Timeless world of Ethiopia's Omo valley tribes
February 27, 2023- Omo River's valley, southwestern Ethiopia: A little girl carries a bag on her head with perfect balance, containing essential food: a small amount of grain and a large bottle of milk. The Dessenech tribe is a Nilotic ethnic group living near the border between Ethiopia and Kenya. They are known for their unique way of life, deeply connected to the river and their environment. Like many Nilotic groups, they follow a strong animistic belief system, seeing a sacred connection between the natural world and the spiritual realm, particularly with their cattle, land, and surroundings. The Dessenech live in a way that avoids calculations—free from counting ages, numbers, animals, deaths, or even the cycles of rain and drought. They embrace a life focused on the present moment, feeling unburdened and alive. Traditionally, they practice pastoralism, herding cattle, goats, and sheep. They also engage in handicraft, agriculture, growing crops such as millet and sorghum, although their environment can make farming challenging. Fishing is another significant activity due to their proximity to the Omo River and Lake Turkana. As it is one of the poorest tribes, some of the young generations are used to get supported by Australians, Europeans or US citizens in a way that they still live and grow up in their homelands but they have the financial support to study in the nearest cities. Then, some of them prefer to return back home in their tribe's village to help their families and to work as a guide to visitors. (Maro Kouri/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)
