Ayantu, I couldn't agree more. The fact remains that the coffee is grown in Ethiopia which encompases the "nation of Oromo". As you may well be aware, like many nations, the government doesn't truly represent the opinions of its citizens. I have Oromian friends which I consider to be more of sisters and who are closer to me than some of my relatives. Matter of fact, I have Oromo heritage myself. Never for one moment do I entertain the thought of our so called differences because we are not. We are one and the same. We represent the people of Ethiopia which is enriched by many cultures and languages. Supporters of the change should not let their attitudes towards the government overshadow a historical fact. Ethiopian coffee forever!!!
