Portrait of Rufo

    Arbore Tribe, Debub Omo Zone

    After the introduction of missionaries into the Omo Valley, the Arbore share a mixture of Protestant and traditional animist beliefs.

    "There is someone who created us. I don't know who he is, or where he lives. Perhaps he lives in the sky, but it doesn't matter. We get together and pray or whoever, or whatever he is."
