Yep!

Menelik and Iyasu

Menelik II and Tafari Makonnen (future Haile Selassie), rather.

Li Yasu did not last as ruler. He was soon deposed and replaced. The last Emperor of that dynasty was Haile Selassie.

I think Iyasu was Menelik's grandson right? And if Menelik was succeeded by Iyasu, then its logical to say that's Iyasu.

Yea, seems he only lasted for 4 years or so.

I thought Li Yasu wad succeeded first by a regent and then Selassie. Li Yasu could not be Selassie, unless he was the first titular SELASSIE, succeeded by the last ruler as SELASSIE II. Which is i?

Actually Lij Iyasu's successor was his aunt Zewditu, Negus Menelik's daughter.
Haile Selassie, whose grandmother was the aunt of Menelik, was named Zewditu's heir. He was crown prince and effective ruler between Iyasu's deposition in 1916 to Zewditu's death in 1930.

Yes, Iyasu's mother was Shoa Reggad, Menelik's daughter. The child in the picture with Menelik is the future Haile Selassie, though. Haile Selassie was also part of the Royal Family. His paternal grandmother Tenagne Worq was the daughter of King Sahle Selassie of Showa, who was also Menelik's grandfather

Thanks for clarity.
