How the hell is this man not recognized as a saint by the Orthodox church? There was a discussion about Rastafarianism when it took me down a rabbit hole about him. >>507111414 Unfortuantly the thread died before I could post this finding.

Modernized Ethiopia, stopped Italian colonization. Helped other countries with decolonization efforts, spread Orthodox Christianity in the Caribbean after meeting Rastafarians. Made illegal slavery punishable by death. Commies targeted the Solomon dynasty. Possibly martyred (raped to death while getting a prostate exam at the age of 83) Then there it is >General Aman Mikael Andom, a Protestant of Eritrean origin.
Fucking hell a proddy golem got him. Then Aman Mikael was assassinated because he wasn't executing political prisoners. A year later Haile's whole family died if they hadn't fled the country. Some Soviet Jews went out of their way to off the Solomon dynasty because they were becoming too popular and known. Then you know how the CIA got involved in drug smuggling in the 1970's and probably dumbed down Rastafarians even more than they already were.
