			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Je quitte Addis Abeba (nouvelle fleur en Amharique) le 14 avril pour un trajet direct jusque Bahar Dar.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">I left Addis Ababa( New Flower in Amharic ) April 14 to provide direct access to Bahar Dar .</span></p>
<p><span id="more-5492"></span></p>
<p>Un grand merci au passage à Franck de la croix-rouge pour la bonne compagnie au bar (et les bières !) du Wim’s House où j’avais planté la tente. Ainsi qu’à Ben, Johan et Brend.</p>
<p>Je remercie également Flavio et son beau-frère Christophe pour les conseils sur la suite de mon voyage en Ethiopie.</p>
<p>A Addis j’avais eu la mauvaise surprise de devoir chercher à nouveau un pneu arrière !</p>
<p>En effet, celui acheté chez Jungle Jonction à Nairobi est déjà mort après seulement 2700 km !</p>
<p>Les crampons se déchirent et laissent apparaitre des hernies à la place ! Pas cool !</p>
<p>Alors à tous ceux qui passent par là, ne faites pas la même erreur d’acheter cette saloperie de pneu soi-disant de bonne qualité : «Golden» made in Koréa ! Même pas cher c’est pas l’affaire du siècle ! (En tout cas en version sable parce qu’en version mixte ils ont l’air de mieux tenir)</p>
<p>Et c’est pas faute d’avoir roulé vite car avec mes côtes en schmulte, j’ai pas dû dépasser les 80 km/h, que ce soit sur goudron ou sur piste, depuis mon départ de Nairobi…</p>
<p>Bon dans mon malheur, je m’en sors pas trop mal car chez Wim’s house, je trouverai dans un coin un vieux pneu Metzeler «Karoo 3» qui fera bien encore ses 3 ou 4 milles bornes. Avec mon ancien Pirelli «Scorpion Rally» acheté à Dar que j’avais eu la bonne idée de conserver, je devrais m’en sortir jusqu’au Caire.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">A big thank you to Frank passage of the Red Cross for the right company at the bar ( and beer !) Wim&#8217;s House where I pitched the tent. As well as Ben , Johan and Brend .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">I also thank Flavio and his brother Christophe for advice on the rest of my trip to Ethiopia .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">In Addis I was shocked to have to seek new rear tire !</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Indeed, one purchased at Jungle Junction in Nairobi is already dead after only 2700 km !</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Spikes tear and leave hernias appear instead! Not cool!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">So to all those who pass by , do not make the same mistake of buying the damn tire supposedly good &nbsp;&raquo; Golden &nbsp;&raquo; Made in Korea! Even cheap is not the deal of the century ! ( In any case version because in sand mixed version they seem to take better )</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">And it is not for lack of rolled quickly because with my ribs I had not exceed 80 km / h , whether on asphalt or track , since my departure from Nairobi&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Good in my misfortune , I &#8216;m not doing too bad as Wim &#8216;s house , I&#8217;ll find a corner an old tire Metzeler &nbsp;&raquo; Karoo 3 &nbsp;&raquo; that will yet its 3 or 4000 terminals . With my old Pirelli &nbsp;&raquo; Scorpion Rally &nbsp;&raquo; bought in Dar I had the good idea to keep , I should get out to Cairo.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.le-grand-raid.com/2014/05/ethiopie-lhistoire-dans-la-pierre/img_3723/" rel="attachment wp-att-5590"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5590" title="IMG_3723" src="http://www.le-grand-raid.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/IMG_3723.jpg" alt="" width="448" height="336" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.le-grand-raid.com/2014/05/ethiopie-lhistoire-dans-la-pierre/img_3720/" rel="attachment wp-att-5589"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5589" title="IMG_3720" src="http://www.le-grand-raid.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/IMG_3720.jpg" alt="" width="448" height="336" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Bref, j’arrive donc sur Bahar Dar et y resterai deux jours. En plus d’avoir des allures de ville balnéaire avec ses avenues bordées de palmiers, cette petite ville est aussi l’endroit où le Nil Bleu prend sa source dans le lac Tana. A quelques 35 kms de là, les chutes du Nil bleu (appelées Tis Isat «L’eau qui fume»), ne sont franchement plus aussi impressionnantes qu’elles l’ont à priori été. Et pour cause, un barrage construit en amont détourne les trois quarts de l’eau du fleuve. Ajoutez à ça le fait que contrairement au Sud du pays, la saison des pluies ne débute ici que timidement…</p>
<p>Bon, la balade reste agréable quoi&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">In short, I can then go to Bahar Dar and will stay two days. In addition to the appearance of a seaside town with its palm-lined avenues , this small town is also where the Blue Nile has its source in Lake Tana . Just 35 kms away, the Blue Nile Falls ( Tis Isat called &laquo;&nbsp;water smoker &laquo;&nbsp;), are frankly more impressive as they have been a priori . And because a dam built upstream away three-quarters of the river water . Add to that the fact that unlike the South, the rainy season begins here timidly&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Well, the ride is pleasant what &#8230;</span></p>

