Inside the thicket stood two rows of dasoyils, the dome-shaped folding huts used by wandering Ogaden herdsmen. There were two shops stocked with canned goods, boxes of spaghetti and bolts of cloth, a café where men sat drinking cups of steaming spiced tea laced with sour camel milk, a stall where a cobbler took orders for made-to-measure goatskin sandals.

Real cloth would have been classier...
