Camel meat consumption has traditionally been uncommon across most of Ethiopia. In mainstream Ethiopian tradition—particularly within the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church—camel meat is considered unclean, following Old Testament dietary laws (Leviticus 11:4 / Deuteronomy 14:7, which prohibit eating camels because they chew the cud but do not have divided hooves). Conversely, in Islam, camel meat is strictly Halal (permissible), as supported by Islamic dietary jurisprudence and references to camels in scriptures such as Surah An-Nahl (16:5-8) and Surah Al-Hajj (22:36). As a result, much of the general Ethiopian public historically perceived camel meat as off-limits. ​In recent years, however, cultural exchanges and strong religious ties with the Arab world have transformed local culinary trends. Along the major transit corridor from Kombolcha to Shewa Robit—as well as lowland regions of North Wollo, Afar, Somali, and parts of Oromia—camel meat is booming in popularity among Muslim communities and curious food enthusiasts alike. Specialized camel butcher shops (Lkwanda) are popping up across major towns along the highway. ​In this video, I visit Harbu and Kemise to sit down with local livestock suppliers and butchers who distribute camels for slaughter, exploring how this traditional meat is capturing a growing market. ​If you enjoyed this content, please Subscribe to the channel, Like and Share this video, and drop your thoughts in the Comments section below! ​#Kombolcha #Kemise #Harbu #ShewaRobit #Wollo #NorthWollo #Afar #Oromia #EastAfrica Travel
