The Great Mursi of Ethiopia
Permalink Closed

I was watching a documentary, probably a BBC production. It was about a tribe in South-East of Ephiopia, The Mursis. Am sorry to say this, though people say that they are the most dangerous tribe in Africa,but they are still living in the past, the dark ages to be precise. They put big plates on their lips to beautify themselves. One cant really call that beauty when you look at them. They have very odd behaviours, they even drink blood to make themselves stronger in preparation for stick fighting which can result into death sometimes. One of the reasons of the fight is to win the hearts of akazi amene ali ndi milomo yayitali kwambiri. The white person in the documentary made remarks which I was not impressed with, like the time they were drinking the blood he joked that the Mursis were vampires. That didnt come as a joke to me, it made me wonder what were the reasons for shooting that documentary. Kutipepeletsa! Akakhala M`ma couch mwawomo nkumatiseka.   Mchawa
