I was walking on Mickey Leland Street after sunset, and if two young men were holding my jacket wanting to steal it, I managed to escape and I informed the police, in vain, as if nothing should have been taken into account, and similar events were repeated with me in different places in Addis Ababa.

My first day in the city and theres been the scam attempt with books and another where two guys, one of whom grabbed my arm and the other one who seemed to be selling tissues stiched my phone. Luckily I spotted it there and I demanded them to return my phone and some locals helped me to get it back. This happened next to the Embassy of Ghana.

Yes, many people and young kids come close and try to keep books close to waist and try to steal mobile phone by putting hand in pockets. Djibouti street particularly is very nasty after sunset and even during daylight many a times. Be careful of these thieves coming in the form of beggars
