Warrior

Posted by Jeremie (St-Etienne - Paris, France) on 19 July 2008 in People & Portrait.

Afar man, wearing the Afari traditional dress, equipped of the traditional sword and less traditional but not less common AK-47 machine gun. I might break the spell provoked by this photograph by saying this, but I had to pay the man to take this photograph... Afar men are known for their ruthlessness and he might have not hesitated one second to use his AK-47 against me had I taken an unauthorized shot of him ! After all, you can pay back a man's life in exchange of a bunch of camels...
