“It is my dearest wish to raise an army to fight in Libya or anywhere in Africa." said the Emperor Haile Selassie in an interview, at a place 100 miles from his capital, prior to its reoccupation.
After expressing his gratitude for Britain's aid, he said: “I need British help to form and equip a regular army for the future defence of my country. I realise that everything depends upon Britain winning the war and hope to enter Addis Ababa shortly.”
