November 2 (Tiqimt 23) in Ethiopian history:
On November 2, 1930 (Tiqimt 23, 1923) Crown Prince Ras Tafari Makonnen
was crowned Neguse-Negest (Emperor) of Ethiopia with the crown name Qedamawi Atse Haile
Selassie (Emperor Haile Selassie I). In the past, I have posted the brochure which contained the coronation program schedule and which indicated the protocol as to which cabinet member is to accompany which foreign dignitary. For those who are interested in primary source materials, here is another document related to the event: one of the official notices sent to Heads of States of countries (in this case to the President of Bolivian Republic).
Finally check out the video showing part of the coronation
ceremony and which was posted to the Internet (YouTube) since my last
posting.
