Nyabinghi (Mansion of Rastafari)

Probably the largest Rastafari group, the House of Nyabinghi is an aggregate of more traditional and militant Rastas who seek to retain the movement close to the way in which it existed during the 1940s.

This name, Niyabinghi, was actually mainly attributed to the prisoners across the continent of Africa and later groups of people in Jamaica (mainly from Pinnacle, the Rastafarian camp of Leonard P. Howell) who were going on hunger strikes and rebelling against the short Italian occupation of Ethiopia and the exile of Haile Selassie during the Scramble for Africa after the Berlin Conference.

They also didn't cut their hair in rebellion, which eventually grew into dreadlocks and was against the social norms at the time.

They were internationally revered as warrior monks similar to the Levites of the Tanakh; adopting some of the same lifestyle choices (e.g., not cutting their hair).

Some people say the meaning attributed by the Rastas at the name Nyabinghi is "death and judgment to all black and white oppressors".
