Press Release

4th March 2002

Mediator between God and man
Symbol of the Unification of
Ethio-Afrika

The elevation to the Imperial Throne of Ethiopia November 2nd 1930 by Negust Rastafari Makonnen taking the name Haile Selassie I 225 of the Davidic Solomonic dynasty has given the black people of the world back their integrity and dignity and divine Monarchy which fulfilled the prophecy "The Lion of Judah shall brake every chain and give us a victory again and again".

The advent of the Fascist invasion of Ethiopia by the Fascist dog Mussolini 1935 become a challenge to the black nation worldwide with Emperor Haile Selassie I has the Gidion of the Era fighting for the liberation of our Motherland and all small nations because collective security was at stake.

With the help of the Ethiopian national who born out of Ethiopia in the Caribbean and America with England and its united force Mussolini and his fascist dogs were defeated 5th May 1941.

In 1955 HIM Emperor Haile Selassie I granted land in the province of Shashamane to the Ethiopian national in the West who supported Ethiopia and contributed to the defeated of fascism in Ethiopia.

Rastafarian and former E.W.F.Inc now known as the Imperial Ethiopian World Federation Inc was beneficiary to this grant.

On 21 - 24 April 1966 HIM Emperor Haile Selassie I visited Jamaica at the invitation of the government where He spoke the people of Jamaica through their Parliament. He stated that Jamaica and Ethiopia whole the peace of the world and Jamaican Ethiopian are blood brothers.

In 1967 Ethiopia and Jamaica sign a cultural agreement.

In His deliberation to the people of Jamaica H.I.M Emperor Haile Selassie I stated that Ethiopia is the ancestral home of over 300 million people and as the race increase they spread out and through the advent of slavery some were taking to Jamaica and other parts of the world but regardless of geographical distant there was a common bond irrespective and this common bond must unite us in time of adversity.

The overthrowal of the imperial government of Ethiopia and the abolition of the divine Monarchy of Emperor Haile Selassie I September 1974 by the Marxist Leninist Stalinist has destroyed the hope and aspiration of the Ethiopian people and they descendents in the west, most of all Rastafarian who saw Emperor Haile Selassie I has they deity and Ethiopia as the promise land.

Today Royalist Ethiopian and Rasta are displace people like their counterpart the Palestine's who is fighting for the liberation of their mother land Rasta must see the struggle like their counterpart who is fighting for their Humans right and Fundamental Freedom and physical support the Ethiopian struggle against Stalinist Meles.

The abolition of the divine Monarchy has undermined the identity of Rastafarian and the desire of Repatriation to Ethiopia, not until the liberation of Ethiopia and the Restoration of the Dynasty of Emperor Haile Selassie I then Rastafarian identity will restore and Repatriation become a reality in their lifetime.
The resurrection of the E.W.F. Inc 1983 to the I.E.W.F. Inc by order of Crown Prince Merid Asfa Wossen H.S (known as King Ahma Selassie I) and the giving of two Royal Charters to the Rastafarians Community has given the Rasta the identity and status as a part of Crown movement in exile and the voice, ears and eyes of the Crown within the community legitimising Rastafarian involvement in political affairs.

Today the Rastafarian community as Ethiopian sovereigns must not put a local organ or foreign Ideology above the I.E.W.F.Inc, co-local names and tradition and customs has to be modify so as to ensure the continuity of any community.

Rastafarian in this time must attach themselves to the vine an the vine is Ethiopian organism given to us by the Emperor Haile Selassie I which is the I.E.W.F.Inc which contest the 1997 General Election irrespective of the amount of candidate that were presented. The I.E.W. F.Inc aim to represent Rasta as the political mechanism in every Third World Countries where Rasta constituted as the minority.

Rasta in this time must rally behind Crown Prince Zara Yacob; H.S as the offical Heir to the Throne propagated by H.I.M Emperor Haile Selassie I 1973 in his Easter broadcast to Ethiopian at home and abroad.

The Crown Council headed by Crown Prince Zara Yacob, H.S in Exile is calling on the Rastafarian community worldwide to support and rally behind the cause of the liberation of Ethiopia and Restoration of the Dynasty of Emperor Haile Selassie I Compatible to the support of our predecessors in the thirties to defeat fascism.

It is imperative that Rastafarian supports the I. E. W. F.Inc because the royal Charters given to the Rastafarian community is signed and sealed by the future King of Ethiopia Crown Prince Zara Yacob the desire of Emperor Haile Selassie I fulfillment of Psalms 2:6-7.

Long Live Emperor Haile Selassie I

Long Live Crown Prince Zara Yacob

Liberty in our Nation = Lion

Pan-African Day

February 8th 2001

There is a need to annually observe a special day in recognition of the famous Pan-African movement. Every year on February 8th (during Black History Month) Pan-African Day will be celebrated to honour the academics, activists, artists, writers, radical voices, leaders and supporters associated with the Pan-African movement. Major economic, cultural social and religious systems have been shaped by this worldwide movement which was initiated among the African diaspora and also championed within Africa.

The trauma of slavery using labour from the African continent made many African slaves feel a longing to return to Africa. Throughout the centuries there have been individuals and groups advocating for the return of those uprooted and forcefully transplanted Africans to Africa. As a result of this terrible slave trade, Africa, the home of human civilization, suffered immense cultural, economic, social and human losses.

The expressions for a longing to return to their homeland materialized in the hosting of Pan-African Conferences. The year 2000 marked the 100th anniversary of the international 1900 Pan-African Conference organised by Henry Sylvester-Williams in England. A series of similar conferences were held throughout the twentieth century attracting leading Black personalities. 

I am hoping that the celebration of Pan African Day on February 8th will ensure that the spirit and enthusiasm of hosting Pan-African conferences will be continued in the 21st century. The dreams and aspirations of a generation of Pan-Africanists and their supporters must not vanish.

Let the sons and daughters of Mother Africa unite in the homeland’s greatest hour of need. Among the African diaspora there will always be ancestral links with Africa, thus complete separation from Africa could never be achieved.