<p> Après ce court séjour, direction : Lalibela !</p>
<p>Cet ensemble de douze monumentales églises taillées dans la roche laisse littéralement sans voix !</p>
<p>Elles ont été creusées, à même la roche des contreforts du mont Abouma Yosef.  Après avoir d’abord dégagé des cubes de la taille des futurs sanctuaires en creusant des fossés dans la roche, les artisans de l’époque excavaient l’intérieur en aménageant les voûtes et les arcades pour créer les volumes «habitables».</p>
<p>Les sculpteurs descendaient au fur et à mesure que la taille des parties supérieures s’achevait, évacuant les débris par les fenêtres.</p>
<p>Cet ensemble architectural de Roha (ancien nom de la ville) a été réalisé par le roi Lalibela aux alentours du  XII è et XIIIè siècle.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">After this short break , head for Lalibela !</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">This set of twelve monumental churches carved into the rock left literally speechless!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">They were dug into the rock buttresses of Mount Abouma Yosef . After initially clear cubes the size of future sanctuaries digging trenches in rock, the artisans of the time excavaient inside by building vaults and arches to create volumes &nbsp;&raquo; livable .&nbsp;&raquo;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Sculptors down gradually as the size of the upper parts ended , removing debris from the windows .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">This architectural Roha (former name of the city ) was created by King Lalibela around the XII th and XIII century .</span></p>

<p> La légende raconte que ces églises auraient été érigées en vingt quatre ans seulement grâce à l’assistance des anges qui venaient travailler la nuit.</p>
<p>Aujourd’hui, près de huit siècles plus tard, le tuf rouge (la roche volcanique) dans laquelle ont été creusées ces églises classées à l’Unesco, souffre des intempéries. C’est pourquoi des sortes d’immenses chapiteaux de toile très inesthétiques ont été installés en protection au-dessus. Si cela rend l’endroit un peu moins magique, ce site reste néanmoins un lieu de pèlerinage de substitution à la Terre Sainte et est considéré depuis des siècles comme une nouvelle Jérusalem.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Legend has it that these churches were erected in just twenty-four years with the assistance of the angels who came to work at night.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Today, nearly eight centuries later, the red tuff ( volcanic rock ) in which these churches were carved classified Unesco , suffers from bad weather. That is why the kinds of huge capitals very unsightly cloth were installed in protection above . If this makes the place a</span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">little less magical, this site still remains a place of pilgrimage to the Holy Land substitution and is regarded for centuries as a new Jerusalem.</span></p>

<p>Dans cette région se trouvent aussi des dizaines d’églises rupestres taillées dans la roche. Mais cette fois-ci, elles ne sont pas creusées à même le sol…</p>
<p>Comme s&#8217;ils avaient voulu les cacher des regards, les hommes les ayant réalisées ont choisi de les nicher… dans les sommets !<span style="text-align: center;"> </span></p>
<p>Soudain pris d’un élan de bravoure et d’esprit de challenge, je décide d’aller visiter l’une des plus difficiles d’accès : l’église «Abouma Yemata».</p>
<p>Après une grimpette des plus périlleuses se terminant par une véritable escalade pieds nus (rituel oblige…) je regretterai mon geste lorsqu’un orage terrible s’abattra sur la montagne une fois dans l’église. C’est que maintenant, il faut redescendre&#8230;  sans godasse, sur une roche mouillée…  C’est bien parce que là-haut y a rien à bouffer, parce que j’aurai bien attendu la saison sèche !</p>
<p>Cela dit, mon effort a été récompensé. Perché aux sommets des parois abruptes, ce sanctuaire d’une religion que ses adeptes auraient voulu garder secrète est&#8230; Spectaculaire !</p>
<p>Fondu dans ces grandioses décors naturels de pitons rocheux, cette «Eglise grotte», ayant nécessité pour sa réalisation une foi inébranlable, cache dans son coeur, superbement isolées du monde, les plus belles fresques de la région.</p>
<p>Sans les encouragements de mon guide Gabriel (un vrai ange gardien !) qui prendra bien le temps de me rassurer, je serais encore là-haut !</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Superb Home by Angelo Fratelo and community volunteers who offer me room and covered for two days and three nights !</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Wukro is in the region of Tigrey .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">In this region also are dozens of rock churches carved into the rock . But this time , they are not dug into the ground &#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">As if they wanted to hide from view, the men who carried chose the nest &#8230; in the heights!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Suddenly seized with a fit of bravery and spirit of challenge , I decided to visit one of the most difficult to access : the church &nbsp;&raquo; Abouma Yemata .&nbsp;&raquo;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">After a most perilous climb ending with a true climbing barefoot (ritual requires &#8230; ) I regret my action when a terrible storm will fall on the mountain once in the church. Is that now we have come down &#8230; without shoes on a wet rock &#8230; This is up there because there is nothing to eat , because I have waited well the dry season !</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">That said, my effort was rewarded. Perched at the tops of steep walls, sanctuary of a religion that its followers would have wanted to keep secret is &#8230; Spectacular !</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Melted in the magnificent natural scenery of rocky peaks , this &nbsp;&raquo; Cave Church &nbsp;&raquo; , which required for its realization unwavering faith , hidden in his heart, superbly isolated from the world , the most beautiful frescoes in the region.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Without the encouragement of my guide Gabriel ( a true guardian angel !) Will take plenty of time to reassure me , I&#8217;d still be up there!</span></p>

