As a keen follower of Ethiopia's history and culture, especially the monarchy, I've noticed that, like in any other monarchy, there is always a power struggle where the ruthless, smart, and cunning person always wins. We see this with the Emperor who wisely ascended the power chain.

I believe the Emperor genuinely had a vision to elevate Ethiopia. This can be seen by the various changes he brought to his country, such as education, law development, and industrialization. However, old age, pride, and a monarchial mindset prevented him from seeing the changing mindset and cries for change from his people. His lack of action during famine, acquisition of Eritrea, and call for reforms led to his downfall.

It's sad to see how this great man was murdered and buried without any recognition.
