Ethiopia

Inside the Harar Museum

Everyone works. There is no welfare in Ethiopia

Returning back to Dire Dawa and the local traffic..

Kefira is a traditional market place, located in Dire Dawa, where one can see the colorful presentation of all people of the region in their cultural dresses.

The presence of camels, donkeys, and the inevitable Gharris, two wheeled carts drown by a horse or a mule, gives it an aura of going back to medieval times.

Selling Khat to buyers to chew.

Many selling and buying are members of the Oromo aqnd Afar tribes.

Narrow walk ways

Younger people gathered to buy and chew the Khat. It is an epidemic. So many have lost all their teeth due to needing to combine the Khat with Coca Cola and sugar. No teeth at age 21.

Sugar cane is used to chew for something sweet along with the Khat.

It is also the meeting place for social interaction.