<p>Direction le Nord : Axum.</p>
<p>Cette petite ville est l’endroit où serait née l’une des plus importantes civilisations éthiopiennes : le royaume Axoumite.</p>
<p>Etendu du Yémen au Soudan, c’était un carrefour commercial qui avait le monopole du négoce sur la mer rouge entre la Méditerranée, l’Egypte et l’Inde. Ce royaume rivalisa en son temps avec les grands empires de l’époque jusqu’au VII e siècle de notre ère.</p>
<p>Au nord de la ville se trouve «le champ des stèles» ou se dressent d’immenses monolithes. Ces obélisques soulèvent encore les interrogations des scientifiques quant à la façon dont ils ont été transportés puis redressés ici…  Certains d’entre eux pèsent plusieurs centaines de tonnes !</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Heading North : Axum.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">This small town is where would be born one of the largest Ethiopian civilizations : the Axumite kingdom .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Extended from Yemen to Sudan , it was a commercial hub that had the monopoly of trading on the Red Sea between the</span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Mediterranean , Egypt and India. This kingdom competed in his time with the great empires of the time until the seventh century AD.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">North of the city is &laquo;&nbsp;the field of stelae &nbsp;&raquo; or stand huge monoliths . These obelisks still raise the scientific questions about how they were transported and recovered here &#8230; Some of them weigh hundreds of tons !</span></p>

<p> Je quitte Axoum pour emprunter la plus belle piste d’Ethiopie jusque Debark, avec en toile de fond le superbe panorama du massif du Simien (Le toit de l’Ethiopie). Des dénivelés spectaculaires, passant de 2000 mètres à moins de 800 puis remontant à plus de 3000 à Debark.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> I leave Axum to borrow the best of Ethiopia Debark track down , with the backdrop of the magnificent panorama of the massive Simien ( The roof of Ethiopia ) . Dramatic elevations from 2,000 meters to less than 800 and up to over 3000 Debark .</span></p>

<p>L’entrée du parc du Simien (Simien voulant dire « Nord » en Amharique) se trouve à Debark.</p>
<p>Interdiction d’y pénétrer sans une escorte armée. Le bureau du parc sera vraiment sympa avec moi et ne me chargera pas avec les frais obligatoires pour y aller en véhicule.</p>
<p>Délesté de mes bagages dans un hôtel, nous voilà partis pour 48 heures de balade avec Agabro, mon escorte.</p>
<p>Dans ce parc on trouve des animaux endémiques à l’Ethiopie comme le babouin Geladas (c’est un babouin très beatnik qui s’est laissé pousser les cheveux…), et l’Ibex Walia (un bouquetin des montagnes du Simien exclusivement !)</p>
<p>Ma nuit passée sous tente à 3600 mètres d’altitude dans ces paysages grandioses n’aura pas été la plus chaude depuis mon départ.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">The park entrance Simien ( Simien meaning &laquo;&nbsp;north&nbsp;&raquo; in Amharic ) is Debark .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Prohibition from entering without an armed escort. The park office will be really nice to me and did not charge me with mandatory to go in vehicle costs.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Unloaded my luggage in a hotel, we went for 48 hours of ride Agabro with my escort.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">In this park there are endemic animals like baboons, Ethiopia Geladas ( this is a very beatnik baboon who let their hair grow &#8230; ) , and the Walia Ibex ( ibex Simien Mountains exclusively !)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">My last night in tents at 3600 metersaltitude in these landscapes has not been the warmest since my departure.</span></p>

