Who Invented Coffee On Twitter

[Burqad]

She’s a mentally colonized person. She was arguing a while ago that the majority of people in the Somali region speak Amh*ric. Dhabadhilif and a coon

 

[Burqad]

Also Somalis eat coffee traditionally.

 

[mohammdov]

It is from Ethiopia. Somalis do not grow coffee. It was started by the Ethiopians and Yemenis who made it global The Somalis in Zeila and Berbera were just intermediaries .
The word coffee entered the English language in 1582 via the Dutch koffie, borrowed from the Ottoman Turkish kahve (قهوه), borrowed in turn from the Arabic qahwah (قَهْوَة)

 

[Awdalite]

She is absolutely right. Coffee as we know today began in Ethiopia. What most fail to realise is that Ethiopia isn't synonymous with Habesha. It was Ethiopian Cushitic groups that first discovered coffee. The fact that people are arguing against Ethiopia for pseudo nationalistic reasons coupled with the inability to understand what is meant by 'Ethiopian' shows you all you need to know. Oh and by the way no, coffee was not discovered by Somalis. The Somali hoteps need to give it a rest.

You three are incredible scholars, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that we appreciate the wealth of information that you guys consistently provide

 

[tyrannicalmanager]

notice how everything that happens within the modern Ethiopian borders is atributed to mainstream Etio culture, but the opposite when it comes to Somalis.

 

[Keo]

Any time they say something originates in Ethiopia there is a strong chance it actually originated in Somalia for obvious reasons.

You’re gonna have to give some information to counter all the information that been dropped in this thread. Don’t just believe something because its the common narrative.

calling someone a hotep and insecure nationalist is a good enough counterargument.

None of the sources provided here show anything of the claims being made. In fact the only viable source provides mentions southern Ethiopia. It's an own goal to use that source.

Makes sense why you call yourself a pseudo intellectual.

So what Southern Ethiopia is just a region doesn’t say anything about the population living there. Somalis had lived in Eastern Ethiopia for centuries; does any historical achievements done by somalis(prior to the nation state of Ethiopia) in that region now be classified as a Ethiopian history or Somali history.

Thanks, man. I have to emphasize I am merely a guy who posts things among others.

What do you think about the source that a man from zeila was the first one ?

 

[Awdalite]

What do you think about the source that a man from zeila was the first one ?

Where does it state in your source that it was a man from Zeila who founded it? Did you even read your own source?

 

[HabarSteven12]

Coffee originated in Ethiopia. The first person to discover the drink was an Ethiopian goat herder named kaldi. There is no credible evidence to suggest Somalis were the first people to discover or drink coffee. That claim is ludicrous.

 

[Three Moons]

I love how when its a Somali claim on a foreign city, a world commodity, or a historical figure active on a different continent, etc (all cases with strong undeniable ties to the Somali peninsula) suddenly things like objectivity, historic native groups, modern borders, disbelief, ridicule, etc all come into play and are deployed as weak counter arguments, but when it comes to Somali history, cities, figures, all of that goes out the window.

They are exaggerating and making up stories. Coffee originated in Ethiopia. There is no credible evidence to suggest Somalis were the first people to discover or drink coffee. It was discovered in Ethiopia. It was first extracted either in Yemen or Ethiopia. But most sources allude to coffee first being extracted in Ethiopia.

 

[Somali_patriotic]

It is from Ethiopia. Somalis do not grow coffee.

15th century somali sites had coffee beans

Also ibn hajar mentioned coffe growing from a tree in zaylac

The Somalis in Zeila and Berbera were just intermediaries

They were the first to consume it
First ever mention of coffee consuming was in zaylac

Also coffee grows across the whole coffee belt

This is the very same sheikh i've mentioned in another post.


It's said that he travelled from northern eritrea all the way down to zaylac where he meet sa'ad a-din. He then travelled to the interior in the lands of adal. All this is said to have been writing down on a manuscript in yemen that hasn't been digitalized yet. I tried to find it cause i thought it may contain the oldest mention of sheikh samaroon who fought alongside sa'ad a-din.

I think coffee was introduced to yemen multiple times with oldest mention being this sheikh. The story of khaldi which is in reality a folk story is a mistranslation of the original story. Khaldi which comes from khalid an arabic name is muslim and the so called priest were two sufi sheikhs that is also credited with introduction of coffee to yemen and priest being the european translation of sheikh.
