Facing the lake's dangers | SLICE

Ethiopia is a beautiful country full of natural ressources. But the local population often have to risk their lives in order to take advantage of it.
That is the case for the Borana tribe. These semi-nomadic herdsmen live next to an extinct volcano which produces a kind of salty earth. To extract this prized resource, the men have to plunge deep into the lake while the salt bit their skin and hurt their eyes.
For the people living on the coast of lake Chamo, the lake is also above all a means of survival. But this time, the danger lies not in the lake but in its wild inhabitants. Every time, the fishermen take to the water on their simple rafts made from rough-hewn logs, they risk being attacked by crocodiles or hippos.

Masha Allah very beautiful videos and very interested life is very hard

[@e.m.5499]

People are amazing. These folks all have good attitudes. Considering the danger, and abject poverty. My respect to them.

[@spjr99]

i think poverty is a condition of "civilized " western society and eastern society. if you live off the land all your life you are not poor. but if you grow up in society which values money and material things you can be poor

[@spjr99]

with all the conveniences of modern society and modern medicine we still die in plenty of crazy ways and suffer in ways thes epeople will never experience

[@StockHeightChevy603]

Ethiopian coffee is the best! I love going to a roaster and getting single origin Ethiopian green beans!

His intelligence shines out, it's sad that the world is so unfair.
Could they hunt crocodiles?
Could they build bigger safer boats?

[@Dragon34th]

To say that in Florida & some part of America, people eat crocodiles, an animal which eats humans.

[@oftin_wong]

I'd put a bit more effort into making a safer boat to fish off

[@oftin_wong]

@Dmitry Reus so what are you saying ....don't expect much from Africans ...?

[@goatinwater239]

How will you test the trial and error stage of making said boat? Just ask the crocodiles to be nice while you're putting effort into creating a new boat, ahaha

[@oftin_wong]

What if there's a killshot solar flare? .. no electricity. Back to the stone age.
25% chance of one in the next 5 years.
🌟😎
But hey, 75% chance we will meet here in 10 years!
But that salty dormant volcano will wake up probably in about 20 years. That's when we definitely go back to the stone age.

[@jaydenmathew9906]

Men go through a lot

[@shaobutong5466]

[@charliedebravo3960]

Sorry, I don’t drink coffee.

[@user-pwfus]

They should kill the crocs worth more money for the meat and the skin.

[@Nyasalands_Finest]
