Harar_Khat 19.jpg
The selling of khat (qat, miraa, kwatt) at the old city of Harar, Ethiopia. Trade continues 24/7 as the wealth of the region is built on these leaves. In #Ethiopia places outside the home where people can come to buy and chew khat are called Makamiya Betoch. This is where folks gather in social groups, along with bundles of khat and settle in for an afternoon of chatter, contemplation and watching soccer on TV. Recently, Khat has even been blamed for funding #errorism. Whatever your opinion is of Khat the drug, the fact is this is a multi-million dollar industry and a cash crop that keeps on giving for many peasants who grow it in the Horn of Africa,
