Donkeys wait to receive care at a clinic in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on May 15, 2025. Ethiopia is thought to have the most donkeys in the world, one in five of the global total according to the United Nations, and they form a vital part of the economy. The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation says Ethiopia had some 9 million donkeys in 2018. They play a major economic role in the East African country of around 130 million people, ploughing fields and transporting goods. Donkeys offer a cheaper alternative to cars at a time when petrol prices have risen sharply. (Photo by Amanuel Sileshi/AFP Photo)
