exploring shashamane: inside the rastafarian community in ethiopia"🇪🇹

Ай бұрын

Welcome to Shashamane, Ethiopia - a place known for its vibrant Rastafarian community. Here, members of the Rastafari movement from around the world have made their home, drawn by the idea of returning to their African roots.
In the 1960s, Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I granted land in Shashamane to the African diaspora, inviting them to return to Africa. Since then, this community has thrived, embracing Rastafarian beliefs, culture, and way of life.
Walking through the streets of Shashamane, you'll see colorful murals depicting scenes of Rastafarian culture, hear reggae music playing in the background, and feel a sense of unity among the community members.
The Rastafarian community in Shashamane is not just a place to live - it's a spiritual journey, a way of life that connects its members to their African heritage and to each other.
As you explore Shashamane, you'll meet people from all walks of life, united by their faith, their love for Ethiopia, and their commitment to living in harmony with nature.

I came to Shashamene firstly in 1997. A beautiful place of culture and Caribbean people...not only Rastafarians, but Garveyites & conscious people.... I have since been to Ethiopia several times after, latest being in 2018, where I spent more time in the North of the country and a some time in Addis Ababa. My deep■ concern■ is regarding the INFRASTRUCTURES.... in inner-city Shashamene, is: ■ WHY almost 30 YEARS LATER, these roads are NOT properly paved and drains and proper drainage NOT developed ? The goverment needs to do better and the locals create a council fighting for more development. Addis Ababa is an extremely modern● city■ with hugh buildings, hotels , businesses and clean, paved roads....there is NO reason WHY the inner parts of Shashamene are not more developed today & sanitation measures and proper garbage disposals, not in place. Enough foreigners live here to fight● for that cause.

BrownBoy, In Africa, it's not always about money; people love to see new people, which they call forengi. They love to enjoy new experiences. Be friendly while staying alert, but don't push people directly away, thinking there is always money they want from you, as they may want to greet you, speak to you, or be around you. Easy up a bit with the locals. This way, you can enjoy more new experiences.

I think to solve this pressing issue with some of the diaspora feeling out of place whether they decide to relocate to the Caribbean or Africa. For those who do choose to want to live in African for instance I think the African government should designate a large piece of land where the people of the diaspora could bring their skills in order for them to start from scratch and build their own city. This would then resolve the problem once and for all because the diaspora would have more in common with each other and could solve common issues together in appose to them being taken advantage of in other situations etc. I hope I’m making sense or you understand where I’m coming from bro.

One thing that you should know from outset is the so called "Rastafarian religion" is not known in Ethiopia. The person who was called "Ras Tafari" was believer of orthodox church (which is a mix of Judaism and Christianity). He is not from Judah as they are claiming. He is from Oromo in Ethiopia rather. He became king for uncivilized majority of Ethiopians at that time. The religious controversy is only an illusion from few Jamaicans (hallucination) or fantasy after smoking a series of weeds. Their manifesto is an imitation and copy paste from Holy Bible (Jesus Christ, the real Lion of Judah). Similarly, the Muslims (Mohammed followers) did same thing.
