Stalinism to start-ups Traditionally it takes rather a long time to be served a cup of coffee in Ethiopia - but things are now speeding up. As coffee plants originate from the east African nation - where they first grew wild before cultivation started in the country more than 1,000 years ago - it is perhaps unsurprising that Ethiopians take coffee drinking very seriously. So much so that Ethiopia has a ceremonial method of making coffee at home that continues to this day. The ceremony sees raw beans roasted over hot coals, with each person in attendance being invited to savour the smell of the fumes. The beans are then ground with a wooden pestle and mortar before finally being brewed - twice - in a clay boiling pot called a jebena. Continue reading the

AFcon 2015: Ethiopia defeats Mali 3-2 in Bamako

Image
Bamako, Mali -  The Ethiopian national team “Walias” achieved a surprising result here today when they beat Mali 3-2 to avenge their 2-0 defeat in Addis Ababa on Saturday. It was Mali who scored first through Bakary Sako (32″), but the Walias responded with 2 quick goals of their own by Omed Oukri (36′) and Getaneh Kebede (45′). The second half didn’t start well for the Walias as Getaneh Kebede was given his marching order (59″) to be followed by Mali equalizing in the 69th minute thanks to Mustaph Yattabare. It was Abebaw Butako who scored the winning goal for Ethiopia in extra time. http://www.ethiosports.com/2014/10/15/afcon-2015-ethiopia-defeats-mali-3-2-in-bamako/

Census: Foreign-born Africans Most Educated Immigrants in the U.S.

New York  (TADIAS) – According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s latest American Community Survey 41% of the African-born population in the United States obtained bachelor’s degrees or higher between 2008 and 2012 compared with 28% of the overall foreign-born U.S. population. The study, which was released this month, indicates a rapid population growth among the foreign-born African community in the United States. In the past two decades, the document says, most Africans came to America through the Green Card lottery system, which partially explains African immigrants’ higher educational level. “A relatively high proportion of immigrants from Africa entered the United States on diversity visas (24 percent as compared with 5 percent of the overall foreign born), which require a high school diploma or equivalent work experience,” the report states. The survey gives a conservative estimate of the total number of African immigrants currently residing in U.S at less than 2 million. Noneth
