IN YOUR HANDS
In the OMO Valley there are about fifteen ethnic groups that still live in an ancestral way, with solidly rooted uses and customs. The Mursi are nomadic shepherds who move in search of water and pastures for their livestock both in the rainy and in the dry season. This is an ethnic group of brave and fierce warriors and it's necessary to be escorted by armed rangers to meet them. This young Mursi girl hugs her mom and looks at me with her deep and intense eyes.
