If you are one of the people who drink coffee, make sure that you aint drinking Ethiopian coffee. If your buying a coffee from an establishment ask about the origin of the coffee, if its ethiopian, do not buy. Spread the word and boycott ethiopian coffee

Why should i boycott Ethiopian Coffee

For a number of reasons including denying tax income to the Ethiopian government. In the grand scheme of things I doubt it'd make little difference but its about the principle.

If drinking from a cafe e.g. costa, starbucks you can ask the staff. If it is from the supermarket it might say it on the packet otherwise you'll have to do a bit of digging e.g. look on company website, call the company it depends on how much effort your willing to put in.

In any case do not drink Nescafe as it is made by Nestle which is another evil entity.

The nestle Boycott campaign:

The Nestlé boycott is a boycott launched on July 7, 1977, in the United States against the Swiss-based Nestlé corporation. It spread quickly throughout the United States, and expanded into Europe in the early 1980s. It was prompted by concern about the Nestle's promotion of breast milk substitutes (infant formula), particularly in less economically developed countries (LEDCs), which campaigners claim contributes to the unnecessary suffering and even deaths of babies, largely among the poor.

The baby milk issue

Groups such as the International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN) and Save the Children claim that the promotion of infant formula over nursing has led to health problems and deaths among infants in less economically developed countries.[2][3] There are four problems that can arise when poor mothers in developing countries switch to formula:

Formula must normally be mixed with water, which is often contaminated in poor countries, leading to disease in vulnerable infants.[4] Because of the low literacy rates in developing nations, many mothers are not aware of the sanitation methods needed in the preparation of bottles. Even mothers able to read in their native tongue may be unable to read the language in which sterilization directions are written.

Even mothers who can understand the sanitation standards required often do not have the means to perform them: fuel to boil water, electric (or other reliable) light to enable sterilisation at night. UNICEF estimates that a formula-fed child living in disease-ridden and unhygienic conditions is between six and 25 times more likely to die of diarrhea and four times more likely to die of pneumonia than a breastfed child.[5]

Many poor mothers use less formula powder than is necessary, in order to make a container of formula last longer. As a result, some infants receive inadequate nutrition from weak solutions of formula.[6]

Breast milk has many natural benefits lacking in formula. Nutrients and antibodies are passed to the baby while hormones are released into the mother's body.[7] Breastfed babies are protected, in varying degrees, from a number of illnesses, including diarrhea, bacterial meningitis, gastroenteritis, ear infection, and respiratory infection.[8][9][10] Breast milk contains the right amount of the nutrients essential for neuronal (brain and nerve) development.[11] The bond between baby and mother can be strengthened during breastfeeding.[9] Frequent and exclusive breastfeeding can also delay the return of fertility, which can help women in developing countries to space their births.[12] The World Health Organization recommends that, in the majority of cases, babies should be exclusively breast fed for the first six months.[13]

What the hell man, do you know how the world works?

These food companies like Nestle, Coca Cola, Snickers only do manufacturing, processing, or distribution - sometimes all 3 - but they don't grow the food in their countries of origin. Nestle buys the raw food products from other countries; Switzerland does not grow coffee beans or cocoa or the other products in the Nestle brand. They take these ingredients and process them with other purchased ingredients or chemicals to make food products and they package and distribute those things.

Monk of Mogadishu,

Like I said, it depends on how much effort the person is willing to put in and what type of coffe the person drinks (not premium in your case).

Why should we deny the Ethiopian government to collect tax money from the selling of these products?

We should keep buying Ethiopian coffee if people making it does not pay the tax to government. We Somalis hate Ethiopians and paying tax money will only make them stronger.

I have a lot against the Habesha midgets and the Ethiopian government but that is for another topic. I can't go into all of that right now. However your cousin, AnanamousFaarax, is asking us to boycott the products of your brothers. And he is not even giving us a solid reason as to why we should boycott Ethiopian products and deny tax money to the Meles regime. You may want to have a talk with him.
