Ethiopia (the new name for Abyssinia), like the Republic of the Sudan, is also ruled by people of mixed blood who not only do not consider themselves African by race, but who maintain a privileged class society based upon color. To them, all black-skinned Africans are “Bantu.” To these they feel superior by reason of “white blood,” and their discriminatory practices are just as subtle and real as those of the whites. And, although the enslavement of black-skinned Africans continues in both countries even in our times, both the Sudan and the new Ethiopia have adopted the “Brotherhood Front” since the sudden rise of so many independent African states. This enables the Sudan to serve as “bridge” between the Arab world and the new black states, and thus control or influence their international policies through the United Nations; and Ethiopia is able to control, more directly, or influence Black Africa through Western backing in establishing the headquarters of the Organization of African Unity in Addis Ababa and pushing Haile Selassie into the key role of continent-wide leadership, thus blocking the “dangerous” influence of Kwame Nkrumah.
