Transportation

Horse carts and donkey carts were ubiquitous.


In all the towns except Addis Ababa, little 3-wheeled taxis were everywhere. These were made in India and imported.

On the road from Addis Ababa to Awash (and on to Dire Dawa and Djibouti, I am sure) there were big trucks, many of them the really heavy duty 22-wheelers like these. I suspect these trucks are useful for transporting freight and material that might otherwise be carried by train. I wonder when the train will begin running again.
