Ethiopia, the Bible & Rastafari

ISBN: 0-9662524-8-9 128 pgs

African / Caribbean / Religious / Rastafari Studies

"Since nobody can interfere in the realm of God we should tolerate and live side by side with those of other faiths. In the mystic tradition of the different religions we have a remarkable unity of spirit... While the different religions in their historic forms bind us to limited groups and militate against the development of loyalty to the world community, the mystics have already stood for the fellowship of humanity... No one should question the faith of others, for no human being can judge of the ways of God.”

African / Caribbean Studies

"...that until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned; that until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation; that until the colour of a man’s skin is of no significance than the color of his eyes; that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race; that until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued but never attained...; until bigotry and prejudice and malicious and inhuman self-interest have been replaced by understanding and tolerance and goodwill; until all Africans stand and speak as free beings, equal in the eyes of all men, as they are in the eyes of Heaven; until that day, the African will fight, if necessary, and we know that we shall win, as we are confident in the victory of good over evil...”

"...But let us take pride in the fact that as free men we attack and abhor racial discrimination on principle, where-ever it is found and in whatever guise. We can, in addition, to the economic pressure of which we dispose, bring our moral weight to bear and rally world opinion to our cause by revealing the brutality, the inhumanity, the inherent viciousness, and evil represented by this policy...”

What a delight! From start to finish, I felt the need (or beauty) of the pictures you paint.

--Karen Loughran, Teacher

Stories Meh Moddha Told Meh is a valuable document. The author has given these stories a colloquial texture... I am convinced that everyone exploring these pages will hear his/her own mother’s voice relating these stones.

--Rev. G. Modele Clarke

These stories are about Soucayant, Largablest, Papa Bois, Hosay, to name a few. Some are scary but juicy and fun to read. ENJOY!

Ethiopia Speaks: The Italian Invasion 1935 - 1941

ISBN: 0-9662524-7-0 Available: July 2003

... It was at the time when the operations for the encircling of Makalle were taking place that the Italians fearing a rout, followed the procedure which is now my duty to denounce to the world. Special sprayers were installed on board aircrafts so that they could vaporize, over vast areas of territory, a fine death — dealing rain. Groups of nine, fifteen, eighteen aircrafts followed one another so that the fog issuing from them formed a continuous sheet. It was thus that, as from the end of January,1936, soldiers, women, children, cattle, rivers, lakes, and pastures were drenched continually with this deadly rain. In order to kill off systematically all living creatures, in order the more [move] surely poison waters, and pastures, the Italian command made the aircrafts pass over and over again. That was its chief method of warfare... The object was to scatter fear and death over a great part of the Ethiopian territory. These fearful tactics succeeded. Men and animals succumbed. The deadly rain that fell down from the aircraft made all those whom it touched fly shrieking with pain. All those who drank the poisoned water or ate the infected food also succumbed in dreadful suffering. In tens of thousands, the victims of the Italian mustard fell...
