in the name of her highness. There are rumor's the name will be changed to Harari woman's name which may be the reason why you couldn't find it on record. As a matter of fact all the history about the monarch will soon be erased from history if things continue as they are now. I hope you have heard the Statue of his father "Leul Ras Mekonen" in Harar is already taken care of (Toppled down) by the 'HATERS'.
What is you trying to say? How many kings mother full name do you know ? Why do you think Haile Selassie mother grand father name need to be mentioned anywhere out of the blue. I
Please don't' address Haileselasie's mother as princess. That title never existed in her time. The title prince and princess is of recent introduction in the country's history. It all began after Emperor Haile Selasie returned from exile in London. On his return to Ethiopia, he copied that title from the titles of the royal family of England and introduced it to his royal family of Ethiopia.
