The society of the Hamar tribe of the Omo Valley (Ethiopia) consists in a complex system of age groups with complicated rituals to pass from one to the other; The bull-jumping is the final test before passing into adulthood and getting married;
Before the jump, the women of the jumperâs family are whipped to blood to prove their courage and accompany him during the test;
The whipper running the bull jumping is called maze; Mazes are single men who have already performed bull jumping; They are hired to whip the women during the ceremony and earn goats and money as a salary; Mazes survive on payments received for these ceremonies; They only feed themselves with milk, honey and meat; Once they get married, they get a dowry and some land if they are lucky; The Mazes take part to the eldersâ meeting before the ceremony;
The cow jumping or bull leaping consists in walking naked over bulls without falling; Once this is done, the boy becomes a man and is able to get married; Any boy who fails will be publicly humiliated, whipped by his female relatives and teased, insulted and beaten by both men and women for the rest of his life;

My diet success, so far. Lost about 30 KG (66 pounds), but I'm not ready yet.
Working out 4 times a week to grow some muscles, to continue my success story of successful body transformation
In Hana Mursi, the main town of the Bodis, the government plans to settle 300 000 people from all over Ethiopia over the next few years; Along with the workers and soldiers, AIDS and Hepatitis B are coming too; The Bodi tribespeople do not want to give up their traditions and their land to allow the new sugar cane plantations irrigated by the water of Gibe 3 dam, and live in the settlements planned by the government; If the Konso tribe attempts to set foot on their land with the support of the government, clashes will erupt as the Bodi elders predict;
The Bodi (or Meen) tribe lives close to the Omo River in southern Ethiopia (Omo Valley) and has the Mursi tribe as south neighbor and Konso at north; It is a pastoral and agricultural tribe, thus livestock plays a large role in the tribe; Along the banks of the river, they cultivate sorghum, maize and coffee;
For their new year in June, called Kael, Bodi men consume large amounts of blood and milk to become overweight;Â This tradition measures the body fat of a contestant; Each family or clan is allowed to present an unmarried contestant;Â The winner of this contest is awarded great fame by the tribe;Â The women in the tribe wear goatskin skirts and have a plug inserted into their chin; Most of them are now Christians;

Surma or suri is a sedentary pastoral tribe living in south west ethiopia, in omo valley on the western bank of the omo river, in kibish and tulgit areas;
only few surma are familiar with amharic, ethiopiaâs official language, and the literacy level is very low; lip plate and donga stick fights are the two typical distinctive features of these people, shared with the neighbouring mursi people;
Suri women wear giant lip plates as a sign of beauty, like in mursi tribe, and also an attraction for tourists; maintaining their image of an untouched people, living in one of the last wildernesses of africa; when they are ready to marry, teenagers start to make a hole in the lower lip with a wooden stick; it is to be removed the day after to put a bigger one; and then by a lip plate; few months after, it reaches its final size, and girls are seen as beautiful; the lip plate is made of wood or terracotta; the pressure of the plate breaks the lip, the girl will be considered as ugly and won't be able to marry anyone apart from old men or sick people

So after much pondering, well months if not years considering the good and bads of cutting my hairs ✂️
I'm everevolving, so when you feel it I think it's natural to change hairstyle too.
I usually cut my hairs by myself, but this time having long hairs, it was complex on the sides and back, so I asked my brother Denis De Iacovo to help me out.
He shoot the pics too
The choice was made and the scissors and clipper ✂️ were unleashed.
It's a variation based on the classic disconnected undercut, the back end is V shaped like a mohawk.
In the end I like the result a lot, after leaving my hair long for so much years I wasn't sure to look better, but I do, at least in my eyes.
I left them long enough on the top I'm able to style em in different ways.
Have a wonderful day

When the Surma shepherds leave their village, they paint their bodies like for a camouflage;
Like their neighbours, the Surma, living in Omo valley, Ethiopia, paint their bodies; They create a variety of designs on their naked bodies using their fingertips, which helps exposing their dark skins and aims at beautifying themselves and frightenning their opponents; Surma men, generally believed to be expert artists, also paint the girls;
Surma or Suri is a sedentary pastoral tribe living in south west Ethiopia, in Omo Valley on the western bank of the Omo River, in Kibish and Tulgit areas;
Itâs quite common to see men and women carrying Kalashnikovs, which are part of the daily life; Their land has always been a place of traditional rivalries amoung neighbouring tribes such as the Bume (Nyangatom) or the Toposa from Sudan who regularly team up to raid on their cattle; These fights have become quite bloody since automatic firearms have become available during in the Sudanese Civil War;
Only few Surma are familiar with Amharic, Ethiopiaâs official language, and the literacy level is very low; Lip plate and Donga stick fights are the two typical distinctive features of these people, shared with the neighbouring Mursi people;
The land of the Suri, in the Omo Valley, Ethiopia, is being stolen by the Ethiopian government to be rented to foreign companies; They are then rented out for 1 euro per hectare and per year;

A picture says more than a thousand words and in these photos Julia shows that her hard work paid off.
Bana people (also spelled Banna or Benna) are an indigenous tribe of 50 000 people, of the lower Omo Valley in Ethiopia; Their neighbors are the Hamer tribe;Â They are really similar to them and are for that reason often called Hammer-Bena;
The Banna People are a friendly people and they look fantastic; women wear many decorations and men wear the clay or braided hair style they get when they honour the slain of an enemy or of a wild animal; They live mostly of agriculture in upland areas to the east of the Omo Valley, adjacent to the area of Ari and Tsemai; You can meet them in the markets of Key Afer where they trade;
Just like most of the tribes the Bena practice ritual dancing and singing;Â The men often have their hair dressed up with a colorful clay cap that is decorated with feathers;Â Women of the tribe wear beads in their hair held together with butter;
The bull-jumping is the most significant ceremony in the social life of the Bana, the final test before passing into adulthood and in order to get married
