BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – THE Tewoladi House of David in collaboration with the Trinity Trod Youth Alliance will be hosting a celebration in commemoration of Ethiopia’s Victory Day on Sunday, May 6 at the Railway Bar, Old Road.
According to a member of the Tewoladi House of David, the Victory Day marks the day when Ethiopia defeated Italy on May 5, 1941.
It is the day when Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I was said to have returned from exile with Gideon forces, and his army with the help of British soldiers was able to free Ethiopia from the Italian army that had occupied the country for five years.
In 1935, Benito Mussolini the 40th Prime Minister of Italy and also founder of Fascism, invaded Ethiopia with the blessings of the then Pope.
“Here you have the Pope blessing Italy to invade a Christian nation. It was a Christian nation invading a Christian nation, so one of them had to be the Anti-Christ. And from the Bible we read that the Pope and the fascist army, Mussolini and Hitler, were the Anti-Christ at that time and Haile Selassie, at that time reigning on the throne of David, was representing God.
“Representing the people and representing God, not for Ethiopia but the whole world. Ethiopia was the only nation that was not enslaved by another nation; it was the only nation that has been free since man was created on earth,” he said.
The event will comprise of a fun/sports day for the children, an agri-market where fresh produce will be on sale and a cultural show.
Some of the performers include Ras Sankofa, Fire man Ashkenaz, Ras Khalid, Elder Ira and Masud Sadiki and the Limitless Band.
The event will begin at 3:00 p.m. and end 9:00 p.m. and will be free of cost.
