Finally rediscovered and experienced the best #Ethiopian place in west #Philly . Kaffa Crossing. We loved the place and went several times before the pandemic, but after that for my birthday We went the last 2 years because its out of the way and it turns out that during the pandemic 5-6 bars would bought up and converted into Ethiopian restaurants. I couldn't remember what the one we liked was because I kept confusing the name with ones from Indy or Virginia. THIS time finally I know which one it is that we love. It really was amazing food. Recommend if you are in the area and know that hole in the wall places have some of the best food in the world.

"When the #Ethiopian government and the Tigrayan opposition signed a cessation of hostilities agreement in late 2022, the deal ended one of the most lethal wars of the 21st century. ... Credible estimates suggest that the death toll surpassed 600,000, which is likely an underestimate."

Foreign Policy · Stop the Next Ethiopia-Eritrea War Before It BeginsBy Payton Knopf

"#Food is a “powerful portal into memory, family histories and #cultural #traditions,” according to the initiative’s website, and “transmits cultural identity l’dor vador — from generation to generation.”
Kuhn said they are definitely seeing an upswing in food-focused projects, as “food brings people together and is a naturally inviting thing. It crosses barriers and fosters pride and joy.”

Future #videos will feature others in the small local #Ethiopian #Jewish community, like Aviva Bayon of Walnut Creek, who last year collaborated with Chabad of Contra Costa to hold a #Sigd celebration, a holiday unique to Ethiopian #Jews."

hopes to generate compassion with his #paintings: “I don’t think most people do wrong or evil things because of a deficiency of information, it’s a deficiency of experience and they don’t know what it means to be in the other position. Painting has the ability to show experience without verbal communication. That’s what I’m trying to do.”

Indigenous #Ethiopian #ambassadors were usually religious officials of high rank or trusted members of the imperial household, perhaps because the Ethiopians thought that European Christian powers could best be approached by men of religion.

Indigenous #Congolese ambassadors, on the other hand, were normally relatives of the king and could be cast in a much more ‘noble’ or princely light. As high-ranking royal relatives and courtiers, they donned expensive European clothes given to them by the Portuguese monarchs or popes on arrival at court.

One other outstanding difference is noticeable between #ambassadors from these two countries, for some Congolese ambassadors brought their wives, who represented yet another facet of #Africa – African womanhood. (5/6)
