Pictures of the Week – My Moroccan Days
A few days after the Al Qaeda big man was taken out, I took a 24-hour bus ride from Dakhla to Marrakech, only to find more terrorism related stories. A few days before my arrival, terrorists bombed one of Marrakech’ famous restaurants, often frequented by tourists.
The drive along the coast of the Western Sahara was flavoured with a beautiful sunset, some shipwrecks, spectacular cliffs and a few remote fishing villages.

Pictures of the Week – Western Sahara
The Western Sahara is a disputed territory in North Africa, bordered by Morocco to the north, Algeria to the northeast, Mauritania to the east and south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Its surface area amounts to 266,000 square kilometers. It is one of the most sparsely populated territories in the world, mainly consisting of desert flatlands. The population of the territory is estimated at just over 500,000, over half of who live in El Aaiún, the largest city in Western Sahara.

New Ethiopia Pics
The Karo is an Omotic speaking group that lives in the South Omo Zone of the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region in Ethiopia. The group is closely related to their neighbors the Hamar and the Banna. The most striking thing about Karo people’s symbolic and ornamental expressions is the painted body and face decorations. This is an elaborate process, which ranges from fine and elaborate details to rough, but striking paintings traced with the palms or fingers.
In common with their linguistically and culturally affiliated Tsemai neighbors, the Erbore migrated to their present homeland from Konso perhaps two centuries ago. Because they have ancestral and cultural links to Konso and the pastoralists of the surrounding lowlands, the Erbore traditionally played an important role as middlemen in trade between the Omo River and the Konso Highlands.
