Thank you, Mohammed, for your comments and offer of assistance. I very much agree that there could have been many reasons for the behavior, and traveling -- or just living -- always has its risks. I definitely separate that behavior from the city and Harari people in general. I have met some very nice people who live in Harar.

I lived in NE Brazil for 1.5 years and I feel much safer in Ethiopia. There are also very dangerous places in my country, and I recognize that I tend to be more alert to those kinds of things when traveling. Where I live, there are shootings, and most recently by police of an innocent indigenous guy. So, I am constantly analyzing events, both positive and negative, so I can continually learn and connect with people. I appreciate your comments!
