Today marks the anniversary of the Battle of Adwa, a momentous victory for the black man. It is indeed a day
for the African and people of African descent to assess our current situation and agree on the need for unity in
development.
Here in Ghana, the current political tensions calls for renewed patriotism and a focus on national unity. The
Rastafari Council, Ghana is hereby calling on all Ghanaians, regardless of political orientation to focus on
national development in unity.
The Council would like to call on our political leaders to be minded of the role they play in shaping the destiny
of our beloved Ghana. History will judge them by their actions and inactions.
On our part as Rastafari, we will continue to contribute our quota as well-meaning citizens. As such, the 7th
National Rastafari Conference on Saturday, March 5 at Mankessim will provide a platform for continued
deliberations under the theme ‘Rastafari and Politics – Opportunities for Rastafari in Ghanaian Politics.’ The
Keynote Speaker is Rabbi Kohain Halevi.
Let us continue to shine as the Black Star of Africa.
Signed
Ahuma Bosco Ocansey
President
