Indigenous people in the Omo Valley
【 Ethiopia *East South Africa 】
Eleven day trip to Ethiopia. In addition to Addis Ababa, the capital, fly north to Lalibela and drive south eight hundred More than kilometers to the Omo Valley. Go to the Omo Valley to mainly watch some local customs of the primitive tribes there, mainly including "jumping cattle", "lip plate tribe", and world cultural heritage Konso Village and several markets. This is a travel experience completely different from that of Europe, India and Southeast Asia, which is a bit shocking and unimaginable. As Bosxu is still in the process of writing, a group of photos of local people taken in the village and market of Omo Valley will be sent first.
Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in the world. Mainly agriculture and animal husbandry, with weak industrial foundation.
About eighty Many nationalities, mainly Oromo( 40% )Amhara( 20% )Tigray( 8% ), Somali( 6% ), Sidamo nationality( 4% )Etc. Among residents 45% Believing in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, 40-45% Believing in Islam, 5% They believe in Protestantism, and the rest believe in primitive religion.
Women are doing heavy work. Most of the people seen in the market town are still wearing plastic slippers, and many are barefoot. As for the countryside, barefoot people are everywhere, shocking!
The following photos were taken at Afa Fair. The aborigines here have become very commercialized. Generally, you can't shoot directly at them, which is totally different from India and Nepal. Therefore, the two girls volunteered to shoot, and they could not refuse to pay 5 birr (Ethiopian currency, equivalent to RMB one point seven element ), as poverty alleviation! (The last one is a snapshot, hehe!)
