Congratulations to all who worked hard to broker peace in Ethiopia that took place in Pretoria, South Africa yesterday. It stopped a war that has costed several hundred thousand of lives and displaced millions for the last two years. It was a truly African solution to a African problem. We hope this leds to true Pan Africanism and a lasting peace, not just in Ethiopia, but to all Africa.

Usually AZCentral unveils their best restaurants at the end of the year in December but Christmas came early!
Thanks for this great article writing “…EthioAfrican has quickly become a destination for Ethiopian food in Phoenix. The restaurant reopened in January after an extensive six-month renovation that included paneling the walls with Ethiopian wood and peppering the dining room with colorful mesob baskets. A lot of care has been put into this humble strip mall setting, and it shows…on my latest visit, that included a standout berbere spiced doro wat key made with a chicken leg and hard-boiled egg, as well as a chunky keyser salad of roasted beets with potatoes and garlic. The injera was one of the most interesting and delicious parts of the meal, as EthioAfrican's version is darker and spongier than other varieties…” Read the rest of the story here! shorturl.at/hL079
