Not Just a Cup, but a Just Cup: Ugandan Farmers Cross Religious Divides
One evening at an Emmanuel Congregation dinner, URI Global
Trustee, Rita Semel, was surprised to hear Rabbi Larry Kushner speaking
about something she had heard before—a group of Ugandan coffee farmers
called the Mirembe Kawomera (mir´em bay cow o mare´a). The name of the
group means “delicious peace” in the Ugandan tongue. As a cooperative
of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian coffee farmers, they are a shining
example of what URI is working towards in this world.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Greetings of peace and blessing for all of you
from Africa. Here is a good news about the peace work of Interfaith PeaceBuilding Initiative (IPI), a URI CC in
Ethiopia. This is one good example what URI CCs are doing in different part of
the world.
The Ethiopian government granted full pardon to Coalition for
Unity and Democracy (CUD) leaders (opposition political party leaders) and
members with the tireless effort of Ethiopian Elders who have exerted their utmost effort to resolve the conflict at the verge of the Ethiopian millennium.
CUD leaders and members were imprisoned in connection with the chaos occurred in
the wake of the 2005 National Election convicted of getting rid of the
constitutionally established government by force and were sentenced to life
imprisonment.
The IPI CC played major role in the reconciliation process from the start along with the
rest, represented by Mussie Hailu who serves in the coalition of Elders of
Ethiopia.
