Suri Tribe (surma Tribe)
Lower Omo Valley Ethiopia 🇪🇹

The Donga is a traditional stick-fighting competition practiced by the Suri (or Surma) men of southwestern Ethiopia. It serves as a rite of passage, a means of resolving conflicts, and a demonstration of strength and courage. Combatants, armed with long sticks called "donga," engage in intense one-on-one duels, often resulting in bruises or injuries. These fights are accompanied by ritualistic chants and dances, emphasizing the cultural significance of the event. The Donga not only tests physical prowess but also serves to maintain social order and reinforce communal bonds within the Suri Tribe

Bodi tribe has a small population compering to the Omo valley tribes and they reside near the Omo river, occupying about 1900 sq.km.They are bordered by the Mursi tribe as well. Both tribes though similar in several cultural patterns, clash from time to time. As a tribe, they are a group of people who are largely dependant on their livestock. They are also core agriculturalist who are involved in the growing of sorghum, maize and coffee, along the banks of Omo river.

Ka’el” which means “the holiday of the fat men”. The ceremony measures the body fat of the male contestant and rewards the winner with no more than fame and adulation of the people.Prior to the competition, each of the 14 clans of the Bodi tribe is expected to produce a male contestant who is unmarried. For 6 months, these unmarried men, They feed on blood and fresh milk. For the entire period of 6 months, they are not expected to engage in any physical activity. Already, Bodi men are naturally overweight due to their large consumption of honey now this ritual helps to put on the extra weight.

During this time too, they are not allowed to have sexual relations or leave their huts. Every morning the women bring them milk. The first bowl of blood is usually about 1-2 litres. Some may have a hard time finishing it and end up throwing up. Your guess is as good as mine…it’s probably not such a sweet experience.

On the day of the Ka’el ceremony, these fattened men leave their huts for the first time since the competition. With their bodies covered with clay and ashes, they display their physical abilities before the elders of the community who serve as judges.

The fat Bodi men spend hours usually under the sun, running around a sacred tree.To celebrate it, they dance, drink, sing, and the Fat men who have drunk a lot of milk for months make a competition, wearing this strange headdress made of feathers and beads.

Debre Birhan Selassie church
Northern Ethiopia
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The 17th century Debre Birhan Selassie Church is one of those places in life when you enter your chin literally hits the ground with awe followed by a few minutes of silence as you try to take in what you are looking at."

~What to See at Debre Birhan Selassie Church?

The outside of Debre Birhan Selassie is rather plain, but its interior has made it one of Ethiopia's top tourist attractions.

The walls depict biblical scenes and saints and the ceiling is covered with the faces of hundreds of angels. Icons of the Holy Trinity (three identical men with halos) and the Crucifixion have pride of place above the entrance to the Holy of Holies.

Above the floor of the church are the curtained windows of the second story stall from which Emperor Eyasu II and his mother Empress Mentewab would look down on the ceremonies.

~History of Debre Birhan Selassie Church?

Debre Birhan Selassie was built by Emperor Eyasu II (also known as Birhan Seged, "He to Whom the Light Bows") in the 17th Century. It was named Debre Birhan, "Mountain of Light," after the Emperor's nickname as well as in honor of the church of the same name in Shewa.
