Question - to what extent is the Garveyite government involved in Sub-Saharan Africa? In The Garvey Movement in British West Africa, R.L. Okonkwo points out that OTL's UNIA was prominent in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria, even influencing early Nigerian nationalism, and reached its peak in the late 1920s. It also possessed a bit of influence in the Gold Coast but wasn't as popular there as it was in the previously mentioned nations.

ITTL, you mention the Black Star Party getting involved in Ethiopia when Haile Selassie invites the Negro Factories Corporation into Ethiopia and invests in Ethiopia. There's even mention of a UNIA-influenced Black Cross faction partaking in the drafting of the 1931 Constitution as well. Does this mean the UNIA/BSP is significantly involved in East Africa beyond Ethiopia?

It depends. Extensively in Liberia (obviously) and in Sierra Leone as in OTL, and also British Colonies generally, where they try to keep their activities *just* on the side of legal, IE: advocating for increased local autonomy and rights for Negros. South Africa is a bit of an exception for... obvious reasons. There's also a UNIA Initiative To the League of Nations (UNIAITLN, Garvey got the acronym fever) that aims to get the League of Nations Mandates in Africa (IE: former German colonies) to eventually become independent states, or at least be promoted to Class A mandates like the Middle Eastern ones. UNIA support is less prevalent in French colonies, even less so in Spanish, and illegal in Portugal and the Belgian Congo.

Yes, especially in Tanganyika, see the previous bit about the Mandate Initiative.

How goes the UNIA's efforts at establishing their Pan-African/Pan-Negro Empire? I imagine that desire would be quite blunted by Garvey coming into power in '27 and the more radical members of the UNIA/BSP being conscripted into the Liberian Frontier Force.

I doubt the Garveyist administration would continue to push for a pan-African empire when they already have enough on their plate.
