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 readjusted government institutions 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 in Ethiopia, mainly the mountain plateau, the main part of the Ethiopian plateau, the central and western part of the plateau, accounting for 2x3 of the whole territory, the East African Rift Valley runs through the whole territory, with an average elevation of nearly 3000 meters, known as the "roof of Africa". The terrain around the plateau is gradually declining. The Darol depression in the north fell to 113 meters below sea level, the lowest point in the country. The coast of the Red Sea is a narrow banded plain. Deserts and semi-deserts in the north, south and north-east account for about 25% of the country's area. At 4623 meters above sea level, Dashan Peak in the Ximen Mountains is the highest peak in Ethiopia.

The coffee producing areas of Ethiopia are Sidamo, Harald and Sidamo, Harrar and Yirgacheffe. Sidamo and Harrar are provinces and divisions, Sidamo is located in the south of Ethiopia bordering Kenya, and Harrar is bordering Somalia in the east of Ethiopia. Although Yirgacheffe is a community in the Sidamo region, its coffee is considered to be the best in Ethiopia because of soil composition and water content.

In the West, Ethiopian coffee is generally labeled and (Yirgacheffee, Sidamo and Harrar) sold on the market.

In the field of boutique coffee, there are also five other small places of coffee, namely Lim, Gemma, Le Campdi, Becca and Limmu, Djimmah, Lekempti, Bebeka and Wolega. The most common is Essesidamo or Harald coffee (Either Sidamo or Harrar coffee).

Harald Coffee (HarrarCoffee) comes from the eastern highlands of Ethiopia, with medium bean size, green yellow, medium acidity, full alcohol thickness and typical mocha flavor (mochaflavor). It is one of the most famous coffee in the world. Ethiopia's Yirgacheffe Coffee is petite, but it is gentle, 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. No milk or sugar, let the rich texture and unique soft flower scent brush your taste buds, leaving an endless aftertaste.

Yega Xuefei is a small town, 700-21000 meters above sea level, 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 is so outstanding that Ethiopian coffee farmers compete to be proud of the flavor of their coffee, making it the most famous coffee producing area in Africa.

At first, Yejassefi's coffee trees were planted by European monks, and later by 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' backyards or mixed with other crops in the field.
