3 - Ababa Tesfaye has been selling books and cassettes in Addis for a long long long time - way before he got sacked from his job. It's always uncomfortable to watch - but ye megist demoz yetim aydersem - so I guess it's extra income. (Comment this)
4 - I heard this story from my cousin. I guess he's been doing this for a while. It is sad to see a talented man selling his precious books on the street. (Comment this)
6 - you know he probably sells more books this way than if his books were collecting dust on bookstore shelves. Nothing like direct promotion by the famous man himself. I think he just did the numbers and found that this is the best way to promote and sell his books. However, I'm sure the loss of his job hurts quite a bit. Whatever his salary was, it would at least cover the utilities, food, and transportation.
