OMO VALLEY, ETHIOPIA - October, Women from the African tribe Mursi ,Surma in Mago National Park, Ethiopia.The photo is part of the album `Ethiopian tribes expedition` 2018.The omo valley’s most legendary warrior tribe is the Mursi. They live in the barren environment outside of the regional capital, Jinka. Often embroiled in tribal warfare with the Hamer and Karo tribes, the Mursi is well-known for their aggression. The women, similar to the suri, wear elaborate headpieces and lip plates, and live harsher lives in comparison with other nearby tribes. The violent nature of the Mursi means their tribal numbers are declining more rapidly than their Omo valley counterparts.
