This an educational video on Rastafari that is 1 hour and 36 minutes long.
While growing up in Jamaica I learned and benefitted a lot from the self-empowering teachings of Rastafari. I had also often heard Rastas express a burning desire to “return” to Africa, in particular, Ethiopia. I later learned that many Rastas had indeed realized their repatriation goal and were living in Shashemene, Ethiopia. My studies of Rastafari and my appreciation of Rasta empowering principles resulted in a compelling need (that I still do not yet fully understand why) to visit Shashemene to obtain insight into the philosophy and life of Ethiopia’s repatriated Rastas. In late 2015 I fulfilled my dream and visited Ethiopia. It was an amazing and enlightening experience!
On my arrival in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, I met a gentleman who repatriated from Jamaica 40 years before - Desmond Martin. I was immediately struck and impressed with Desmond's personality that I immediately asked him for an interview right there in my hotel room at Addis Ababa. He obliged. This video is his story ... in his words.
The video was in nine parts that I combined into this one video for a continuous flow. The result is a 1 hour and 36 minutes long video … so plan accordingly to watch it when you so choose. It is not a perfect production of videography, but it does present Desmond’s remarkable and entertaining account of his journey in Rastafari. Watch, listen and learn.
Bless up.....
Wow, shashamane has changed from when I lived there with my dad. Just seeing this and I can remember my father telling me about exactly what is happening now back then when I went to Ethiopia to live with him in the 80's , I was young and never understood what he was talking about but he planted that seed and Now I see as Babylon is falling down people are trying to repartriate to Africa. My father did what he had to do to prepare for the return of the people and I am so proud of him that he made a sacrifice and did what the most high put in him to do and his hard work and sacrifice was done so that my brother and I and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren have a home to go to when the west fall. Love you daddy and thank you 🙏
This is powerful....and will only be better understood and more appreciated in the future.
I think you the interviewer is quite a patient and focus person. You did an excellent job in the struggle to keep the interview on track so that we the viewers can make some sense out of it .
Very interesting documentary, Ragashanti. Makes me want to visit Ethiopia 😎🏁
Blessed love lord Desmond, a pillar in King’s House!!!
Welcome to origin of the human kind Ethiopia. A home of ethio-Jamaica
Love rasta
Love Ethiopia
Love jamaica
I have learnt so much from this interview...very informative
This is a well documented documentary of our dearly beloved brethren and homeland. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this from start to finish. It brings back memories of my time spent when I was there in 2011. Mr. Stewart, the Rastafarian community thank you 👏🏿🙌🏿🙏🏿❤💛💚💯
Desmond had an immediately profound impact on me. His vision, charisma, genuineness, and his unwavering focus on the repatriation exercise are indelibly imprinted in my consciousness. His, and his colleagues', commitment to the repatriation initiative has yielded and will continue to yield various successes in the future. I wholeheartedly wish them all the best.
Respek and blessings.

Me a die hard Ragga fan , me see that interview some long time ago 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
After 40 yrs in Ethiopia and having kids there yet no citizenship is appalling and rid a human for his love for his nation. Someone in the Ethiopian parliament circuit should highlight this and get this man his human and constitutional rights.
It can't be your paradise .when you are not fully excepted its like the same way European will treat you he better off in Jamaica if people catch the inner
hello this is king solo from highway .high Desi how you all are doing how about Mebrat..from the interview do you mention how a farmer broken 100 meter sprint.oh man i missed you guys .specially danny .hope i will see you some days.jah ras Tefera.
You have to go back to visit again shashemene
Post it 2021, watching now
Ragga SHANTI , I met brother Desmond in November 2018 when i visited Ethiopia for the first time and he was telling me the same thing i hear he saying to you that Jesus is Higher them H.I.M. So i had to let he know that no one can not be higher dan Girmawi wish mean first man. Qe'damawi wish mean first King. the European did not say in the beginning the word was with H.IM Instead they use god wish is dog backward because if they use the word H.I.M The world would realized who His Majesty is, so i was the one that let brother Desmond and the rest of the Rastafarians know this fact so if you should ever talk Desmond again am sure he wouldn't talk that way again
Haile Selassie the first. is Power of the holy Trinity wish is one in three and three in one, wish means Father, Son, and holy Spirit, so H.I.M IS the heights the Almighty with no apologies.

