What a shameless reach this is. He was a Jewish King in Yemen trying to rid the country of Ethiopian rule. Yemenite nationalist forces under Dhu Nuwas included Jews, pagans, and Christians. Ethiopian propaganda painted the the rule of Dhu-Nuwas as a Jewish religious, anti-Christian action and called for a "righteous war" against Yemen.
