ሰባተኛ -መርካቶ ...ቀጣይ ፈራሽ ሰፈር...!? | Merkato-Sebategna, ADDIS ABABA 🇪🇹 2026 |

Описание: Welcome to the heart of Addis Ababa! In this video, we’re diving into the rhythmic chaos and undeniable soul of Merkato and the historic Sebategna Sefer.

As the largest open-air market in Africa, Merkato is much more than a place of trade; it is a living, breathing city within a city. We’ll navigate through its famous "terras"—from the aromatic spice aisles to the ingenious resourcefulness of the recycling section, where everything from metal to rubber is given a second life. Just a stone’s throw away, we explore the legendary Sebategna Sefer (The Seventh Neighborhood). Originally established as a settlement for veterans, this area holds deep historical significance in the city’s evolution, perfectly capturing the "old Addis" charm through its traditional craftsmanship and tight-knit community energy.

Adding to the intrigue of these districts are the persistent rumors regarding the Corridor Development Project. While official plans have focused on major routes like Piassa, Mexico, and Bole, there is much talk on the streets about whether these iconic neighborhoods will be the next to see the "smart city" transformation. Some whisper that modern walkways and wider roads are inevitable, while others hope the historic character of Sebategna and the raw energy of Merkato will remain untouched. This video captures the area as it stands today—a vibrant blend of heritage and commerce—amidst the whispers of a changing urban landscape.
