I pray all is well with you, and your Loved ones.
I-man just wanted to encourage the bredren to keep doing what you do. You are awaking more people than you think. Teaching people to say The Emperors name correctly, you can't ask for a better deed than that! Ya Blessed Bredren......The youtube videos you put up are on Fiyya.......The more I search about Garvey, the more I'm confused as to why the so called elder Ras Tafarians, are fighting against the facts. They tell me they knew he slandered
the Emperor, I was like what! They say His Majesty Forgave Garvey, I don't thinks so, cuz no man can repent from the grave. Many of them have Jah Name in their mouths, but their hearts are far from HIM......All they keep saying is,"Yaw youth got too much fiyya burn in yaw". Was it not The Lord who stated, "I alone make my ministers as a Flame of Fiyya" .....Owo
When I return to the east coast, I pray we will link up. The man and I is on the same page when it comes to the Issues dealing with the way The Ras Tafarian movement is headed...Just remember, there are others who fight with you, when you feel like the World is attacking you........Stay Blessed Negus Iadonis Tafari...
Rev. James Morris Webb.......I never knew til now .....Owo....amesege'nallo'

Let us all pray as one for the security and well fare of all those in Ethiopia who suffer under decades of incompetent government.

SHASHEMENE, Ethiopia — Nine-month-old Alfiya Galeto weighed just 10 lbs. when she arrived at the makeshift clinic here, her eyes dull and her arms as thin as drinking straws. There was no food in their village, her mother said, and for weeks she'd been fed nothing but breast milk.
In the week after this clinic was opened by the medical charity Doctors Without Borders, nearly 300 children like Alfiya were admitted for severe malnutrition. In the poor farming villages around Shashemene, in drought-ravaged southern Ethiopia , aid workers believe that hundreds and perhaps thousands more children are starving.
A serious drought and the worldwide surge in food prices are fueling one of Ethiopia's gravest hunger crises in years, with 6 million children younger than five urgently needing food, according to the United Nations Children's Fund , or UNICEF . Relief workers say scores of children already have died.
But international humanitarian groups say the Ethiopian government has been slow to respond. Prime Minister Meles Zenawi's government hasn't publicly declared an emergency and, the agencies say, has downplayed their estimates of the severity of the situation.
Arid, overpopulated and chronically hungry, Ethiopia receives more food aid than all but a handful of countries worldwide— most of it from the United States , which has provided $300 million in emergency assistance to relief agencies in the past year. U.S. officials defend Ethiopia , a key regional ally, arguing that the government was caught off-guard by the extent of the drought and by how quickly malnutrition rates rose in recent months.
But there were warning signs.
A U.S. humanitarian assessment mission warned in January that humanitarian conditions "could significantly deteriorate" in the impoverished southeastern Somali region. By February— as rainfall remained scant, maize and other staple crops failed and inflation soared— international aid workers reported that malnourished children were showing up at hospitals in southern Ethiopia .
In an address to parliament on March 18 , Meles said that reports of drought-related deaths were "false." It wasn't until last week that a delegation of Ethiopian emergency relief officials toured Shashemene and other parts of the drought-ravaged south. According to humanitarian officials who were briefed on the visit, the Ethiopians were "shocked" by the conditions and pledged to respond.
"It is absolutely critical at this stage that the government of Ethiopia recognizes the depth of its problem, and works to ensure that its children survive this crisis," said one senior international aid official who, like several interviewed for this story, requested anonymity for fear of angering Ethiopian officials.
The head of another international relief group said: "Is it a lack of information or is it denial? The government needs to recognize this is an emergency, to convene donors and to facilitate the arrival of assistance in the country."
Ethiopian officials weren't available for comment. But the inability to feed itself is at odds with the image that the government wants to project: that of a country on the rise, with annual economic growth of around 10 percent, fresh off a massive coming-out celebration last year to mark the year 2000 on the Ethiopian calendar.
At the Doctors Without Borders clinic in Shashemene, 150 miles south of Addis Ababa , 277 children were admitted in the first eight days. Hundreds more are in outpatient care in far-flung clinics in the countryside. In Seraro, a remote town about two hours from here, aid workers reported that 55 had died by mid-May.
The children in Shashemene are faring slightly better. Four have died, but the vast majority are slowly putting on weight thanks to a steady diet of fortified milk and Plumpy'nut— a protein-enriched, peanut butter-like paste often used in famine relief.
On a recent afternoon, a group of mothers smiled as 12-month-old Hirwot, who'd been admitted a week earlier with persistent diarrhea, weighed in at 3 pounds heavier and was transferred out of the ward reserved for the most serious cases.
Alfiya, the 9-month-old, looked in awful shape when her mother brought her in from their village 50 miles away. Her limp body was swallowed by a pale green sweater and flies buzzed about her head, which was scabbed with sores.
But Veronique DeClerck , a Belgian midwife who inspected the child, pronounced that she would survive.
"Now that she's here, she gets treatment and she'll make it," DeClerck said. "But the problem is when they go home, and there's still no food."
Relief agencies say they badly need more Plumpy'nut, vitamin-enriched milk, antibiotics and other treatments. Some agencies complain that the government continues to impose heavy import duties on emergency supplements like Plumpy'nut, which is taxed at about 50 percent.
Of $50 million needed for life-saving food and medical care, UNICEF says that donor countries have chipped in only $6 million .
"We are far from knowing the magnitude of the situation," said Francois Calas , country coordinator for the Belgian arm of Doctors Without Borders. "We can expect the coming months to be very difficult as well."
Relations between the government and relief agencies are severely strained. Last year, during a secretive military operation against rebels in the Somali region, also known as the Ogaden, the government temporarily expelled the International Committee of the Red Cross and teams from Doctors Without Borders from the area. Ogaden refugees have since described massive human rights violations by Ethiopian soldiers.
Earlier in 2007, the government refused to declare a cholera outbreak that killed hundreds of people and infected more than 60,000. Despite U.N. tests showing that the epidemic was indeed cholera, Ethiopian officials insisted on calling it "acute watery diarrhea," which may have slowed the international response, aid officials said.

