The first-grade quality, Giza, is short in length and more succulent, while the second-class Kangeta is long and drier.
Giza is sold more in Kenya as it is decays quickly, while Kangeta is exported to Somalia and the UK.
Somalia's anarchy

Prolonged use of khat has been linked to increased violence and mental illness. The general anarchy in neighbouring Somalia is often attributed, in part, to khat's widespread popularity there.

All somalis do not chew qat, infackt the people who chew qat are in the north of the country. Chewing qat is not that popular in Mogadishu, to be honest a few people chew qat in Mogadishu, but if you go to the north of the country you will see many people do chewing qat, and the North is peaceful campared to Mogadishu.

Wen AkueeeeeIiiiiiii! Whazzup wit ya? Long tyme no c n talk. To get back to the topic, it is not all Somalians chew Mira, becoz many of them are my friends and they don't like to chew Mira either.

To blow the whistle louder, chewing Qat have nothing to do with their brutle Vs each other. It is juz that they didn't find a formula 4living juz like ours in Sudan.

Otherwise, have a nice time bruda!

Jah blesses!
