Please click on thumbnails for full-sized images."We say now as we have said then, the national flag is the symbol of a nation's independence. Our national flag was never cancelled not even during the five years of the partial occupation of Ethiopia, because our valiant patriots, under our orders, courageously resisted the enemy. . . . The value of a flag springs from the sacrifices made to defend it as the symbol of independence, otherwise there is no difference between a flag and any other piece of cloth. That is why the flag is an eternal source of inspiration, of loyalty and the symbol of the sacred duty and obligation of a soldier; to him it is a moral sentinel. We entrust this flag to you - this testimony to those who have served Us by their sacrifices made during the exile and the campaign of liberation . . . "--HIM Haile Selassie I, May 18, 1959Greetings and Rastafari Blessings 344 Days Before the Ethiopian MillenniumIn 1983, the Rastafari International Theocracy Issembly (RITA) determined that the agenda for Rastafari People worldwide was"(1) The establishment of a Sovereign Government and Secretariat with repatriation getting priority."With regard to Administration,"That the Administration of the Rastafari Community should be handled at two distinct levels, a Ras Tafari International Secretariat, and a Rastafari International Theocracy Government (functional).Finally, with regard to Repatriation, RITA declared,"That a special Repatriation Committee be instituted immediately within the Rastafari International Secretariat to develop the Repatriation Exercise and to implement formal agreements relative to African States and the OAU; (that Tanzania be local for Working Embassy)."Istablishing a Rastafari International or Global Secretariat (RGS) organizes and centralizes Rastafari People Worldwide. When Rastafari People Worldwide recognize and support the RGS, this in turn empowers the RGS to represent I&I with authority to the governments of the world and international institutions like the United Nations and the African Union. This, in turn, advances I&I efforts to secure Repatriation for all people whose ancestors were taken from Africa agaisnt their will and carried in ships across the Ethiopian Sea (Atlantic Ocean) and forced into bondage in the Western Hemsiphere.In the effort to organize and centralize Rastafari People Worldwide for the upcoming Rastafari Global Inity Summit and Repatriation to start the Ethiopian Millennium, the Rastafari Mansions in Jamaica were asked to lead by example and boldly step forward with the voice of authority and "marching orders". As to the voice of authority, to most of the world, Rastafari is synonymous to Jamaica. That is why IRIE pleaded with the Incients Council of the Nyahbinghi Order in Scott Pass and Pitfour, Jamaica; the Elders in the Twelve Tribes of Israel in Kingston, Jamaica; Priests of the Ethiopian African Black International Congress (EABIC) at Bull Bay, Jamaica; Mutabaruka at IRIE FM in Jamaica; Sizzla Kalonji at Judgment Yard, Spanish Town, Jamaica; Tony Rebel at Flames Production in Kingston, Jamaica; and Denroy Morgan at his home in Jamaica, to form the ALL MANSIONS COUNCIL OF JAMAICA during the 40th Anniversary of HIM Haile Selassie I Visit to Jamaica (April 21, 2006). Further, I asked them to implement Operation Reggae to collect $1 from every person at every reggae show from now on to support a Rastafari Global Government, Repatriation, and Rastafari Development Projects.According to the 2003 Rastafari Global Reasoning Secretary, Junior Negus:"I must share this much with those who care . As it was mention the National Gathering in Jamaica is essential to the Inity Reasoning. Yet I myself and others like Brother Margan Heritage and Sizzla has made tremenous efforts to have at least the Main 3 mansions in one that is Bobo , Binghi and 12 Tribe. Up until now I&I can not have a representive from Bobo. On April 13 2006 meeting was scedual for Bobo Hill . That did not take place because Bobo said no green a top emblem in their courts. Meeting was posponded because of that and a time set for June 9 2006 at 12 tribe Head Quarters. On that day Bobo did not turn up everything in dispere."

