[edit] Ethiopian Commercial Revolution

Hoax. Yes, Ethiopia did enjoy significant economic growth between 1950 to 1970; however Google returns no hits for this phrase independent of Wikipedia; this growth was fuelled by exports of coffee, not "kimavi cha kuku" (which appears to be Swahili for Ageratum conyzoides, a wild flower); I can find no explanation for "kashi-kawu" (Google provides no hits independent of Wikipedia). Another contribution from an anon editor, whose IP resolves to another Ameritech DSL router. Delete. llywrch 20:47, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
