Ethiopia Is Really
Old Style Form Of
Monarchy Africa
Chiefs Weild Great Local
Power and Priests Are
Influential
By Charles Norman
Associated Press Staff Writer
The Ethiopian empire is an
old-fashioned absolute mon
archy, whose provincial chief
tains—call “Dejasmathees or
generals, colorful in their
headdress of lions’ manes—
weild great local power.
A road has to be built. A
member of the royal family
picks up a stone. Courtiers
; follow his example. The local
chieftains fall in line. Soon
j thousands of Ethiopian males
are transporting stones, re
moving boulders, and the
road begins to take shape.
The land over which Haile
Selassie reigns as King of
Kings comprises some 3,500,
000 Abyssinians and 0,000,
000 Gallas. The rest of the
population, variously estimat
ed at around 12,000,000 are
Danikils and Somals, tribes
Menelik II conquered and sub
dued.
“Lest Worst Befalls....”
The reign of the black em
pire is Coptic Christian. It is
said when Menelik conquered
the Gallas, the inhabitants
had to become Christians “lest
worse befall them.” The pro
cess was swift—immersion in
the nearest stream and circum
cision. The Gallas are pastor
al people.
1 he Ethiopians are not mis
sionaries, however, and do
not welcome the emmissaries
of other sects. Moslems, Jews
and others practice their re
ligion without molestation.
Ethiopia’s New Year’s day
falls on September 11.
Many Races
Abyssinia, comprising one
third of Ethiopia’s territory,
comes from the ancient “Ha
besh” meaning a “mixture”,
because so many races have
joined to form the population.
The races of the country re
present a multiplicity of lan
guages and dialects. Old Eth
iopian manuscripts are full of
traditional tales and folk lore,
which have not reached the
civilized world because of the
total lack of printing press
es. Much of Ethiopian litera
ture, jealously guarded by the
priesthood, is based on an
cient miracles that befell the
country’s saints. One is the
“Ketra Nagast”, another “The
Miracles of the Virgin.”
Marriage and divorce laws
are said to be lax. The priest
hood forms a powerful group
which helps to administer the
laws. There are no lawyers,
and the mosaic code of “an
eye for an eye” underlies ju
dicial decisions.
Provincial chieftains of
Ethiopia—colorful local rul- :
ers, whose followers comprise
powerful fighting units in case
of war.
