Musa Abulelessa and his two brothers, Mustefa and Gugu, all own small farms in the Gomma region of Agaro—with Musa
and Mustefa operating two farms together outside of Beshasha called Koye and Chanko. Before the undergrowth was
cleared for coffee, Musa and Mustefa’s jungle parcel at 2100 meters elevation was a hideout for their father, Abalulessa, a
guerilla fighting the oppressive military government of the time called The Derg. Failing to capture him and having lost
soldiers in their attempts, the government offered the local community a bounty for Abalulessa’s capture. With his health
deteriorating and near death, Abalulessa turned to an old friend and, as thanks for nursing him through his final months,
told him to tell the government he had killed him, thus benefiting from the bounty. Abalulessa died in 1977—when Musa
was just two years old—and as part of a subsequent amnesty and reconciliation program, the government gave land to
the brothers and their mother, which Abulelessa’s sons now farm.

his farm to 43.8 hectares,
