Africa-Press-Ethiopia<\/p>\n

When\u00a0conflict<\/a>\u00a0broke out in Yemen in 2014, Karim Gamal and his family were, like countless of others, forced to flee their homes.<\/p>\n

Six years later, millions of Yemenis remain internally displaced, and thousands of others have left the country altogether, fleeing to the Gulf, Europe, or, in Gamal\u2019s case,\u00a0Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all have the love of Ethiopia,\u201d said Gamal, who is half Ethiopian, and half Yemeni.<\/p>\n

He was living in Yemen when the conflict broke out. His life story is a testament to the shared history between the two countries.<\/p>\n

Today, he works behind the counter at Yemen Kings, a restaurant in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, which his father and uncle opened in 2019.<\/p>\n

During the day, dozens of guests of all backgrounds crowd around long tables to share traditional Yemeni dishes like fahsa, a stew made out of beef or lamb.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a food that you can find in all Yemen houses,\u201d Gamal said. \u201cThey burn it in fire at a high temperature\u201d in pots called hareda.<\/p>\n

By 9 p.m., most customers at Yemen Kings have gone home, but grilled meat still sizzles on the grill for late-night sandwiches paired with kerkede, a sweet Yemeni drink.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s made of roses, red roses that have been dried,\u201d Gamal explained. \u201cAfter it\u2019s dried, they sink it in water.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since its opening, Yemen Kings has become a popular destination for Ethiopians as well as Arab visitors.<\/p>\n

But for Yemeni residents in Addis Ababa, especially those who have fled the conflict, the restaurant holds a particularly special meaning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
