  3. “They decided to focus their research in #Ethiopia, Africa’s largest coffee producer. The scientists from Kew, joined by their #Ethiopian counterparts, spent years driving more than 30,000 miles across the country, often on roads so remote they did not appear on the government’s own maps. They visited as many coffee farms as possible, recording data about the #climate in each area and using it to build models to predict what would happen as temperatures rose. The results shocked them. By the end of the century, the models suggested, large parts of Ethiopia would become unsuitable for growing coffee.”

  5. "#PENAmerica’s president has resigned after the #freespeech group released a report detailing how #Israeli and #Jewish #writers have faced “rising isolation and exclusion” in the aftermath of 2023’s #Oct7 attacks in #Israel and the subsequent war in #Gaza.

    The #Ethiopian #novelist #DinawMengestu had held the organization’s leadership position since December 2025. He told The #NewYorkTimes that Pen America’s report, which examines the impacts of cultural boycotts, unfairly maligns the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement, an attempt to economically isolate Israel.

    The July 9 report, titled “A Silent Moratorium,” was the work of three #authors. They include PEN America’s editorial director #LisaTolin, a veteran of #NBCNews and the #AssociatedPress, as well as its chief communications officer #GeraldineBaum, a longtime former staff #writer for #TheLosAngelesTimes who earned a #Pulitzer Prize for Public Service early in her career at #Newsday."

  6. #Chickpea and #Kale #Wat from Vegan Without Borders

    by Robin Robertson on September 30, 2014

    "I chose to share Chickpea and Kale Wat [recipe] for a number of reasons. The recipe for this #Ethiopian stew is super quick and easy and a great way to get a lot of flavor out of your basic '#BeansAndGreens.' The recipe is also versatile, in that you can swap out different beans or legumes for the chickpeas, or use other vegetables to replace the kale. The recipe is gluten-free, soy-free, and low in oil (you can make it 'no oil' if you water-saute the veggies).

    Chickpea and Kale Wat

    Serve the wat with #injera or on a bed of cooked rice or couscous. This is a spicy dish, so I’ve made the cayenne optional if you prefer less heat. You can also use less red pepper flakes, if you wish. This recipe is from Vegan Without Borders by Robin Robertson.

    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 large sweet onion, finely chopped
    2 carrots, chopped
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon grated ginger
    2 teaspoons garam masala
    1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    1 teaspoon dried thyme
    1 teaspoon natural sugar
    1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
    2 tablespoons tomato paste
    1 1/2 cups water
    4 cups chopped kale (tough stems removed)
    3 cups cooked chickpeas, or 2 (15-ounce) cans, drained and rinsed

    Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and carrots. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger, then add the garam masala, paprika, thyme, sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne, if using. Stir in the tomato paste and 1/2 cup of the water. Add the kale and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes to wilt the kale. Add the chickpeas and the remaining 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Decrease the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are tender and the flavor is developed, about 20 minutes, adding a little more water, if needed, so the stew doesn’t dry out or burn.

    Serves 4."

  8. A vibrant #art scene in #Uganda mirrors #African #boom as more #collectors show interest
    #KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Lilian Nabulime hasn’t forgotten the time in the 1990s when the Ugandan capital had just one commercial #art #gallery, a small space that emerging #artists struggled to get into.

    Now, there are at least six in Kampala, including one whose #curator recently exhibited the sculptor’s contrarian work.

    Nabulime’s show, which has attracted audiences for its conspiratorial take on the peculiarities of urban “gossip,” might never have happened if she hadn’t approached Xenson Art Space and asked for the opportunity to exhibit her work. Her work includes terracotta works topped with the deformed facial features of gossip bearers.

    “Nobody ever comes to me and says, ’Oh, can we show your work?” she said, sitting amid her sculptures. “For me, I just decided and said, ‘Let me go and exhibit my work.’ I asked for the exhibition, and they gave me the space.”

    Her solo show, which will last until Dec. 20, exemplifies an expanding #artistic landscape that allows more room for local artists who once struggled for space. Nabulime, who teaches #sculpture at a prestigious art school in Kampala, is among a growing list of artists whose body of work contributes to a feeling among curators of an exciting moment for #Ugandan art.

    Their sense of cheer mirrors a similar trend across #Africa that’s fueled not just by an explosion of compelling new work but also by the growing ability of curators from the continent to reach new collectors at a time of rising global interest in modern African art.

    There are fresh signs of this momentum. The #Ivorian #painter #Aboudia was the world’s bestselling artist in 2022, selling two more artworks than the popular #Damien #Hirst , according to the #Hiscox Artist Top 100 survey. And in November, an artwork by the #Ethiopian - #born artist Julie #Mehretu fetched $10.7 million at auction, a new record for an African artist.

    In addition to the annual Art Auction East Africa in #Kenya — during which dead and living artists are valued if not rediscovered — the most ambitious curators from Africa are accredited to attend events such as the influential Art #Basel.

    “Let us have more curators so that they can show other people’s work,” Nabulime said, speaking of the growing number of #gallerists in Kampala. “In Uganda, if we are to have more work on the international market, we have to have more curators who are well connected.”
