Most of the new campsites have been built on and around the hillsides of a former wildlife reserve and face catastrophe in the cyclone and monsoon season now beginning. (In May 2017, Cyclone Mora destroyed 20,000 shelters as well as damaging wells, toilets and roads). Those shelters built in the valleys face the threat of flooding, while those higher up, carved into hills stripped of the vegetation that formerly held them together, are at risk of landslide. Water supplies face inundation or destruction, and people could be cut off from food, water and services (Doherty 2018). https://www.golby.org/place-names daily 0.75 2021-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16745b32c5c170bce21f07/1607664429592-QTBTMP41KPYWBOCL8A9R/P1000098.jpg Place Names Babel in the desert https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16745b32c5c170bce21f07/1612927740041-C3OCLR2Q8H9T8YUQRD1S/fullsizeoutput_3f63.jpeg Place Names https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16745b32c5c170bce21f07/1607664001950-SYPC8UL4JLXMFR2SMMMT/P1040281.jpg Place Names Yaouk near Adaminaby https://www.golby.org/urbanisation-in-ethiopia daily 0.75 2021-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16745b32c5c170bce21f07/1613109973444-ACQNS9PKA29ENC6WX42K/fullsizeoutput_3f6e.jpeg Urbanisation in Ethiopia Paving the town square in Axum, 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16745b32c5c170bce21f07/1613110065399-2ZVX69OP56O4CILOGXBF/fullsizeoutput_3f6d.jpeg Urbanisation in Ethiopia Completed paving in 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16745b32c5c170bce21f07/1613116297233-F76PAMNDIKO7KU1WBZM4/fullsizeoutput_3f6f.jpeg Urbanisation in Ethiopia ‘Chaat’ millionaire’s house in the chaat market. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16745b32c5c170bce21f07/1599455013822-LPJ7OBDGGT56HB5V5ZKI/P1010452.JPG Urbanisation in Ethiopia Village Housing and Transport https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16745b32c5c170bce21f07/1613116889516-11LJDD05U11XYWJAQDQO/fullsizeoutput_3464.jpeg Urbanisation in Ethiopia New condominiums in Addis Ababa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16745b32c5c170bce21f07/1613110289514-UJUH80PQLX3JNCWEOASB/fullsizeoutput_3f6c.jpeg Urbanisation in Ethiopia New housing outside Lalibela https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16745b32c5c170bce21f07/1613117021948-YJJSKHXN9HK3KMDOCC7S/fullsizeoutput_3f70.jpeg Urbanisation in Ethiopia Construction in Addis Ababa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16745b32c5c170bce21f07/1613115500308-3UDDLXQE1PG56GYVGQ51/DSCN0853.JPG Urbanisation in Ethiopia Harar -
