Shashamane is a town in the southern part of the Shoa province of Ethiopia, roughly 150 miles from the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, and the home of I Majesty ancestors. Located in the Rift Valley at an altitude of 2000 feet, it is famous for its fertile land and lies on both sides of the Kings Highway, which leads to Nairobi, Kenya. Shashamane, originally established as a garrison town, dates back to the beginning of the 19th century.
Shashamane, a small village near the district town of Malkoda, gained international attention in the African Diaspora when 500 acres of its fertile land were granted as a gift to the Black people of the West in 1948 by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I, reigning Ethiopian Emperor.
The Emperor sent his personal Emissary Dr. Malaku E. Bayen to organize the support of Africans in the Americas, under the banner of Ethiopian World Federation Inc. (E.W.F), registered in New York, USA. Exactly 7 years after the Liberation of Ethiopia and the return of the Emperor in 1941, the triumphant Emperor Haile Selassie I, bestowed the gift to the Black peoples of the West of 500 acres of land in Shashamane, Shoa Province.
In 1975 then Government of Ethiopia issued the land reform proclamation, nationalizing all lands in Ethiopia,. In 1976 the remaining Jamaican settlers made a petition through the Embassy of Jamaica for the return of the land grant, and 100 acres was returned and divided among the settlers. Today the population of the settlement has grown to over 200 of which 65% are children born on the land!
