This is "the Chinese Road" (as it was described to me)apparently the Chinese are building a very big highway which goes from Addis to ??? . Sorry I never asked. I don't even know if it is the Chinese governement or a private Chinese company. OK I am a useless traveler!
I generally don't like taking pictures of people or places to show the rest of the world how poor some people are so I have no pictures of the huge areas with the shacks I was referring too but here is a sense of what it may be like. Remember this is the good looking areas, if you turn that corner into the gravel road you see in the second picture it goes for a long way with houses getting quite small and quite poor.
