Linda Shen - Ethiopia Part 2 - the Tribal South, March, 2010. Warning: Some photos contain tribal nudity, may not be appropriate for children. - "Give me money." The Lower Omo Valley in Southern Ethiopia is a sad example of tourism going horribly wrong. The human aspect of interacting with locals is completely lost to commercialism. As a tourist, you are seen as a walking Birr dispensing machine, and nothing more. This picture pretty much sums up our experience in the South. Konso, Ethiopia
