President Donald Trump's Administration has offered a gift to finance ministers from developing countries. By proposing a 20 billion dollar currency swap line for Argentina, it has implicitly aligned itself with those arguing for a new issuance of special drawing rights (SDRs), the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) reserve asset. Of course, many ministers, busy discussing their tight fiscal frameworks with the IMF, may have missed this. Fortunately, the gift is still on the table. The IMF a...

Forget flashy billboards and painted signs. In Mekelle, a single yellow jerrycan resting on a dusty curb does the job just fine. It's the new language of the street—simple, unmistakable, and profitable. The written note tells motorists that petrol is available, but not at the government rate. At 200 Br a litre, the markup is steep, yet demand remains constant. Across Ethiopia's regional cities,...

On a sun-dappled stretch of Swaziland St., near St. Paul Hospital, north of Addis Abeba, where the clang of spanners competes with the chorus of children playing, a quiet threat brews inside open garages. Beneath the hood of a battered sedan, Waqjira Ejeta, a 40-year-old mechanic, father, and unwitting victim, melted down lead from broken batteries without gloves or a mask. He believes what many in Ethiopia's informal recycling sector do: “It's just metal. It can't harm us.” But it can...

Multitasking at its finest unfolds on the streets of Adey Abeba, where a man navigates his way in a sleek, electric-wired wheelchair.

As he glides past pedestrians, his chair displays an array of goods, offering snacks, plastic bags, and small essentials to those on the move. Morning commuters stop briefly, intr...

A donkey “parking lot” along Dejazmach Mekonin Demisaw Street in Sebategna, Mercato, hosts a patient line of beasts ready for their next load. Each animal seems to carry more than goods, they bear memories of an era when hooves, not wheels, ruled the streets. Passersby rush past in the busy market, half-smiling, half-reflecting, as the scene whispers stories of grit, patience, and the slow rhy...
A once newly structured railway fence leans over to the side to let passersby have a way to cross the street rather than walking to a Zebra crossing, hinting at urban ingenuity, or stubborn shortcuts, where everyday life finds its own paths, no matter how crooked. In its sagging frame, the fence tells a story of compromise between order and habit, of city planning meeting human impatience. It is a...

A man walks by a destroyed tank near Arbit, Ethiopia (Photo by J. Countess/Getty Images) Not long after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, when I found it difficult to talk about much else, I attended an international conference. There I got into conversation with a woman who worked for one of the large charities providing relief to war zones in Africa. Politely but firmly she complained that the consequence of the fixation with Ukraine was that Africa’s many, ongoing, disastrous wars were once again being ignored. She particularly had in mind Ethiopia’s war in its Tigray province.
