Ethiopia’s Omo Valley | Africa’s Last Frontier, National Geographic Magazine: Karo village called Duss on the Banks of the Omo, Ethiopia

This is a Karo village called Duss. Some say Duss is made of dust. The winds come downriver and take the powdered dust deposited earlier by the Omo as silt and kick it up in the air. This dust has the consistency of drywall powder.  The smoke in the background is not a controlled agricultural burn like many cultures practice. It is an uncontrolled burn. These tribes just start a fire and hope it goes the right way to clear a field. They often end up burning down their own huts.