<p> C’est pas de tout ça, faut que je me rapproche de la frontière du Soudan. Je ferai donc une dernière pause à Gondar. Cette ville qui fut la capitale des souverains Ethiopiens du XVIIe au XIXe siècle possède elle aussi des richesses architecturales. Tous les rois qui se sont succédés y ont fait construire un château !</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">It&#8217;s not all that, I have to close the border with Sudan. So I will do a final break in Gondar . This city was the capital of the sovereign Ethiopians from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century has also architectural wealth. All the kings who succeeded did build a castle!</span></p>

<p> Bon voilà, l’Ethiopie c’est fini…</p>
<p>Cette terre et sa riche histoire mériterait d’y passer plus de temps.</p>
<p>Difficile de tout remettre en ordre… et je me garderai bien d’essayer de faire une chronologie.</p>
<p>Faut dire que dans cette vallée du Rift, sont apparus les premiers êtres humains il y a entre 3 et 4 millions d’années …</p>
<p>Puis déjà des sociétés plus de 3000 ans avant JC. Ensuite des influences grecques, sud arabiques, Sabéennes et autres, des guerres de religions,  des successions de pouvoirs, bref l’histoire de l’humanité quoi…</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Well now ,Ethiopia is finish &#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">This land and its rich history deserves to spend more time .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Difficult to put in order all &#8230; and I am not going to try to make a timeline.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">I must say that in this Rift Valley ,appeared the first humans there between 3 and 4 million years &#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Then companies already more than 3000 years BC. Then Greek influences, South Arabian , Sabaean and other religious wars , successions of powers , in short the history of humanity &#8230;</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bon je ne peux pas vous quitter sans vous parler d’un événement à ne manquer sous aucun prétexte !</p>
<p>«Le Travel Event» organisé par Touratech le week-end du 23 au 25 Mai à Orange.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Je passe donc la frontière éthiopienne le 29 Mars.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">So I passed the Ethiopian border on March 29 .</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-5224"></span></p>
<p>Nous sommes samedi, il est 14h. L’immigration tamponne mon passeport rapidement mais quand j&#8217;arrive devant les bureaux de la douane, un type me dit : «C’est week-end : personne ne travaille avant lundi matin !»</p>
<p>J&#8217;ai une suée froide à l’idée de poireauter ici jusque là mais tout s’arrange : avec un billet pour faire venir à son poste le douanier en chef près de deux heures plus tard…</p>
<p>C’est bien la première fois qu’on me fait le coup des bureaux fermés le week-end…</p>
<p>Quand je disais qu’il était 14 heures, je parlais de l’heure indiquée par ma montre…</p>
<p>Mais en fait, ici, et au même moment, il n’était que 8 heures…</p>
<p>Dubitatif je me le fais confirmer par plusieurs éthiopiens : y a pas de doute, toutes les montres locales indiquent 8 heures. Et je ne serai pas au bout de ma surprise ! Car, en plus d’avoir un décalage de six heures sur l’horaire, ils prétendent tous n’être qu’en 2006 !</p>
<p>Je me gratte la tête ! Mon véhicule est bien une moto de marque BMW et non une Doloréane…</p>
<p>Et pourtant : y aurait-il eu une rupture dans le continuum espace temps ???</p>
<p>Heureusement, un gars vient gentiment m’expliquer avant que je ne tourne maboul…</p>
<p>L’Ethiopie suit le calendrier Julien ce qui place le pays sept ans et huit mois en «retard» sur notre calendrier Grégorien…</p>
<p>Quant à l’heure, c’est un comptage qui commence au lever du soleil. Quand celui-ci montre son nez à 6 heures sur ma montre, il n’est en fait que zéro heure chez eux. A 7 heures du matin il est donc une heure sur les leurs et ainsi de suite.</p>
<p>Ouf ! Une fois les pendules remises à l’heure tout va bien, j’suis rassuré, j’ai pas encore un trop gros pet au casque.</p>
<p>La route est superbe jusque Yabello où j’arrive à la nuit tombante.</p>
<p>Après avoir tourné en rond quelques temps pour trouver un hôtel bon marché, je rencontrerai Shaine. D’origine Sud Af, Shaine est un grand sportif qui vit depuis 5 ans en Hollande où il exerce le métier de kiné et participe à de nombreuses courses cyclistes en compétition. Il est parti du Caire il y a quelques semaines et a pour objectif de rejoindre le Cap ! Le tout sur un vélo chargé de près de trente kilos de bagages…</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">It&#8217;s Saturday , it is 14h . Immigration dab my passport quickly, but when I arrive at the offices of customs, a guy told me : &laquo;&nbsp;It&#8217;s the weekend : no work until Monday morning &laquo;&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">I have a cold sweat at the thought of hanging around here so far, but everything works out : with a ticket to come to his customs post chief nearly two hours later &#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">This is the first time the office is closed on weekends &#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">When I said it was 14 hours , I was talking about the time indicated by my watch &#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">But in fact, here , and at the same time , it was only 8:00 &#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Doubtful I do confirm by several Ethiopian : there is no doubt , all local watches indicate 8:00 . And I will not be the end of my surprise! Because , in addition to a shift of six hours on the schedule, they all claim to being in 2006 !</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">I scratch my head!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">And yet : would there was a break in the space time continuum ? ?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Fortunately, a guy comes kindly to explain to me before I turn crazy &#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Ethiopia follows the Julian calendar which places the country seven years and eight months &#8216;delay&#8217; on our Gregorian calendar &#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">As for now, it is a count which starts at sunrise . When it shows its face to 6:00 on my watch, it is in fact zero hour home. At 7:00 in the morning so it is an hour on their own and so on.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Whew! Once the clocks reset to the time all goes well , I&#8217;m assured, I have not too big pet headphones.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">The road is superb Yabello until I get to nightfall.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">After turning round some time to find a cheap hotel , I meet Shaine . Originally South Af Shaine is a great athlete who has lived for 5 years in Holland where he worked as a physiotherapist and participated in many cycling races in competition. He left Cairo there a few weeks and join the Cape aims ! All on a bicycle loaded nearly thirty pounds of luggage &#8230;</span></p>

