HISTORYUN's video: Failed ISLAMISATION of Ethiopia Lij Iyasu vs Haile Selassie

Emperor Haile Sesallie's personal and political struggles against the influence of Islam on his ancestry and within the Abyssinian empire is a story that is seldom touched upon. Haile Selassie was born of an Oromo Muslim mother - Woizero Yeshimebet Ali, who converted to Christianity in order to marry his father - Ras Makonnen. Haile Selassie's relative, Lij Iyasu was also born of a Muslim convert to Christianity, however he wore his Islamic identity proudly and once vowed to convert Abyssinia (Ethiopia) to Islam, with the help and assistance of his Ottoman patrons. This is a truly fascinating and eye-opening history to behold. .........................
