  • The football stars of tomorrow<br />
<br />
Thousands of Football shirts of Arsenal, Manchester, Chelsea, Milano, etc end up their carreer in... Ethiopia. Sold in the deep south, in the Omo Valley, those second hand clothes are bought by the local tribes. Most of them ignore the meaning of those shirts, and just buy them for the color, the logo, or the shape.<br />
No warrior will go out without his little pillow/seat.<br />
Some, like in Hamer tribe wear at the top of the head a clay helmet where they can put some ostrich feathers when they make a special action, like killing a wild animal, or...a man.<br />
Those tribes won’t exist in few years as the ethiopian governement has launched a huge plan to develop the area.<br />
Soon, a highway coming from Mombassa - Nairobi will pass thru the villages to reach Addis Ababa.<br />
<br />
Photo shows: Hamar in Turmi, Ethiopia. He wears a Chelsea shirt because all the men who can access to a Tv in villages love football!<br />

  • THE ATOMIC SURFERS FROM FUKUSHIMA<br />
<br />
On march 11 at 2:46 pm 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0  earthquake magnitude which generated a tsunami on the japanese coasts. Here in Futaba beach, the giant wave has broken the first floor of an hotel.<br />
<br />
18,500 people died , 90% drowned by the tsunami wave . The bodies of 2,561 of these people were not found. Steles are visible along the roads to honor them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5 years later, the scars of the tsunami are still visible like  in Tomioka town . The law now prohibits to live in areas destroyed by the tsunami . Only the industrial or commercial activities are allowed, but the candidates are very few to come.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The road  fences have been bent by the strenght of the waves. Only the police patrols in the area to monitor the few houses still standing and controlling the curious visitors. In the distance the speakers encourage visitors and workers to consult a doctor in case of persistent headaches .<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The tsunami hit the Daaitchi nuclear plant , that can be spotted from Futaba beach . The disaster was rated level 7, the equivalent of Chernobyl. In 5 years, nearly 50 000 people have worked with strong financial incentives to decontaminate the plant and stop the leaks.<br />
<br />
<br />
Radiations sensors indicate the radioactivity level, but in these red zones classified as " difficulty to return zone" by the governement,  there is no one to read. 1 millisievert is the maximum permissible exposure limit during one year for humans..<br />
<br />
<br />
Depending on the degree of contamination in which is their home , residents receive compensation from TEPCO company. In the red zone they receive $ 1,000 per month per person . This creates tension in the population because those who are on the other side of the fence as here in Tomioka , receive nothing.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the « orange zone » , residents have the right to visit their home if they want to take care of it, like here in Naraha . This man comes weeding his garden. His wife refuses to come , and he will not bring his childre

On march 11 at 2:46 pm 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0  earthquake magnitude which generated a tsunami on the japanese coasts. Here in Futaba beach, the giant wave has broken the first floor of an hotel.<br />
<br />
18,500 people died , 90% drowned by the tsunami wave . The bodies of 2,561 of these people were not found. Steles are visible along the roads to honor them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5 years later, the scars of the tsunami are still visible like  in Tomioka town . The law now prohibits to live in areas destroyed by the tsunami . Only the industrial or commercial activities are allowed, but the candidates are very few to come.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The road  fences have been bent by the strenght of the waves. Only the police patrols in the area to monitor the few houses still standing and controlling the curious visitors. In the distance the speakers encourage visitors and workers to consult a doctor in case of persistent headaches .<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The tsunami hit the Daaitchi nuclear plant , that can be spotted from Futaba beach . The disaster was rated level 7, the equivalent of Chernobyl. In 5 years, nearly 50 000 people have worked with strong financial incentives to decontaminate the plant and stop the leaks.<br />
<br />
<br />
Radiations sensors indicate the radioactivity level, but in these red zones classified as " difficulty to return zone" by the governement,  there is no one to read. 1 millisievert is the maximum permissible exposure limit during one year for humans..<br />
<br />
<br />
Depending on the degree of contamination in which is their home , residents receive compensation from TEPCO company. In the red zone they receive $ 1,000 per month per person . This creates tension in the population because those who are on the other side of the fence as here in Tomioka , receive nothing.<br />

On march 11 at 2:46 pm 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0  earthquake magnitude which generated a tsunami on the japanese coasts. Here in Futaba beach, the giant wave has broken the first floor of an hotel.<br />
<br />
18,500 people died , 90% drowned by the tsunami wave . The bodies of 2,561 of these people were not found. Steles are visible along the roads to honor them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5 years later, the scars of the tsunami are still visible like  in Tomioka town . The law now prohibits to live in areas destroyed by the tsunami . Only the industrial or commercial activities are allowed, but the candidates are very few to come.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The road  fences have been bent by the strenght of the waves. Only the police patrols in the area to monitor the few houses still standing and controlling the curious visitors. In the distance the speakers encourage visitors and workers to consult a doctor in case of persistent headaches .<br />

On march 11 at 2:46 pm 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0  earthquake magnitude which generated a tsunami on the japanese coasts. Here in Futaba beach, the giant wave has broken the first floor of an hotel.<br />
<br />
18,500 people died , 90% drowned by the tsunami wave . The bodies of 2,561 of these people were not found. Steles are visible along the roads to honor them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5 years later, the scars of the tsunami are still visible like  in Tomioka town . The law now prohibits to live in areas destroyed by the tsunami . Only the industrial or commercial activities are allowed, but the candidates are very few to come.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The road  fences have been bent by the strenght of the waves. Only the police patrols in the area to monitor the few houses still standing and controlling the curious visitors. In the distance the speakers encourage visitors and workers to consult a doctor in case of persistent headaches .<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The tsunami hit the Daaitchi nuclear plant , that can be spotted from Futaba beach . The disaster was rated level 7, the equivalent of Chernobyl. In 5 years, nearly 50 000 people have worked with strong financial incentives to decontaminate the plant and stop the leaks.<br />
<br />
<br />
Radiations sensors indicate the radioactivity level, but in these red zones classified as " difficulty to return zone" by the governement,  there is no one to read. 1 millisievert is the maximum permissible exposure limit during one year for humans..<br />
<br />
<br />
Depending on the degree of contamination in which is their home , residents receive compensation from TEPCO company. In the red zone they receive $ 1,000 per month per person . This creates tension in the population because those who are on the other side of the fence as here in Tomioka , receive nothing.<br />

