一、咖啡农心声Coffee is for Kaffa. This is beyond an economic question.


二、埃塞新总理的贸易策略Beyond what may be the purest intentions of the youthful protesters, there are some clandestine elements at play here. New Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed has cost a lot of corrupt men a lot of money. If he isn’t tightening the restrictions on what coffee exporters can use their financing for — it’s an all-too-common practice for exporters to sell endless boxes of coffee at a loss in order to have foreign currency and clout with the banks to finance importing more profitable items, like trucks — then he is wresting government housing back from men who’ve illegally occupied and then rented them out, and he is handing the keys to the actual disabled and extremely poor people for which they were built.He’s making it harder to do business without paying proper taxes. He is, in other words, making things more difficult for many men who have made their fortunes off of other people’s misfortunes — and those men refuse to go down without a fight. 埃塞大量的咖啡出口,需要更有利益的进口物资来平衡贸易顺差。像中国清代时的茶叶出口策略。埃塞新总理 Dr. Abiy Ahmed 的对手正是那些将咖啡财富建立在穷苦的咖啡农身上的 嗜血亡命之徒般的腐败政客、商人。


三、西达摩是独立州了。 Some arrests were made of the zone officials, who shouldn’t have authorized the blocking of the roads. Five days after it began, the protest was over, but its implications are broad and immediate. A few days later, the Kaffa leadership council voted to apply for separate statehood, following the recent recognition of Sidama as a separate state. 这次和平抗议促使西达摩上升为独立的州了。西达摩下有GUJI产区,而GEDEBE下有耶加产区,以前西达摩是在耶加产区下的产区。


Since the Coffee & Tea Authority apologized for the misunderstanding but did not announce Kaffa as the birthplace of coffee, the controversy continues. Still, whether the exact site is Kaffa or Jimma, Ethiopia will remain the mystic motherland for coffee, wreathed in mists of frankincense and rich like a sini cup full of traditional buna.sini cup full of traditional buna , 埃塞俄比亚传统咖啡