<p>Le lendemain, je prendrai la direction de la vallée de l’Omo.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">The next day I take the direction of the Omo Valley.</span></p>

Il ne pleut pas et la piste de gravier est vraiment superbe. Arrivé à Turmi, je me dirige vers un petit hôtel local «le touriste Hôtel». Pour moins de 4€ une chambre…  très spartiate mais un lit avec moustiquaire et un robinet extérieur pour la toilette, c’est mieux que ma tente en cette saison !</p>
<p>A priori, la période touristique touche à sa fin et j’y serai le seul étranger.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">I &#8216;m lucky . It does not rain and the gravel track is really beautiful. Arrived at Turmi , I head to a small local hotel the &nbsp;&raquo; Hotel Tourist&nbsp;&raquo;. For less than 4 € a room &#8230; very spartan but a bed with mosquito net and an outside tap for washing , it&#8217;s better than my tent in this season!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">A priori, the tourist season is coming to an end and I will be the only foreigner .</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.le-grand-raid.com/2014/04/ethiopie-depaysement-spatio-temporel/img_3506/" rel="attachment wp-att-5312"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5312" title="IMG_3506" src="http://www.le-grand-raid.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/IMG_3506.jpg" alt="" width="448" height="336" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.le-grand-raid.com/2014/04/ethiopie-depaysement-spatio-temporel/img_9593-copier-682x10241/" rel="attachment wp-att-5471"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5471" title="IMG_9593-Copier-682x1024[1]" src="http://www.le-grand-raid.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/IMG_9593-Copier-682x10241.jpg" alt="" width="279" height="419" /></a></p>
<p>Turmi se trouve sur le territoire des Hamers et ayant encore un peu mal aux côtes, je décide de rester quelques temps. Je sympathise rapidement avec Kolo, un jeune du village, et il se fera un plaisir de m’apprendre la culture de cette ethnie des plus attachantes.</p>
<p>Le lendemain est le jour principal de marché. Certains Hamers marchent près de deux jours pour y arriver ! Sur la petite place, hommes, femmes et enfants exhibent leurs parures. Cheveux courts ou longs, parfois ornés de perles ou d’un diadème en fer, enduits de beurre et d’argile rouge ou surmontés de plumes pour les hommes, chaque détail indique l&#8217;appartenance à un clan, un groupe ou une famille.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Turmi is located on the territory of Hamers and having a little sore ribs , I decided to stay a while. I sympathize quickly with Kolo , a young man from the village, and he will be happy to teach me the culture of the ethnic group most endearing .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">The next is the main market day. Some Hamers walk nearly two days to get there! On the square , men , women and children show their adornment. Short or long hair , sometimes decorated with pearls or a diadem iron , coated with butter and topped with red or feathers for men clay , each detail indicates membership in a clan , a group or a family.</span></p>

