Visit of Axum (Ethiopia)
Axum was the center of the marine trading power known as the Aksumite Kingdom, which predated the earliest mentions in Roman era writings. Around AD 356, its ruler was converted to Christianity by Frumentius. Later, under the reign of Kaleb, Axum was a quasi-ally of Byzantium against the Persian Empire. The historical record is unclear, primary sources limited mainly to ancient church records.
It is believed it began a long slow decline after the 7th century due partly to Islamic groups contesting trade routes. Eventually Aksum was cut off from its principal markets in Alexandria, Byzantium and Southern Europe and its trade share was captured by Arab traders of the era. The Kingdom of Aksum was finally destroyed by Gudit, and eventually the people of Aksum were forced south and their civilization declined. As the kingdom's power declined so did the influence of the city, which is believed to have lost population in the decline similar to Rome and other cities thrust away from the flow of world events. The last known (nominal) king to reign was crowned ca. 10th century, but the kingdom's influence and power ended long before that.
Its decline in population and trade then contributed to the shift of the power center of the Ethiopian Empire so that it moved further inland and bequeathed its alternative place name (Ethiopia) to the region, and eventually, the modern state

North Ethiopia: Lalibela Saturday Market
It is amazing that some, of not most, of these people walk a minumum of 50 kilometers/31 miles to this Saturday market because there is no public transportation. (That's equivalent to running back-to-back Marathons!) They walk all day, sleep over in Lalibela, and head back to their villages the next day. You don't need Jenny Craig or WeightWatchers in Ethiopia.
This is the only venue for selling/buying animals, vegetables, grains and clothing. A vibrant way to begin three days in Lalibela.

Ethiopia - Axum Cattle Market
You can see peasants with their cattle walking over a long distance for the weekly cattle market in Axum. The often extremely skinny cows are mainly kept as property, not so much for meat or milk.

Lake Hawassa Fish Market, Hawassa City, Ethiopia
The fish market is a market along the shore of Lake Hawassa (or Awasa / Awassa)and is popular tourist attraction in Hawassa city in Ethiopia. It offers a glimpse of the local way of life, as fishermen bring to shore their fresh catch which is immediately sold to awaiting customers. There are also restaurants serving the fresh catch, in a variety of cooking styles (or served raw). There are surprisingly many hungry Marabou storks at this market.

The lower Omo valley is one of the last areas in Africa where people are living in a very traditional way. Women are often still dressed in animal skins, while men have a special clay coverage on their heads.
