The Lower Omo River in south west Ethiopia is home to eight different tribes with a population of about 200,000. These tribes have lived there for centuries.
A massive hydroelectric dam and associated land grabs for plantations threaten these tribes of the Lower Omo River
The tribes have lived in this area for centuries and have developed techniques to survive in a challenging environment.
They have not given their free, prior and informed consent for the dam or the plantations and have already started to lose their livelihoods based on the river's natural flood cycle.
However the future of these tribes lies in the balance. A massive hydro-electric dam, Gibe III, has now been built on the Omo river in order to support vast commercial plantations that are forcing the tribes from their land.
Salini Costruttori, an Italian company, started construction work on the dam at the end of 2006, and it is now complete. The government is now planning to building Gibe IV and Gibe V.
This will destroy a fragile environment and the livelihoods of the tribes, which are closely linked to the river and its annual floo
The truth about Tribal Ethiopia a picture is worth a thousand words. How much is the value of 286 pictures by the Dutch photographer Ingetje Tadros telling you the Truth of Tribal Ethiopia? Amazing and astonishing. Have a look inside and feel the threats by the Gibe III Hydroelectric Dam which could destroy the livelihoods of these tribes. A portion of sales of this book will be donated to Survival,