<div>Les femmes sont le plus souvent vêtues de peaux de vache et portent des bracelets parfois très encombrants. Lorsqu’elles sont mariées, elles portent au cou un énorme collier en cuir qu’elles ne pourront retirer qu’au décès du mari. Estimés à plus de 40000 individus, les Hamers vivent essentiellement de la culture du sorgho et de l’élevage. L’abondance du bétail détermine la richesse et donc le rang social d’une famille.</div>
<div>A la naissance, chaque enfant reçoit en plus de son prénom, le nom d’une vache.</div>
<div>Ne s’attachant pas aux choses matérielles, ils ont su garder leur culture intacte depuis des générations sans aucune influence du monde extérieur.</div>
<div>Je passerai plus d’une semaine à faire la navette entre cette petite ville de Turmi et le village de Kolo où je planterai plusieurs fois ma tente à côté de la case familiale, partageant les repas du soir à base de sorgho et le traditionnel café du matin où toute la famille se raconte les histoires de la veille avant d’aller aux champs.</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Women are often dressed cowhides and wear bracelets can be very cumbersome. When they are married , they carry a huge neck collar leather they can not withdraw the death of the husband. Estimated at over 40,000 individuals, Hamers live mainly sorghum and livestock . The abundance of livestock determines the wealth and therefore social status of a family.</span></div>
<div>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">At birth, each child receives in addition to his name , the name of a cow.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Not holding material things , they kept their culture intact for generations without any influence from the outside world .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">I spend more than a week to shuttle between the small town and the village of Turmi Kolo where I will plant several times my tent next to the family hut , sharing dinner with sorghum and traditional coffee morning the whole family tells the stories of the day before going to the fields.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Chez le Hamers, il y a aussi un rituel très important : le «Oukouli» qui accompagne le passage de l’adolescence à l’âge adulte. Ce rite n’a lieu qu’entre décembre et mars et j’aurai la chance d’assister à l’un des derniers de la saison, au sein d’une famille vivant à près de 75 kms de Turmi.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Après une journée entière pendant laquelle les proches du futur initié boivent de la bière de sorgho dans d’énormes calebasses, les femmes parées de gros anneaux aux chevilles et de grelots dansant comme en transe sur un rythme saccadé, le Oukouli débutera en fin de soirée.</p>
<p>Le novice se présente nu devant l’assemblée. Sur un espace de terre, les vaches sont rassemblées et les hommes interviennent pour les aligner flanc contre flanc. Le jeune homme doit faire ses preuves ! Prenant son élan, il doit sauter debout sur la première et parcourir en courant l’ensemble du troupeau, sous le regard de ses aînés. Le tout à quatre reprises. Une seule chute lui sera pardonnée. Au-delà, ce sera l’humiliation suprême et il restera la honte du clan pour le restant de ses jours !</p>
<p>En parallèle se déroule une autre cérémonie. Deux jeunes enfants désignés par le clan se verront peindre le visage par les hommes. Ce sont les «Maz». Pendant le Oukouli, ils seront armés de branches flexibles et auront le rôle de fouetteur. Ce seront les femmes qui réclameront une séance de flagellation volontaire en signe de soutien au jeune initié.</p>
<p>Cette partie de la cérémonie est très violente et le gouvernement tend à l’interdire. Effectivement, les femmes qui réclament la torture en signe de courage finissent avec le dos lacéré et les conséquences sont parfois désastreuses…</p>
<p>C’est pourquoi cette fois-ci le clan décidera de faire vite et Kolo me demandera de ne pas photographier.</p>
<p>Le Oukouli est un rituel impressionnant !</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">At the Hamers , there is also a very important ritual: &nbsp;&raquo; Oukouli &nbsp;&raquo; that accompanies the transition from adolescence to adulthood. This ritual takes place only between December and March and I will have the chance to attend one of the last of the season, in a</span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">family living about 75 km from Turmi .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">After a full day during which the near future started drinking sorghum beer in huge gourds, wholesale women wearing anklets and bells dancing in a trance staccato rhythm, Oukouli begin in late evening .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">The novice has naked before the meeting. On an area of ​​land , cows are collected and men involved to align flank against flank. The young man has to prove himself ! Taking its impetus , he must jump up on the first go and ran the whole herd , under the eyes of his elders. All four times. One fall he will be forgiven. Beyond that, it will be the ultimate humiliation and shame clan will for the rest of his days !</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">In parallel runs another ceremony . Two young children appointed by the clan will be face painting by men. These are the &nbsp;&raquo; Maz &laquo;&nbsp;. During Oukouli , they will be armed with flexible branches and have the role of whipper . This will be the women who demand a</span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">meeting voluntary flagellation as a sign of support for the young initiate .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">This part of the ceremony is very violent and the government tends to prohibit it. Indeed , women who claim torture as a sign of courage finish with back lacerated and the consequences are sometimes disastrous &#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">That is why this time the clan decide to fast and Kolo asked me not to photograph .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">The Oukouli is an impressive ritual !</span></p>

