In February 1977, Lieutenant Colonel Mengistu Haier Maryam (MENGISTU HAILE MARIAM) launched a military coup and served as Chairman and head of State of the interim military Administrative Council. In 1979, the Ethiopian Labor people's Party Organizing Committee, mainly composed of soldiers, was established to implement an one-party system. In 1984, the Ethiopian Workers' Party was formed according to the Soviet Communist Party model. In September 1987, Mengistu announced the dissolution of the "interim military Administrative Council", the end of military rule, the establishment of the "people's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia" and the establishment of a new parliament, with Mengistu as president and head of government.

In March 1988, the rebel "Eritrean people's Liberation Front" (EPLF) and the "Tigre people's Liberation Front" (TPLF) launched an attack on government forces, and a large-scale civil war broke out. In 1989, the Eritrean people's Liberation Front occupied most of Eritrea. On 28 May 1991, EGF troops, mainly the Tigre people's Liberation Front, entered Addis Ababa and the Mengistu regime disintegrated in December 1994 and formulated the Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. According to the Constitution, Ethiopia will implement a federal system and a parliamentary cabinet system after the general election for a term of five years. After the national election in May 1995, the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia was established on August 22, and Meles became prime minister in her capacity as chairman of the majority party of the people's House of Representatives. On May 14, 2000, Ethiopia held a national election, and EGF defeated other opposition parties by an absolute majority to stay in power. In October, the new federal parliament and government were established, and the speakers of both houses and Prime Minister Meles were re-elected, and the original cabinet also remained in office with the approval of the parliament. In October 2001, May adjusted the government structure and reshuffled the cabinet, adding the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture and the Ministry of Taxation, and set up a new cabinet composed of 18 ministers.

Yega Xuefei's coffee trees were planted by monks in Europe and later transferred to farmers or cooperatives. Yega Xuefei is actually constructed by the surrounding coffee communities or cooperatives, including: Hafusha, Hama, Biloya.

These mountain villages are foggy, like spring all year round, with a gentle breeze in summer, cool but not hot, rain but not damp, and no cold damage in winter, giving birth to a unique regional flavor of citrus and flowers. Coffee trees are mostly planted in farmers' own backyards or mixed with other crops in the fields. Yejasuefei is a small town with an elevation of 700-21000 meters, which is synonymous with Ethiopian boutique coffee. It has been a wetland since ancient times. The ancient saying "Yirga" means "settle down" and "Cheffe" means "wetland". The mode of production and flavor of coffee here are so outstanding that Ethiopian coffee farmers compete to be proud of the flavor of their own coffee. To become the most famous coffee producing area in Africa, Ethiopia's Yirgacheffe coffee is delicate, delicate and sweet. As the hometown of coffee, thousands of years of planting history and processing tradition in Ethiopia have created high-quality washed Arabica beans. Light baking has unique sweet aromas of lemon, flowers and honey, soft acidity and citrus flavors, fresh and bright on the palate. Without milk or sugar, let the rich texture and unique soft scent of flowers brush through your taste buds, leaving an endless aftertaste, followed by the crushing of coffee beans. The hostess withdrew the iron plate to the outside of the stove, cooled slightly, poured the roasted coffee beans into an iron mortar about 30 centimeters high, similar to our processed traditional Chinese medicine, and hammered the beans into coffee powder with an iron pestle. This action is not as simple as it seems. One hand should be held on the iron mortar below, and the other hand should be raised high, because only by holding it high can one be able to do so. To force the iron pestle accurately into the small mouth of the iron mortar, inexperienced people will only hit their own hands. I have also asked curiously, why not grind coffee in an iron mill or a coffee machine? The host told me that if grinding with a machine, the high-speed friction between coffee beans and metal brings a lot of impurities on the iron, which will affect the pure flavor of the coffee after processing.

After the coffee powder is made, the hostess carries the clay plate containing the coffee powder and sends it to the guests attending the ceremony in turn, so that everyone can smell the incense. Next, pour the Chung-ho coffee powder into a clay high-necked coffee pot, add water and boil it on a charcoal stove. on the high neck of the coffee pot, there is a special cork shaped like a wooden top played by children, but a bit like a shoddy one. The function of cork is to keep warm, because the local elevation is more than 2500 meters, the boiling temperature of coffee liquid is low, and the kettle is open, which is not conducive to keeping the temperature; second, it is boiling coffee.