Greetings.....are you knowledgeable about the 13 months with 28 days each?.
my dad on youtube much love
Philistia and tyre with Ethiopia,this man was born there. Psalm 87. That should answer the question why we know God is there in the flesh.
Sure He S there
I just visited its sad whats happening now
I'm planning to relocate having a good motels
Why would i go to a place and after 40years cant become molding in the country since he is saying originally slavery was taking out of Ethiopia to Jamaica .what we know aint true .but all respect to the elder .who got caught on believe system .but if he is happy from within thats what matter l
Interesting interview with Desmond Martin. A lot of what he is saying makes no practical sense from then until now....Raga yu fraid fi tell Desmond on camera dat yu nuh believe
Oromo tribe claimed the Shashemene and Ormo's themselves they stall the land on 18th century, Addis Ababa on 13th century from other minorities like the Gurages , but Gurages love and respect the Rastafarians so much. Guys get a licensed gun for self-defense because now you are Ethiopian that means you have the right to defend yourselves. This is Oroms pure envy and we deeply sadden by what happened to the gentleman.
Ethiopia for TEABETH china

Just seeing this interview. I gave you the red card😀at least you honest. Anyway we are heartical Bredrin.
Hello. Do you know Desmond personally?
@@Ragashanti100 yes I do I am his ex-wife Judy 😀
Anyway we are good no animosity we have Kids, Grandkids and Great Grandkids together.💕
Lol good to see this interview, big up uncle Dessi. We need to visit you guys.
He wants to be Ethiopian but he doesn't want his children to fight for ethiopia in times of war.?....foolishness. He doesn't deserve ethiopian citizenship for that traitorous remark.
In the ’80s, young adults were being drafted to fight in essentially a civil war. Those national drafts didn’t follow any logic. Even the locals who normally would fight for the country were unhappy, often hiding their children from being drafted. It was so traumatic for parents to lose children not old enough to fight to national draft. And it was worse for the children. I believe he was referring to that experience and not necessarily now.
I found him to represent Ethiopia in a way that very few would represent it. I enjoyed it!
U r a fool....hes right and thers no ethiopian thats want to fight this politician wars.
We ethiopian only fight on just wars like the time of the italian or when the muslims back then.
Evrey ethiopian agree wit him.
🤫
No parent wants their kids too fight
He needs to read the Bible again, and surely he can do more than one chapter per day. The poor man is confused
Yamakosi where in the bible it says God comming from sky?
@@jimmyandtheresurrection7247 , where does that question comes from?
What’s the relevance?
@@jimmyandtheresurrection7247 , not sure if it says so but people say so , I know son of man was coming on a cloud, it didn’t say son of god, there’s definitely a city coming from the sky ? Ppl say a lot what the Bible don’t ssy
The blind leading the blind....you are both lost
He can simply choose to read one chapter a day. That doesn’t make anyone “confused.” He didn’t claim only one chapter can be read and was only speaking for himself.
Relocating from Jamaica to Ethiopia is like jumping from frying pan into the fire.
Selassie, the supposed Messiah persecuted and starved his own people to death, then turned around and grant free land to weed smoking long hair foreigners. I’m confused
F..u
Shashamane Belong to oramo Not Bantus Who were Slave
Go and pray to the black stone in Mecca. I hope you get a chance to kiss and touch it so it can forgive you for your sins
West Africans are not Bantu, your Muslim brothers in Kenya, Somalia, Uganda and Tanzania are Bantu.
Prophet luqman and prophet musa were Bantus