<p>Le jeudi suivant, c’est le deuxième jour de marché à Turmi. Après dix jours en leur compagnie, je serai invité à partager la bière de sorgho et le «Tedj» (hydromel) dans une ambiance vraiment très sympathique.</p>
<p>Heuhhhh…  Qu’est ce qu’elles sont jolies les filles Hamers !</p>
<p>Parmi toutes les ethnies que j’ai eu la chance de rencontrer, ils seront ceux parmi lesquels je me serai senti le plus à l’aise et le moins jugé. C’est évident, pour eux nous ne sommes pas de la même tribu, mais nous faisons partie de la même race humaine.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">The following Thursday , the second market day in Turmi . After ten days with them , I will be invited to share sorghum beer and &nbsp;&raquo; Tedj &nbsp;&raquo; ( mead ) in a very friendly atmosphere really .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Heuhhhh &#8230; What they are pretty girls Hamers !</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Among all ethnic groups that I had the chance to meet , they will be those among whom I will have felt the most comfortable and least tried. It is clear to them we are not of the same tribe , but we are part of the same human race.</span></p>

<p>En Ethiopie, la principale religion est le christianisme orthodoxe et elle concerne la grande majorité des ethnies de la région de l’Omo. Cette religion imposant plus de 200 jours de jeûne par an (au sens de nourriture légère sans viande), les plats principaux sont végétariens. Le plus souvent ils mangent des galettes préparées avec de la farine de tef, appelées «Injera», sur lesquelles sont servis des légumes : délicieux !</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">In Ethiopia, the main religion is Orthodox Christianity , and it relates the vast majority of ethnic groups in the region of the Omo . This imposing religion over 200 fasting days per year (within the meaning of light food without meat ), the main dishes are vegetarian. Most often they eat cakes made ​​with teff flour , called &nbsp;&raquo; injera &nbsp;&raquo; , which are served on vegetables : delicious!</span></p>

<p>Arrive un autre touriste. Brian est américain et nous partirons à bord du 4&#215;4 qu’il a loué pour aller visiter une autre tribu sur les rives de la rivière Omo. Comme je disais plus haut, cette vallée regroupe la plus grande diversité ethnique d&#8217;Ethiopie et peut-être même de tout le continent Africain. Mais cette rencontre avec les «Karo» m’a laissé froid dans le dos !</p>
<p>A peine sommes-nous arrivés près du village, qu&#8217;un des membres de la tribu, se déclarant guide, nous arrive dessus.</p>
<p>«Maintenant que vous avez stationné le véhicule ici, vous devez vous acquitter d’un droit de visite de 30 USD…&nbsp;&raquo; Et il ajoute très sympathiquement «Que vous décidiez de rester ou de partir…»</p>
<p>Nous lui avons demandé comment on disait bonjour dans sa langue et avons adressé la politesse aux habitants. Ceux-ci se contenteront de répondre : «Take a picture and give me money !», tout en exhibant leur AK47.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Comes another tourist . Brian is American and we will go aboard the 4 × 4 that he rented to visit another tribe on the banks of the Omo River. As I said earlier , this valley has the largest ethnic diversity of Ethiopia and perhaps even the entire African continent. But this encounter with &nbsp;&raquo; Karo &nbsp;&raquo; gave me the shivers !</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">No sooner have we arrived near the village , a member of the tribe , declaring guide , comes over .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&nbsp;&raquo; Now that you have parked the car here , you must pay you a visitation from 30 USD &#8230; &nbsp;&raquo; And he adds very sympathetically &nbsp;&raquo; Whether you decide to stay or leave &#8230;&nbsp;&raquo;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">We asked him how to say hello in their language and have sent polite to people. They will simply answer : &nbsp;&raquo; Take a picture and give me money! &nbsp;&raquo; While showing off their AK47 .</span></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Renseignements pris, beaucoup de tours opérators organisent des visites «ethniques» dans la vallée de l’Omo. Mais côté accueil chez certains, y a encore du boulot.</p>
<p>Cela dit, si les touristes se contentent d’arriver, de payer un droit d’entrée pour faire quelques belles images et repartir dans la demi-heure… Comme pour la visite d’un zoo…</p>
<p>Faut pas s’étonner de leurs comportements…</p>
<p>Les pistes devenant de plus en plus difficiles en raison des orages quotidiens et certaines autres ethnies, comme les fameux «Mursis» dont les femmes portent des sortes d’assiettes en terre cuite dans la lèvre inférieure, étant réputées parfois agressives, je décide de me contenter de mon excellent séjour chez les Hamers.</p>
<p>En fait pour faire le tour des tribus du secteur, il faudrait prévoir plusieurs mois et prendre vraiment son temps pour chacune d’entre elles.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Information taken many tour operators organize tours &laquo;&nbsp;ethnic&nbsp;&raquo; in the Omo Valley . But home side for some, it still has work .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">However, if tourists are content to arrive to pay an entrance fee to some beautiful pictures and leave in half an hour&#8230; Like visiting a zoo &#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Is not surprising their behaviour &#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Tracks becoming increasingly difficult due to the daily storms and some other ethnic groups such as the famous &nbsp;&raquo; Mursi &nbsp;&raquo; whose women wear kinds of earthenware plates in the lower lip , being deemed aggressive sometimes , I decide satisfied with my stay enjoyable in Hamers .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">In fact for a tour of the tribes of the area , there should be several months and really take time for each of them.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Je reprends la route en direction d’Arba Minch et le lendemain j’irai faire un tour à Dorzé. Ce petit village perché à près de 2400 m d’altitude porte le nom de l’ethnie y vivant. Les Dorzés (signifiant rivière dans la langue locale) sont réputés meilleurs tisserands du pays.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">I take the road towards Arba Minch and the next day I&#8217;ll make a trip to Dorzé . This small village perched nearly 2,400 m of altitude is called ethnicity living there . The Dorze (meaning river in the local language) are deemed best weavers in the country.</span></p>

