[[File:Mulla asghar.jpg|thumbnail|[[Mulla Asghar Jaffer]], the first president of the [[World Federation]] of Khoja Shia Ithna-Asheri Muslim Communities]] | |||
After people of Asian descent were expelled from [[Uganda]], Khojas migrated to [[London]] in the 1970s and began to build the foundations for this organization. After the [[African Federation]] and various Khoja communities from different countries around the world were established, the leaders of some of these communities gathered for an assembly in London. The goal of this assembly was to discuss the establishment of the World Federation to connect all of them together. In this assembly, a committee was formed in order to write a draft for its constitution. In a conference that took place a year later, various communities approved the drafted constitution and the World Federation was officially established to begin its formal activities. In the same year, this organization became registered as an official religious charitable organization in England. | After people of Asian descent were expelled from [[Uganda]], Khojas migrated to [[London]] in the 1970s and began to build the foundations for this organization.
