Has there ever been a great black military leader?

Shaka Zulu?

Emperor Haile Selassie - Mobilization Order, Abyssinia, 1936

“Everyone will now be mobilised and all boys old enough to carry a spear will be sent to Addis Ababa.

Married men will take their wives to carry food and to cook. Those without wives will take a woman without a husband. Woman with small babies need not go.

The blind, those who cannot walk, or for any reason cannot carry a spear, are exempted.

Any one found at home after receipt of this order will be hanged.”
