EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a momentous occasion in Ethiopian history: the coronation of Haile Selassie as Emperor of Ethiopia in November 1930. In the image, the newly crowned monarch, dressed in traditional robes and adorned with the royal regalia, is seen holding the orb and sceptre while being accompanied by his youngest son. The coronation ceremony took place in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, and marked the end of a long and tumultuous period of political instability in the country. Haile Selassie, born Tafari Makonnen, had ascended to the throne just a few months earlier following the death of Emperor Ras Tafari. His election was met with widespread acceptance among the Ethiopian people, who saw him as a symbol of unity and hope for a better future. The coronation ceremony was a grand affair, attended by thousands of Ethiopians and dignitaries from around the world. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Ethiopia and the significance of the monarchy in the country's history. Haile Selassie's reign, which lasted until 1974, is remembered as a period of relative peace and stability, during which Ethiopia made significant strides in modernization and economic development. This image is a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of the Ethiopian people, who have weathered countless challenges throughout history and continue to shape their own destiny. It serves as a reminder of the importance of tradition and continuity in the face of change, and of the power of leadership to inspire and unite a nation.
