Just as after the collapse of the Iron Curtain several kings and other
majesties started pretending for real again it seems that the Ethiopian
government in exile is starting its claim to the throne of Haile
Selassie.
On http://www.ethiopiancrown.org there is a waving old
Ethiopian flag, a Coat of Arms (of sorts) and the flag of the Crown
Council. Its function is explained on
http://www.ethiopiancrown.org/crown.htm
- it's in London and the grandson of Haile Selassie, His Imperial Highness
Prince Ermias Sahle-Selassie Haile-Selassie, is currently President of the Crown
Council of Ethiopia, 1993- .
It doesn't look very important, though, but as a curiosum we can note the flag
of the Crown Council pictured above. The lettering is said to read: Unity Freedom Equality Prosperity.