When the rain came to the city of Shashemene in the south of Ethiopia, it was already too late. The harvest season was over.
Because of the drought, food stocks are low. To respond to the growing famine, the NGO Doctors without Borders is carrying an emergency intervention. In just 10 days, the NGO has treated more than 300 children suffering from severe malnutrition.
Some have already died, their bodies weakened by the lack of adequate food.
"There is almost nothing,” says Mieke Steenssens, a Field Coordinator for the NGO. “They almost don't have any food left in their homes. I heard from the patients that the next harvest will begin in four or five months so we are expecting more children and more problems."
Shumano lives in the village of Aga, about 20 kilometers away from the hospital. He came looking for food and medical help for his baby daughter and pregnant wife.
"I brought my child here even though my land is fertile,” Schumano says. “The rain arrived too late and there are no crops. I have four children waiting for me at home.”
"We don't have any food left at home,” Shumano’s wife says. “I don't know how I will feed my unborn child."
In the absence of long-term solution, food and water supplies keep dwindling in Ethiopia, putting yet more lives at stake.

InI ought to hail each other every day, true today could be our last..so Hail Ras Iadonis and to the I, a Peacefull and Joyous Fathers Day!

Ras Tafari Empress Menen greetings Ras Iadonis Tafari,That's a nice name. Does it mean something?
Give thanks for your interest for Empress Menen Foundation (EMF).
EMF founded for a better quality of life for all, beginning with the Elders of Rastafari. Yvone Gayle, Empress Askale Selassie, EMF founder been inspired by THE TEACHINGS OF HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY EMPEROR HAILE SELASSIE FIRST AND EMPRESS MENEN.
...In APRIL 21ST, 1963, WAS Good Friday, the date the Crucifixion Order went out from the lips of then PM Bustamante of Jamaica."Bring in all Rastas dead or alive". This was an order that was kept and executed by the armed forces on and throughout the island. Eyewitness accounts of Rastas tied by their locks, then marched thru' the streets, stoned: and abused by passersby; taken up into the bushes, gunshots are heard after awhile and then the return of the soldiers by themselves!!!No Rasta with them!. EMF has eyewitness's to 2 such incidents IN St Mary & St Elizabeth (www.myspace.com/himnhrh).
Soon after Bustamante made the first part of the Ethnic Cleansing Speech; he became very sick and was seconded by Shearer Acting PM who continued this work with,SHOOT FIRST AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER!
THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE MOST OPPRESSIVE TIMES IN RASTAFARI HISTORY ON THE ISLAND.
... In 1928, fascist Italy was prepared to invade Ethiopia. Her Royal Highness Empress Menen gathered Ethiopian ladies preparing logistic support, first aid materials and sent to the battle field. She had done her best up to the end.
Empress Menen Foundation is also continuity of Empress Menen devotion for her people. As her KING said "A man's happiness is to make his brother happy and to serve his country".
Please also see www.myspace.com/yungstaged, another website which features Empress Menen Foundation and this page is excellent example of the Mission and purpose of the Foundation.
