Great news, Starbucks have backed down and signed an agreement with Ethiopia.

You, and more than 96,000 other people across the globe kept up the pressure - through this Take Action Against Starbucks MySpace plus emails, faxes, phone calls, postcards, and in-store visits.

Well the good news is that Starbucks and Ethiopia have finally signed a licensing agreement securing Ethiopia's ownership over its speciality coffee names Sidamo, Harar and Yirgacheffe. This agreement is worth millions of dollars per year to Ethiopian farmers.

Well done and thank. 

The official press release announcing the agreement is at http://www.csrwire.com/News/8962.html

yes, a sweet victory indeed.
and i'm hoping that this wont stop the cause and the purpose this space is set up in the first place.

still we must observe that none of the agreement is not breach upon.



cheers and keep on rocking in the not so called free world....