<p>Mais leurs talents ne s’arrêtent pas là. Leurs constructions ressemblant à un éléphant relèvent d’une ingénieuse architecture, et leurs poteries qui se vendent à travers toute la région sont réputées pour leur solidité.</p>
<p>Moyennant une petite rétribution, le service touristique du village propose d’aller installer sa tente dans l’une des habitations et je goûterai à la spécialité culinaire de la région : une sorte de galette réalisée avec la pate fermentée des feuilles de bananiers sans fruits. (Ouais c’est un bananier mais qui n’a pas de bananes&#8230;  Peut-être trop froid ???)</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Je m’essayerai également à la consommation du Khat (prononcer Tchat). Cette plante dont on mâche les feuilles sans les avaler autour d’un café a des effets euphorisants. Cela dit, ruminer cette plante pendant des heures, même si elle n’est quasiment cultivée qu’en Ethiopie et largement exportée dans les pays voisins, n’est pas d’un intérêt très passionnant. On va dire qu’elle a la propriété pour les personnes n’ayant pas grand-chose à faire de rendre l’ennui plus agréable… et de tuer le temps.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">I also try to consume Khat . This plant whose leaves are chewed without swallowing around a coffee euphoric effects. That said, mulling this plant for hours, even if it is hardly cultivated in Ethiopia and widely exported to neighbouring countries , is not a very exciting interest. We will say that it has the property to people who have not much to do to make trouble nicer &#8230; and kill time.</span></p>

<p>Depuis j’ai rejoint la capitale. Addis Abeba est une belle ville où la circulation est aujourd’hui rendue infernale à cause du chantier de construction d’un tramway, mais d’ici deux ans, ce sera certainement l’une des plus belles grosses agglomérations africaines.</p>
<p>Bien que je voyage depuis plus de deux ans en Afrique, je me rends compte que j’en arrive encore à avoir des préjugés. Resté bloqué sur les images médiatiques de terre désolée et de famine des années 80, j’avais une image très réductrice de ce pays. Et pourtant ! Forte d’un patrimoine historique, naturel et culturel impressionnant, l’Ethiopie est depuis une quinzaine d’années devenue une vraie destination touristique, où l’on ne cesse d’être fasciné par sa diversité.</p>
<p>Jamais colonisé et de ce fait resté hors d’atteinte des influences extérieures, ce pays considéré comme le berceau probable de l’humanité, regroupe plus de 80 peuples différents qui possèdent chacun leurs culture et langue, tout en restant liés par une culture nationale très forte.</p>
<p>Je crois bien qu’il faudrait des mois pour en faire le tour et mon agréable surprise lors de mon bref aperçu de la moitié sud du pays risque, d’après les dires, d’être largement égalée lorsque j’irai plus dans le Nord. Mais ça c’est pour le prochain épisode.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Since, I joined the capital. Addis Ababais a beautiful city where traffic is now made ​​hell because of the construction of a tramway,</span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">but within two years , it will certainly be one of the most beautiful big African cities.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Although I travel for more than two years in Africa, I realize that I still get to have prejudices. Stuck on media images of wasteland and famine 80s, I had a very simplistic image of this country. Yet ! With a great historic heritage , natural and cultural , Ethiopia</span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">is the last fifteen years has become a real tourist destination, where one ceases to be fascinated by its diversity.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Never colonized and thus remained out of reach of outside influences , the country considered the probable cradle of humanity , has more than 80 different nations , each with their culture and language, while remaining bound by a national culture very strong .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">I believe it would take months to make the turn and my pleasant surprise during my brief overview of the southern half of the country risk , according to the statements , to be largely matched when I go over in the North . But that&#8217;s for the next episode .</span></p>
