It is very shame for Starbucks to be selfish in denial of offer to ones sweat and hardship.Did you ever know the tiresome process to harvest Ethiopian coffee;the coffee which you are proud to earn more and live lexuarious life in the world.Try to be human and let it share the surpluses that you earn from the resource rich but becoming poor from your evil and selfish thoughts.

This Starbucks for that matter I don't want to recall its name is of very unfair to resist giving the patent name of the world known HARERGE,SIDAMO and YIRGACHEFE-Ethiopian known coffee producers.We shall fight until the selfish givis hand.This is a means why Africa including Ethiopia left to be poor for their unfair resource mobilization.

A good question and a point!!! can i also may ask him/her, what have you done individually to change the situation? There can be no patriot who live beyong the ocean and try to rise theoritical question and pretend to be concerned and intellectual. I wish those Ethiopians live in the west just shutup about Ethiopian politics.
