No surprise there, Abyssinia has been screwing us, in every conceivable way, be it politically, militarily, or economically, for well over a millennia, a trend which is unlikely to change anytime soon. As hard as this may sound, it is time for us to accept the harsh reality, as it exists, and stop burying our collective heads into the sand.

People tend to forget that the Xabashis themselves consume it in large amounts the Frog aka Meles Zenawi was a perfect example.

Thats the Somali region of Ethiopia. Not Habashi

I guess this place is haramaya / Armajo, north of babile and it's before you reach harar and dire dawa.

You gotta give it to the Xabashas they manipulate us and they also feed us (leaves/poison)

Actually khat is banned in Meles' home state of Tigray and carries a heavy felonious penalty, they know its ill effects. In Ethiopia, khat is known as the Muslim drug. Christians and others drink and look down on it. A lot of farmers in the Harar/Babile/Dire area have switched from growing coffee to khat in the last decade because it's a better cash crop, since you have millions of Somalis due east hooked on the stuff.