In the « orange zone » , residents have the right to visit their home if they want to take care of it, like here in Naraha . This man comes weeding his garden. His wife refuses to come , and he will not bring his childre

  • The Time for Knives in Ethiopia<br />
<br />
The Dassanech live in southern Ethiopia. Dwelling in isolation along the Omo River, they have retained an ancestral way of life.<br />
They are called the “People from the Delta” in relation to the neighboring Turkana Lake but their world is actually one of desert, dust and acacia trees. Add to this hostile environment the rampant presence of malaria. The Dassanech encompass eight clans. Each possesses magical powers, such as making fire, keeping snakes away or making it rain...<br />
<br />
<br />
The entire lives of the Dassanech revolve around their cattle, their only wealth. It provides meat, milk – which is essential during times of drought – and skins used as clothing and sleeping mats. The number of cows indicates their owner’s social status. Despite their isolation, the Dassanech do not live in peace – their livestock remain under the threat of constant raids by the neighbouring tribes.<br />
<br />
And that is not folklore meant to impress the rare tourists who venture into these areas. Bloody clashes take place regularly, often with the Turkana tribe. Civil war is raging in southern Sudan nearby and Kalashnikovs sell for only $50. One only needs to take a look at the number of men with scars on their torsos, a sign that they have killed an enemy, to understand the ferocity of the fighting. There are hundreds of deaths every year. Kill a man and you will be a hero among the Dassanech.<br />
<br />
To become a man, one must go through the ceremony of the Dime. It takes place every year in June. It is the most important ritual in the lives of young Dassanech. This is the time for circumcision for boys and excision for girls. The time for knives, as the elders say.<br />
<br />
Testimonies about this ceremony are rare and for a good reason: the elders are reluctant to let foreigners attend the Dime. Even the few educated local Dassanech guides who live in the village of Omorate always come up with a good excuse not to go there or pretend to ignore the right places or dates.<br />

The Dassanech live in southern Ethiopia. Dwelling in isolation along the Omo River, they have retained an ancestral way of life.<br />
They are called the “People from the Delta” in relation to the neighboring Turkana Lake but their world is actually one of desert, dust and acacia trees. Add to this hostile environment the rampant presence of malaria. The Dassanech encompass eight clans. Each possesses magical powers, such as making fire, keeping snakes away or making it rain...<br />
<br />
<br />
The entire lives of the Dassanech revolve around their cattle, their only wealth. It provides meat, milk – which is essential during times of drought – and skins used as clothing and sleeping mats. The number of cows indicates their owner’s social status. Despite their isolation, the Dassanech do not live in peace – their livestock remain under the threat of constant raids by the neighbouring tribes.<br />
<br />
And that is not folklore meant to impress the rare tourists who venture into these areas. Bloody clashes take place regularly, often with the Turkana tribe. Civil war is raging in southern Sudan nearby and Kalashnikovs sell for only $50. One only needs to take a look at the number of men with scars on their torsos, a sign that they have killed an enemy, to understand the ferocity of the fighting. There are hundreds of deaths every year. Kill a man and you will be a hero among the Dassanech.<br />
<br />
To become a man, one must go through the ceremony of the Dime. It takes place every year in June. It is the most important ritual in the lives of young Dassanech. This is the time for circumcision for boys and excision for girls. The time for knives, as the elders say.<br />
<br />
Testimonies about this ceremony are rare and for a good reason: the elders are reluctant to let foreigners attend the Dime. Even the few educated local Dassanech guides who live in the village of Omorate always come up with a good excuse not to go there or pretend to ignore the right places or dates.<br />

Testimonies about this ceremony are rare and for a good reason: the elders are reluctant to let foreigners attend the Dime. Even the few educated local Dassanech guides who live in the village of Omorate always come up with a good excuse not to go there or pretend to ignore the right places or dates.<br />

  • The Time for Knives in Ethiopia<br />
<br />
The Dassanech live in southern Ethiopia. Dwelling in isolation along the Omo River, they have retained an ancestral way of life.<br />
They are called the “People from the Delta” in relation to the neighboring Turkana Lake but their world is actually one of desert, dust and acacia trees. Add to this hostile environment the rampant presence of malaria. The Dassanech encompass eight clans. Each possesses magical powers, such as making fire, keeping snakes away or making it rain...<br />
<br />
<br />
The entire lives of the Dassanech revolve around their cattle, their only wealth. It provides meat, milk – which is essential during times of drought – and skins used as clothing and sleeping mats. The number of cows indicates their owner’s social status. Despite their isolation, the Dassanech do not live in peace – their livestock remain under the threat of constant raids by the neighbouring tribes.<br />
<br />
And that is not folklore meant to impress the rare tourists who venture into these areas. Bloody clashes take place regularly, often with the Turkana tribe. Civil war is raging in southern Sudan nearby and Kalashnikovs sell for only $50. One only needs to take a look at the number of men with scars on their torsos, a sign that they have killed an enemy, to understand the ferocity of the fighting. There are hundreds of deaths every year. Kill a man and you will be a hero among the Dassanech.<br />
