Before We Went To Africa.

Being one of the foremost Representative of the Rastafarian movement Since 1958, I was the one who ask Dr A.W. Lewis to make his Survey. The Rastafarians and the Ethiopian world Federation Both are Movements which attract people to them by there Back to Africa ethos. I an I being Rastafarian know the Rastafarian Movement is not an organization but a Movement often time call a Revolutionary Movement. The Ethiopia World Federation is an organisation, and not a Movement. The Compositon of the E.W.F. stem from a movement in America. The Ethiopia Peace Movement. Dr. Malaku Beyen Establishes the E.W.F. as was requested of H.I.M. while in Exile in England. H.I.M. knew that Victory would be Ethiopia's lot, So He prepare the ground to walk upon as a foundation. H.I.M. spoke Strongly in Geneva about Sanction. The Ethiopian World Federation was used as an institution that could create the Sanctions needed. Ethiopians are domicile in Every land and the organisation was incoperated. Its Member were committed to promote the good and welfare of Black people through out the World. To I an I this was an invitation of Leadership, offer, the Black People of the western World, to I an I this was the Collective Security of the Black man and in truth for all Human, H.I.M. came to enlightened His illiterate Millions of all Races. Mankind fail to Realize what is injustice, and what is good for the Goose is also good for the Gander too. Man is Man who can Think, the Condition. that certain System create is always antisipated by the iniciator of the System. How Strong the E.W.F. Inc was and How Strong it is now, left to be Seen. The E.W.F. Inc has move away from the original Standing. The Rasta's has gain more since the 1960 Survey But a further form of astrocism has been notice. In England Marcus Garvey usually keep rallies and run a commentary on the situation in Ethiopia. Garvey having this large following belief he should advise H.I.M. on the wars in Ethiopia. H.I.M. knew what was going on and How he would be fighting His Battles. This move can be clearly Seen. In 1927 H.I.M. send an Ambassador Dr. Wyncliffe Martin to England to try and Recruit 51 Black professional people to come to Ethiopia to Help and Build Ethiopia. The Record Said not one Single person was available in 1927. The Task was to get Certain information known to a people in a strange and far off land. Ethiopia was prepared to open her doors but always appears as if too slow. Africa could not do anything to the cries of Marcus Garvey Back to Africa exodus. I an I took into Consideration the freedom of the African States. I an I also took into consideration the type of Colonialism these African States Suffers. These studies poses problems in moving the thoughts of the Movement into these states and the state reactions. I an I could not over look the British action in using Africans against the Germans both in Das res Salem and Cameeroon. All this was to confuse the Marcus Movement in the early part of the Century. The west India Regiment was used against the Ashanti in the Gold Coast, against the Egptians in Egypt. These were total confusion to off set the Garvey works. The Back to Africa struggle did not stop Here, neither does it intend to stop anywhere until the struggle is realize by all Black people concern. I an I aware of the various changes that the enemies of freedom has made since the Scene change. Africans becomes confuse because he is not allowed to operate peacefully. I an I notices the time peddalling of the Colonial power. I an I know what these Powers have to loose, when they allow the operation unmolested. I an I try to warn the western world Government of there inpending Doom that awaits them: I an I faith is not shaken by Confusion in this warfare This System of Confusion has created the type of oppositon that is expected. Many try to brush away the ideas of I an I Claim. Who can deny that Africans was taken from Africa to come and do Plantation Slavery? Who can deny that the Said Africans and there Children desire to go back to Africa? Who can deny that at the time of emanicipation the Queen Victoria of England Granted £20 000 000 for the Slaves and there Children Settle in Africa? The problems of Colonialism was already in Africa Ethiopia was the Only State of Africa which was free and could take any Africans into Africa Ethiopia was the only Africa and still remain the Same to this day. All other African states poses Neo-colonialism in challenge to the Aspirations of the Back to Africa Movement. in the Western World. This is what the world are yearning for the Solution to Peace. Peace and Love is the early greeting of I an I. Economically this greeting change for Free-man. The Politician soon uses our Slogan and set propoganda base for opposition accusation of attachment. This method caught some of the Brethren in thinking that such Party Politically intend to do anything in the Movement favour. Dr Lewis Reported the easy way noticable for ilfiltration and Political Manupilation, and a servicable grounds for Saboteurs. All these Circumstances is truely added to the Movement. A Movement with so much Complexity cannot be sucessful according to most observebers. I an I Realize that any Movement Moving away from a System which is intended, to reorientate a culture through a Doctrine and Philosophy which poses problems for over three hundreds years. in this present Slavery are many free and Educated people hoping for a day when mankind Truely work unto Peace and Love.
