WHY IT MATTERS:
I trace the Comba-Tai family lineage through Ras (Prince) Yakub (translated: James Marshal) and Bitwoded Georgios Waren (George Warren), a Christian Nubian.

Kasa imprisoned and educated the future Christian Emperor Menelik II: the first of two Ethiopian Kings to defeat colonialism.
