A broad street or highway.
Contexte culturel
In Addis Ababa, 'sefi menged' often refers to the Chinese-built ring roads and highways that have transformed the city in the last 20 years. Wide roads are often used for 'ሰልፍ' (parades) and religious festivals like Meskel, where thousands gather. Minibus taxis (blue and white) usually dominate the 'sefi mengeds', and knowing the names of these roads is key to commuting. Living on a 'sefi menged' is often seen as a sign of living in a more developed or accessible area.
