Employees of AfricaJuice, a Dutch-owned juice company in Ethiopia, toss fruit damaged by protesters two weeks earlier on Oct. 4. Ethiopia is facing its most significant unrest in a decade from the majority Oromo and Amhara ethnic groups, which feel marginalized by the minority-led government. The assailants, estimated by AfricaJuice farm managers to number in the thousands, descended on the factory in the Upper Awash Valley, about 90 miles southeast of Addis Ababa, on Oct. 4. A largely agricultural economy, Ethiopia has been luring foreign investors for the past decade to set up light industries, such as textile companies, and agribusiness ventures, such as flower farms. President Mulatu Teshome has also toured devastated factories and promised investors that the government will help them recoup their losses.