I see where I&I Honourable Priest Bailey try to clarify, I wish to have that disscussion here in relation to the up coming Global Inity. . . . " From: JrNegus3 Sent: 9/29/2006 12:49 AMThus, among the issues preventing the formation of the All Mansions or Rastafari National Council (RNC) of Jamaica is the issue of the order of the colors of the Ethiopian Flag. The issue has recently started a reasoning at
[email protected] Bailey of the Ethiopian African Black International Congress (EABIC) had this to say:"Blessed Love Royal Brothers and sistersThe Ethiopia Africa Black International Congress, The true Church of Devine Salvation stands above all organisations, Churchically, Governmentally, statically, partiamentally, and Sabbathically . . . . under the banners of the red,gold and green, the red,black and green, the symbols and the black five point star coming through the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights . Ethiopia/Africa for the Ethiopians/Africans, those at home and us abroad. . . . " From: kesbailey Sent: 9/19/2006 11:49 AMPriest Bailey also writes:"The Red up stands for the blood that Jes-us The Black Christ shed at Mother White's Bridge on Spanish Town Road near to May Pen cemetory and near to the Trench Town Fire Station. At the time of crucifiction the sea was occupying some of these areas that are now dried.The Gold represents the Wealth of the continent of Ethiopia/ Africa our birth right that have been stripped from us because of slavery and the slave trade. The Black represents you and I, (InI) the Black man and woman Just like the five point star in the emblem. The five points represent your Head, Two Hands, and two feet. The Green stands for the green fields of the earth : Ethiopia/Africa the birth home of us the Royal Ethiopian/African Refugees in Exile through slavery. The R stands for Rastafari, Redemption, Repatriation, Righteousness, Right, Repariation.The red up is right, the green up is symbolic and federal. Ethiopia/Africa more so the Crown Head State Addis Ababa is not Federal so it should not have a federal emblem. Green, Gold and Red represents war and blood shed, divde and rule, the teachings of the X world. Addis Ababa is the Thrown Room of The King of kings, and the Lord of lords, The conqueering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, His Own Devine Majeasty: Emperor Haile Selassie I, The First Ancient King of Creation, King Alpha and Queen Omega, First without last protectorate of all human faith and the ruler of the univerese.The green up means that you are walking on your heads. Can you change the colours of the rainbow?, the evil world will try since they are determined to divide and rule us.When you have learnt properly how to gives praises unto our God and King: King Selassie I, Jah Rastafari, then you will learn to appreciate the red turned up like in the Rainbow.When the fascists regime of italy invaded the Horn of Ethiopia/Africa His Majesty Personally turned up the red up in Ethiopia for that was one the reasons why the fascist regime of rome invaded us, after they were defeated at Adowa. Give thanks, with the red up His Majesty returned safe to His throne room and hence discredit, toppled and destroyed the fascists permanently.Until all the flag poles of every nation fly the Red, gold and Green, the red black and green, the black five point star, the R and the lion symbol the world will not know peace. Peace will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued , but never attained.Priest Bailey E.A.B.I.C." From: kesbailey7 Sent: 9/28/2006 10:49 AMLeft Photo: Hon. Priest Bailey, Hon.

Official Web Site http://eabic.netEmblems taken from http://www.houseofbobo.comVery clearly then, the forming of the Rastafari National Council of Jamaica, perhaps the most important action now needed, was delayed because the EABIC refused to sit at the Table of Inity because the Ethiopian flag was flown with the green at the top!!!!????Nyahbinghi Ibernacle: Green uppermostEABIC: Red uppermost.Can the Rastafari bredrens in Jamaica answer the Call for Rastafari Inity and come to the table under one banner?How do the claims of the EABIC stand up in the light of the Teachings of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I? Junior Negus correctly asserts that "I observe the constitution Of Ethiopia written by the King himself in article 124 it states clearly the sequence of the colour. green the upper." Here is the relevant text taken from http://www.angelfire.com/ny/ethiocrown/Constitution.html
THE 1955 REVISED CONSTITUTIONBelow is the text of the Imperial Constitution on 1955 promulgated on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee of Emperor Haile Selassie.PROCLAMATION PROMULGATING THE REVISED CONSTITUTION OF THE EMPIRE OF ETHIOPIAARTICLE 4By virtue of His Imperial Blood, as well as by the anointing which He has received, the person of the Emperor is sacred, His dignity is inviolable and His Powers indisputable. He is consequently entitled to all the honors due to Him in accordance with tradition and the present Constitution. Any one so bold as to seek to injure the Emperor will be punished.GENERAL PROVISIONSCHAPTER VIIIARTICLE 122The present revised Constitution, together with those international treaties, conventions and obligations to which Ethiopian shall be party, shall be the supreme law of the Empire, and all future legislation, decrees, orders, judgments, decisions and acts inconsistent therewith shall be null and void.ARTICLE 123The city of Addis Ababa is the capital of the Empire.ARTICLE 124The Flag of the Empire consists of three horizontal bands, the uppermost green, the middle yellow and the nethermost red, in such details as determined by law.The following is a Timeline of the Ethiopian Flag IstoryFlag Istory:1987: The first Ethiopian flag hoisted on 6 October 1897 -- red over yellow over green with lion carrying cross: [Ras note: this flag was used by Emperor Menelik, and not by Emperor Haile Selassie I. IRIE could not find any pictures of this flag].Before the end of the Italian Fascist Invasion the colours were interpreted as: red for power and faith; yellow for church, peace, natural wealth and love; and green for land and hope. The colours were also interpreted as having a connection to the Holy Trinity, and the three main provinces. At first the flag was used as three separate whimps, and arranged in rectangular shape on 6 October 1897, with red at the top. At some point the order of colours was changed.The old Ethiopian flag had two sides, one with a lion and one with the dragon.The flag is traditionally flown "upside-down" with red at the top when the country was at war.
