Sambate market is exceptional in that it probably hasn't changed in centuries. Sharp differences in dress and jewelry mark ethnic diversity, as shown here by the difference between the two Afar girls in the center and the Oromo girl on the right..girls and the Oromo girl on the right..
In this picture, an Oromo girl displays all her attire for our benefit. Her jewels are made of silver. Her hair is perfumed with spiced butter. The delicate fragrance of it is unforgettable........................................ unforgetable.
These two Oromo ladies came to sell small quantities of beans they've grown. They will probably use the proceeds as pocket money.

Bread and rice have become the dominant staple foods in most African cities. The major reason is their ease of preparation compared with traditional staples. These young girls will retail in the neighborhood the bread that came in the pick-up truck.....................

Bottled water, although a luxury for most people, has found an eager market among expatriates and bottle-fed children alike. Indeed, in most cities, tap water is not safe for drinking. The main reason is the old age and consequent porosity of underground pipes and the resulting contamination by sewer and runoff water. The quality of the water that initially enters the pipes is seldom in question.

Dorze market is yet of a different kind. Local weavers are reputedly the best of Ethiopia. Most of their production of textiles and blankets is purchased by traders on this market and shipped to the capital city for resale.

This local weaver is anxiously awaiting to hear the price at which his weekly production will sell. Delicately embroidered textiles like the shawl he is wearing are a trademark of local craftsmanship...
Who said that the "bachee" isn't strong? Peugeot should probably run this picture as an ad...ed on the domestication of the camel, the establishment of oases on trade route, and the acclimatization of specialized people to harsh desert conditions........nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnna variety of sources, mostly from Stanford students and faculty. They differ in quality, and suffer from shortcomings in computer hardware and software. In spite of this, they convey information about the continent that could not be effectively transmitted otherwise. Sarah, Omar, Michael and I have spent hundreds of hours digitizing and fine tuning them. We hope you'll enjoy this presentation.

After visiting the market, Dorze craftsmen meet at the local bar to drink 'tedj', a home-made mead. They drink from bottle-shaped glasses. Customers are all male but the business is operated by women.
The salt trade is one of the oldest forms of long distance trade in Africa. The salt sold here on this Ethiopian highland market is gathered by Afars from the dried-up bed of a long gone sea. The place where this salt is mined is actually one of the hottest places on earth. Still today, this salt finds its way to most of the Northern Ethiopian highlands.

The salt is cut and carried around in blocks that are cut with a saw for retail.
Smuggling is another popular form of trade. Here gasoline smuggled from Nigeria is sold by the bottle on the roadside in Cotonou, Benin.

This man's entire shop in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia, sells around smuggled goods -- clothes, shoes, and household electronics. The goods arrive from Djibouti on camel back to be resold here. Authorities tolerate the practice, only to seize (some of the) purchased goods from customers on their way back from the market. Strange approach, but police and traders seem to find it mutually satisfactory..sfactory.

In this case, the pastoralists are the Afars, a fierce people raising camels and goats in the Rift Valley desert of Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti. In order to participate in the market, the Afars need to be guaranteed safe passage with their animals on the lands of Oromo farmers.
Afars spend the night here in Sambate and get ready to leave early in the morning. These two girls are seen here packing their tent on their camel's back. here in Sambate and pack in the early morning. These two girls are seen here packing their tent on their camel's back.
