First of all, it is important to underline the vision of our organization, which is the desire to achieve African Unity, Peace and Happiness for all Africans in general, with the center here in Ethiopia.
Deug 27 is an organization that is fully committed to His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I's vision for the Foundation of the Organization of African Union and the call to the African diaspora to:
ORGANIZE, CENTRALIZE AND FOCUS in their mission.
His Majesty in Ethiopia, as the last emperor of this nation, during his 40 years of his reign left Ethiopia with a very clear line to our continent.
African Peace and freedom are two words that most defined not only its political and spiritual trajectory, but also legacies that all Africans around the world identified with.
Since the 1960s, Africans from various countries in the world, especially the Caribbean, have been repatriating to Ethiopia in order to support this vision of African Liberation, Peace and Freedom.
Shashamene was the city chosen to be this material and spiritual reason and home of the Rastafari returnees who in time came to be known in Ethiopia as Jamaicans.
The Tabernacle is one of its greatest symbols. Because it is the place they identify with their faith, their path to this great central vision, Peace and Love for Ethiopia.
Rastafari are people, Whites and Blacks who have thought towards African sovereignty with the center in Ethiopia, specifically in Shashamene because of the first properties give by his Magesty is being located in these regions.
but this is just a signal to be decoded today. Africans throughout the world recognize through the Rastafari movement this message of the victorious free land that Ethiopia represents. Rastafarians are Ethiopia's great ambassadors of Ethiopia land.
In fact, it's not just people with long hair who smoke weed and want to live in peace in Ethiopia, with is propaganda about us, but also organizations, movements that appeal for the unity and sovereignty of the African continent every day.
For a long time, in the last 40 years, the exodus of men and women in this land, due to the various political difficulties encountered since the DERG regime, made it very difficult to understand this fundamental mission of what these groups represent.
They are spread all over the world and express deep discontent with the system of perpetual oppression of the most disadvantaged, especially African resources unfairly expropriated for centuries.
Ethiopia, for its history of armed, political and spiritual resistance in the world arena, was recognized by this movement as the House of God, the promised land, the only one capable of bringing Africans their Freedom as it was thought and agreed to in May 1963. in Addis Ababa.
Our Foundation has several elements that promote this faith and therefore sympathizes with all the resident Rasfaris on the current situation of the demolition of the tabernacle and calls for a joint solution by the parties involved.
It is an honor for Ethiopians to be able to feel, after several decades, the wind of freedom blowing in their face, and to live together with other Africans freely, equally and in Peace.
This incident and several others that happened in the last moments should be concerted agendas to clarify Ethiopia's course towards its African brothers.
United we will win, divided we will fall.
Now is the time for the Rastafarians not only present in Ethiopia but in the Diaspora to show their solidarity with this people, and show their love for them.