1941: The pure green yellow red flag with no emblem (no Lion) was adopted (reintroduced) in May 1941 (as civil flag and ensign).
1974: The State flag was modified after Haile Selassie's overthrow (12 September 1974) by removing the crown from the lion's head and by changing the Cross finial to a Spear point. This version lasted only a few years until the Socialists took over and radically changed Ethiopia's symbols.HIM Haile Selassie I in Ethiopia (notice the order of the colors -- green uppermost)President Kennedy and Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, stand in a car during a parade honoring the Emperor. Washington, D.C., Date Photographed: October 1, 1963HIM Haile Selassie During Official State Visit with Marshall Tito of Yugoslavia (notice the order of the colors -- green uppermost)His Imperial Majesty with Queen Elizabeth II riding in the Ethiopian Imperial State Coach during the Queen's visit to Ethiopia in 1966 (notice the order of the colors -- green uppermost)The Imperial Crest of the House of Solomon (notice order of the colors on the Lion of Judah Sceptre -- green uppermost)The above Crest is the Official Coat of Arms and Seal of the Ethiopian Monarchy, and is displayed on this website with the gracious permission of the Ethiopian Crown Council. The arms display the Throne of Solomon, supported by two angels. The angel to the right of the throne bears the Sword of State, and Scales of Justice, symbolizing the role of the Emperor as Supreme Soldier and Supreme Judge. The Angel to the left of the throne bears the Imperial Scepter, symbolizing the sovereignty of the monarch. The Lion of Judah stands before the throne, and the arms are draped under an Imperial Red canopy, surmounted by the Imperial Crown. Below the Lion of Judah appear the words "Moa Anbassa Ze Imnegede Yehuda", translating to "Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah". Omitted from this version of the Crest, is the banner at the base of the arms reading "Ityopia Tabetseh Idewiha Habe Igziabiher", which is a quote from the Psalms of David in the ancient Ge-ez language of Ethiopia, and translates to "Ethiopia Stretches Her Hands unto God", which served as the official Motto in the Imperial Era. http://www.angelfire.com/ny/ethiocrown/Crest.htmlThe Imperial Standard (notice the order of the colors -- green uppermost)The Imperial Standard is the Ethiopian Flag (horizontal Green, Yellow, and Red stripes) St. George slaying the Dragon on the front of the flag. Surrounded with the chain of the Order of Solomon's seal, and the Lion of Judah on the back. The Ethiopian Star of Solomon (Star of David with a Cross Centered on it) would appear on each corner of the standard, front and back. . . . St. George was one of Ethiopia's Patron Saints, and was associated particularly with the Imperial Family and with the Imperial military forces as well. The Battle of Adwa in 1896 which resulted in a resounding victory of Ethiopia over the colonial forces of Italy took place on the feast day of St. George, and it is this event that inspired both the construction of Addis Ababa's St. George Cathedral (Kidus Giorgis) and the placement of this Saint on the Imperial Standard, and on the Standard of the Imperial Army. http://www.angelfire.com/ny/ethiocrown/flags.htmlFront of Imperial StandardEthiopian Airlines was established as Ethiopian Air Lines Inc. In 1945, Emperor Haile Selassie contracted Trans World Airlines to set up and manage the airline (notice the order of the colors -- green uppermost)Ethiopian Flag next to Jamaican flag during Bob Marley 60th Anniversary Tribute in Jamaica (notice the order of the colors -- green uppermost)It should now be clear that the order of the colors according to HIM Haile Selassie I is green uppermost, the middle yellow and the nethermost (bottom) red.Thus, the question is, ought I&I to fly the flag according to the Teachings of HIM Haile Selassie I or according to the EABIC?Emperor Haile Selassie is King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of Judah. I&I God & King is Emperor Haile Selassie, not Prince Emmanuel Charles Edward.The EABIC has a right to fly its own flag(s). That is self-determination. Hower, the EABIC must not derail Rastafari organizing and centralizing efforts, the Global Inity Conference, and Repatriation because of the flag issue.The Rastafari Global Inity Summit is a call for ALL Mansions, Houses, Organizations, Families and Individuals to put aside all other issues (for the time being) and rally around I&I common interest and top priority: Repatriation. Repatriation takes precedence over the issue of the order of the colors, which, now, has been sufficiently answered. For the sake of Rastafari People Worldwide and all the generations of the Africans who survived the middle passage and still desire to return home, the EABIC should come to the table with all Rastafari people under the banner of Ethiopia and Emperor Haile Selassie I:sent to Rasta Ites by Ras Nathaniel
