In Sidamo Tera, Mercato, donkeys live up to their reputation as tireless carriers. Unbothered by the heavy loads strapped tightly to their backs, they pause to feed on spilled seeds scattered across the ground as they have stacked boxes of edible oil and other household goods ready to be delivered to the next customer. Give the donkey what others discard, and it carries the city’s heaviest burdens with quiet ease.
