Gambela

Gambela is a hot region in eastern Ethiopia, very different from the cool highlands. Many of the different groups who live there look after cattle. Before the modern world came to the Gambela region, the forests were full of wild animals, and people used to hunt them. They still fish in the great rivers. Life is changing fast in Gambela now, but the stories still remain.
