(a) To promote love and good will among Ethiopians at home and abroad and thereby to maintain the integrity and sovereignty of Ethiopia, to disseminate the ancient Ethiopian culture among its members, to correct abuses, relieve oppression and carve for ourselves, and our posterity, a destiny comparable with our idea of perfect manhood and God’s purpose in creating us: that we may not only save ourselves from annihilation, but carve for ourselves a place in the sun: In this endeavor, we determine to seek peace and pursue it, for it is will of God for man.
