The Kara is a small group of people who live in the east bank of the Omo River in the administrative region of south Omo. The total population of the Kara is around
3,000
They are surrounded by relatively wealthy and strong groups, in terms of cattle and population size. With some of these groups, the Kara has trade exchange and bond - friendship and with some of they engage in raids and counter-raids.
"The kara and bashada come together from Ari long time ago at those times, water could hardly be found •in this area here and watering cattle was difficult. And it was a drought season also the place where they live is called II Atula" it is dessert now days people call it "Assile" (Susanne Epple).
While the people were looking for water one of their cows disappeared for several days when it returned it had obviously drunk water after a day of so the cow left the herd again and when some men followed it through the bush they eventually found the Omo River when the cow had gone to drink.
When the men told their group that they had found water, part of the group decided to move on and settle next to the river. And they divided in to two groups From then on they were called ' l Kara ll those who 'l eat fish" others were too exhausted to reach the river and decided to stay in the hilly region behind. They were from then on called the ' 'Bashada" the exhausted ones those who stay behind.
The Kara speaks a south omotic language, a dialect of that spoken by the Hamar and banna. They use the name Karo repairing to themselves and their land. Their neighbors, especially Hamar,banna,bashada and Nyangatom know them by the name Kara the term which means fish. In the language of the Kara.

Independent for three millennia
Ethiopia has survived dynamic historic changes and is the birthstone of great indigenous civilizations. Today's Ethiopia was once in control over the entire East African territory. At that time it was a world-famous influential powerhouse with absolute control over the Red Sea, Indian Ocean trade routes and South Arabian countries.
Ethiopia is a country of variety, extremes, uniqueness, freedom, colorful culture, religions, legends, natural beauty and much more. On the map of East Africa, Ethiopia is easily found in the area called the horn of Africa, Covering a total area of 1,112,000 sq. km. and shares boundaries with Kenya, Sudan, Somalia, Djibouti and Eritrea.

Ethiopia provides great combination of attracting destinations, a country with one of the richest histories on the African continent, a land of contrast and surprises, of remote and wild places, has climate and scenery as pleasant as that in southern Africa. Have birds and animals as interesting as anything in east Africa. Have tribal groups as fascinating as any in West Africa and, Ethiopia turns out to be a country far richer than many imagine.
Ethiopia is known as the birthplace of the coffee plant, Coffee Arabica. Many people have heard the legend of Kaldi, the goat herder in the ninth century who supposedly tracked the energetic behavior of his animals to the red coffee cherries they consumed, in turn “discovering" coffee. So yes, the coffee plant originated from Kaffa, a region in southwestern Ethiopia. The Kaffa Biosphere Reserve is located in the Kaffa Zone of Ethiopia. It is inside this area where coffee was first discovered. And according to UNESCO, it is currently home to almost 5,000 wild Arabica coffee varieties.
