Lij Tafari Makonnen; 23 July 1892 – 27 August 1975)[3] was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974. He rose to power as Regent Plenipotentiary of Ethiopia (Enderase) for Empress Zewditu from 1916 until 1930. Haile Selassie is widely considered a defining figure in modern Ethiopian history, and the key figure of Rastafari, a religious movement in Jamaica that emerged shortly after he became emperor in the 1930s. Before he rose to power he defeated Ras Gugsa Wole Bitul (Nephew of Empress Taytu) of Begemidr (present Gondar) at the Battle of Anchem in 1928.[4][5] He was a member of the Solomonic dynasty, which claims to trace lineage to Emperor Menelik I, believed to be the son of King Solomon and Makeda, the Queen of Sheba.Jamaica News Caribbean News Entertainment Sports Politics Rastafari Culture and Roots Reggae updates.
