Ketema Yifru: The Architect Behind the OAUEmperor Haile-Selassie conferring with his foreign minister, Ketema Yifru. As a seat of the continent’s grandest institution, Addis Ababa is colorfully celebrating the Golden Jubilee of Organization of African Unity/African Union (OAU/AU). In the last half of the 20th century, Haile-Selassie’s name has never been omitted whenever the OAU is mentioned. It seems that His Majesty had amassed all the credit for the country’s success in the formation of OAU. Ketema Yifru was also recognized by the media as having played a prominent role in the creation of Africa’s regional organization.
