Nigist, thank you for your comment and links of names to reecsrah. The interview with Mesfin is his life story and the history he grew up in. His views are his experiences from being born and growing up in Shashamane. He has a right to tell his life story as he knows it. If you have time you should also check out the Rastafarian exhibit at the National Museum of Natural History in DC. There you will find connections of Emperor Haile Selassie and the Shashamane tribe. Please know that we at The Ethiopian Foundation interview the history of the founders and report their motivation for why they decided to open a non-profit. The work of all the organizations presented on this site is to be commended as they are sacrificing and giving back to their community through finances and resources. Thank you again for your comments. They are always welcomed.
