I mentioned in a previous post that we saw people lined up at a Shell station on foot. The fuel stations all have a kerosene pump that people purchase fuel for cooking. They walk to the station carrying their cans. This line is very short. The line we saw the other day had over 100 people in it. The other photo is across the street from Shell. It is quite common to see goats, donkeys and other livestock walking by the road and in the road. There are numerous Shell stations here in Addis Ababa, many have an armed guard standing by the kerosene pump.
