A game of cats and mice takes place between street vendors and law enforcers nearly everywhere in Addis Abeba. The vendors here are carrying their merchandise in sacks after packing them in a hurry to run from uniformed informers in this Megenagna area. They stand in the middle of the road waiting for the enforcers to pass. The City Administration’s Trade Bureau has attempted to formalise street vendors, an effort complicated by cheap products with high demand.
