Addis Ababa is nine degrees north of the equator, a city of brutal sun and cold nights chilled by mountain air, ringed by hilltops, and fed by springs that tumble into polluted creeks swarmed by buzzards and hawks. It is a city of old palaces hidden by soaring gates and of dirt alleys that vanish into neighborhoods of mud and scrap metal. It is a city that smells of sweat and dung and diesel; a city in which herdsmen chase goats alongside traffic and children sell shoeshines and songs for pennies; a city of beauty as well as of misery, clinging to hope against all odds.
