Greetings To The Crown Council Of Ethiopia,
One year ago remarks were made to an international audience by Crown
Council President His Imperial Highness Prince Ermias Sahle-Selassie
Haile-Selassie. On November 2, 2007, His Imperial Highness said at the
Smithsonian Institute’s opening of Discovering Rastafari, an exhibit
whose main focus is H.I.M. Haile Selassie The 1st. “Tonight is a
bright evening because we continue to see the light of Rastafari shine.”
Moreover, at the University of the West Indies, Jamaica, during a visit
this year, the Prince made a presentation and said “the new African
Millennium must acknowledge the heroic struggle for independence that
was waged and won by gallant African leaders on the continent. Thus, we
salute the memory of Emperor Menelik II, Emperor Haile Selassie I, etc…”
It is within this spirit and reality that we reach out to the Crown
Council to share our intention to visit Harar, the birth place of His
Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie The First in one years time. On
behalf of the delegation that is going to Ethiopia next November we
would like to set an in person meeting with the Crown Council to better
prepare our delegation for a successful journey to Harar. Our agenda is
as follows:
1st. To learn about the conditions of the land and house where His
Majesty was born.
2nd . To consider how to support the upkeep of this
historical landmark in the spirit of keeping the light of Rastafari
shining at home and abroad.
3rd. To have an understanding of the
situation with the Crown Council vs. the Government of Ethiopia and the
birthplace of H.I.M.
th. To gather information whereas the Rastafari
collective can assist in the development of Harar, such as establishing
organic agriculture/village with all the modern technologies. In meeting
with the Crown Council we hope to continue the process of bridging
individuals and organizations that have Ethiopia’s highest good
intentions within their mission. As the Rastafari Nation continues to
organize and centralize towards an official representation of the
movement. This journey to the Motherland has the blessing and support of
the global Rastafari fraternity, especially, the Elders of our
collective.
We humbly request your response to our desire to meet in person on
November 19th or 20th in DC. We represent many levels of the movement
and the delegation that would travel to Harar next year. Find attached a
copy of the itinerary and a draft of the promotional template.
In Service To The Crown,
Ras Sela – Carlos A. Seales, Discovering Rastafari Advisor, EADUMC
member and Nexus of the Hispanic Rastafari Community
Ras Christopher
Liontree- Co-Director Motherland International Relations and Spiritual
Counselor for the Rastafari Universoul Order Prison Ministry
