What is in the name RASTA

I took the above photo from a wall of a room. Actually my Dormitery in the campus in which I am living in now. I don’t know who wrote the text. May be one of my dormitories. I haven't tried to find out who it is as I focused only on the content. If you read the text it says Right Africans Standing Together As one. Oh! How beautiful are the words! How smart and holy is the idea! Imagine a united African people(specially youths)  struggling with poverty and many other problems which has poisoned the people of Africa like slaves. You African people out there, bring the courage and bravery that our fathers had when they were fighting to gain their freedom from slavery. Remember the battle of Adwa, the Zulu people and many others. Let’s fight against our problems bravely.  We have to start this from ourselves by trying to be successful on wherever path we are.

           Let me come back to the main gist of this specific blog. The text says Rasta when you read the beginning letters each word or phrase. As I hope you know, Rasteferians are people who believe in Rasteferianism. A belief which was founded in Jamaica after the famous Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie the 1^st (Ras Teferi Mekonen). Rastas are similar in color with us Africans and have proximity in emotion. They love Africa and are very closer to Ethiopia. The righter of the text has used their name to express a united Africa.

A unity under one government like what the Kasablaka group of leaders thought after freedom might not be possible in the current situation.  Bu it is clear that we can be united in sprit. Let's love each other please? Let's bring love and use it as a weapon of destruction to put an end to our sufferings. I will end my idea with the famous saying

       "Love can move mountains."

 Looking forward to see what you have to say on this and expecting   your Comments.

                                     I love Africa and its people.
