What is the Heritage Foundation?
Another company is online Asian grocery retailer Weee!, valued at $4.1bn, according to NFAP, and founded by Larry Liu, who came to the US to earn a master’s degree in business administration from the University of California, Davis, after completing his undergraduate degree in China.Ethiopia is thought to host about one-fifth of the world’s population of donkeys.
Ethiopia is believed to host the world’s largest population of donkeys – one in five of the global total, according to the United Nations.The humble donkey is a cornerstone of the national economy, and the Donkey Sanctuary – a free clinic run by a British charity – is crucial in Addis Ababa. Set near Merkato, the city’s sprawling open-air market, it provides care for animals that are often indispensable to their owners’ livelihoods.Several dozen donkeys stand in enclosures at the clinic – some agitatedly kicking their legs, others hungrily tucking into their food. Caregivers and veterinarians move from animal to animal, treating a range of ailments including injuries, colic and eye conditions.
Among them is Guluma Bayi, 38, who had walked more than an hour and a half, leading his two donkeys to the clinic.“It has been three weeks since my donkeys became sick,” said Guluma. “One has a leg problem and the other has a stomach issue.”
Like many, Guluma depends on his donkeys for his livelihood, using them to transport jerrycans of water for sale in his community.
“After they became ill, I couldn’t buy bread for my children,” he said. “I begged a guy to bring me here.”Nagaland’s growing coffee story also coincides with an overall increase in India’s exports of coffee beans.
In 2024, India’s coffee exports surpassed $1bn for the first time, with production doubling compared with 2020-21. While more than 70 percent of India’s coffee comes from the southern state of Karnataka, the Coffee Board has been trying to expand cultivation in the Northeast.Building a coffee culture in Nagaland is no easy feat, given that decades of unrest left the state in want of infrastructure and almost completely reliant on federal funding. Growing up in the 1990s, when military operations against alleged armed groups were frequent and security forces would often barge into homes, day or night, Humtsoe wanted nothing to do with India.
At one point, he stopped speaking Nagamese – a bridge dialect among the state’s 16 tribes and a creole version of the Indian language, Assamese. But he grew disillusioned with therooted in separatism that armed groups were seeking. And the irony of the state’s dependence on funds from New Delhi hit the now 39-year-old.
