Is this tiny restaurant in Perth's inner-north home to the city's best-value vegan meal deal?
Make no mistake, this is a restaurant run by its community, for its community. The room features artefacts adorned with Amharic script and posters of Eritrean sports stars Biniam Girmay and Alexander Isak.
The combination of an Ethio-jazz soundtrack and spirited African language conversations gives the space a casual, loungeroom-style energy. Use the call bell at the counter to get the attention of a (otherwise obliging) staff member if you have to. You might be new to these parts, but you're eager to learn about the deep, rich history of Eritrean and Ethiopian food.

Is this tiny restaurant in Perth's inner-north home to the city's best-value vegan meal deal?
Rather than dessert, Eritrean and Ethiopian meals conclude with thick coffee that's been pan-roasted in-house and, if you like, sharpened with ground ginger. An elegant woven mesob basket filled with warm popcorn is a thoughtful touch; the wispy smoke emitted by a burning square of bakhoor incense is a show of hospitality borrowed from the traditional coffee ceremony. Based on a handful of outings to Adulis, the promise of a hot drink that tastes like home is reason enough for some within Perth's (East) African diaspora to set course for Yokine.

Harry retraces Diana's footsteps through mine field
Prince Harry has followed in his mother's footsteps by wearing a flak jacket and walking down a path in an active land mine field in Angola to raise awareness for a charity's work clearing explosives from old war zones. The Duke of Sussex is in the southern African country with the Halo Trust organisation, the same group Princess Diana worked with when she went to Angola in January 1997, seven months before she was killed in a car crash in Paris. Diana's advocacy and the images of her walking through a minefield helped mobilise support for a land mine ban treaty that was ratified later that year. Harry walked through a land mine field near a village in Cuito Cuanavale in southern Angola on Wednesday, according to Halo Trust. It's not the first time he has retraced his mother's steps after travelling to Angola for a similar awareness campaign in 2019. The land mines across Angola were left behind from its 27-year civil war from 1975 to 2002. The Halo Trust says at least 60,000 people have been killed or injured by land mines since 2008. It says it has located and destroyed over 120,000 land mines and 100,000 other explosive devices in Angola since it started work in the country in 1994, but 1000 minefields still need to be cleared.
