According to tradition, Emir Nur ibn Mujahid went on a 12 year long campaign deep into Ethiopia until when he reached the western regions, he said "Kaffa!" which means "Enough!". The land he was in at the time became known as Kaffa.
If we got the source for that then we are set also is Kaffa a somali word???

One of the Saints who was introducing coffee had close relations with Sultan sa’adin

Coffee was cultivated and planted by Somali agro tribes surrounding Harar. I remember reading a few passages on the area during the late 1800s that mentioned it a while back, can't find it now though. It continues to this day.

I don't mind Yemenis claiming it, they are part of the coffee story and opened up a port city to streamlined it to the rest of the world. So they are connected to it.

But Ethiopians can go suck it, they rejected our beverage out of pure animosity for Muslims but now they are trying to pass of a fake story about a goat getting frisky from it.

I recalled someone here once saying Ethiopia's modern coffee industry was started by a Somali businessman

That someone is most likely me. I shared a bit about it in another thread a couple of months back
That's pretty cool. It is in a away continuation of tradition.

Funfact: One of the first coffee companies in Africa and the first in Ethiopia was established by a Somali businessman from Galbeed named Mohammed Abdullah Ogsadey. It was based in the greater Harar region. MAO Harar Horse. Considered a Coffee pioneer in Africa.

Sorry but this Is false genetic evidence proves coffee originated in Ethiopia but we sold lt and probably made it into a drink first

If you are referring to this study
Btw Coffee was domesticated in Eastern Ethiopia where Somalis predominately live which a new scientific study actually reveals. So ignore the Kaffa nonsense.

This is basically an admission that the crop/drink began with us which is in line with the earliest primary sources(Bar'Sa'adin) and archeology in Northern Somalia(Amud)

then it changes nothing. Eastern Ethiopia is Somali territory. Ethiopians claim coffee came from Kaffa which is southwest Ethiopia.
