Ba Beta Kristiyan Haile Selassie I
The placards read 'Economic Liberation', although Selassie was deposed because of economic failures

Rastafarians of the Church of Haile Selassie I protested opposite the Ethiopian Embassy calling for the restoration of the
Dynasty of Emperor Haile Selassie 1st to bring about economic liberation of the country.
The Ba Beta Kristiyan Church of Haile Selassie I in Cricklewood holds an annual protest outside the embassy in Kensington
calling for the return of the monarchy in their country, as well as organising an on-line petition. Ethiopia was the only
African country to defeat the European colonialists and was the first independent African state to become a member of the
League of Nations and the UN under Emperor Haile Selassie I.
Haile Selassie was am Ethiopian Orthodox Christian and widely regarded as a powerful but repressive and undemocratic
ruler. Rastafarians see him as a messiah who will bring in a new golden age.
In 1974 an economic crisis in Ethiopia led to riots and eventually a group of army officers, the DERG took power, and Haile
Selassie, then 83, died under possibly suspicious circumstances following an operation in prison. The communist Derg,
formally abolished in 1987 was eventually replaced in 1991 following military defeat by a coalition of opposition forces after
support from the Soviet Union had ended. Since then the country has been nominally democratic, but effectively an
authoritarian one-party state with fraudulent elections and strict control of the opposition and press.
The petition - now closed - by The Church of Haile Selassie 1st "to bring back a traditional culture which unites the people in
ethiopia/afrika ,creating peace and stability which will spread to the wider world. 1936 - 41 restoration, four years later saw
the end of world war two." attracted 61 supporters on Change.org.May 2014 - my london diary
