"Apart from the Kingdom of the Lord there is not on this earth any nation that is superior to any other. Should it happen that a strong Government finds it may with impunity destroy a weak people, then the hour strikes for that weak people to appeal to the League of Nations to give its judgment in all freedom. God and history will remember your judgment."


Haile Selassie I
(APPEAL TO THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, June 1936)

A polyglot figure in Ethiopian history.

Lorenzo Tizaze (ሎሬንዞ ትዕዛዝ)

The honorable Ato Lorenezo Tizaz (1900-1940) Who is seen standing behind his Majesty was an exceptional personality who lifted himself above his generation and earned honorable place in Ethiopian history.

He wrote and edited the historical speech which his Majesty delivered to the league of nations in 1936 G.C.

World leaders of that era named the speech "Message of prophecy" from beyond.

Beside his service to Emperor H/Selassie's top English language interpreter on the international platform, Lorenzo was also fluent in 6 international languages including Latin.
