Tunisienne - with the piper
The news on 26 February 2011 for Tunisia said: 3 killed in anti-government protests, people clashed with police in central Tunis, police in civilian dress armed with sticks searched for protesters on streets, huge crowds demanded the prime minister’s resignation, and so on. These reports came after “the biggest rally since President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali fled after weeks of unrest”.
Tunisia, with just over 10.4 million population, has Libya to the southeast, where heavy fighting is going on in its capital Tripoli, where Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is trying to contain the anti-government protesters.
Human rights groups such as Amnesty International and Protection International have reported that “basic human and political rights are not respected in Tunisia. Also, it is clubbed with China for denial of free internet access to its citizens, as part of the State censorship.

Konso girl of Ethiopia
Konso girl of Ethiopia: The author of this photo says, "Konso are rather rich tribe, cos they have a lot of fields and a lot of agriculture stuff. The villages are big, organised like wood fortresses, and are ruled by traditional chiefs. before the women were all half nude with a typical white skirt, but as missionaries are very active in the area, they tend to wear Arsenal t-shirt to hide their breast..."
The Konso are an ethnic group of people in south-central Ethiopia. They numbered 250,430 of whom only 10,470 people (4.18 per cent) are urban dwellers (the 2007 Ethiopian national census). Konso society is mostly agricultural and involves the irrigation and terracing of mountain slopes. Their food crops include sorghum and corn and cash crops include cotton and coffee. Cattle, sheep and goats are reared for meat and milk. The Konso people erect wagas, which are carvings created in memory of a dead man who has killed an enemy. The statues are often arranged in groups with statues representing the man, his wives and his adversaries present.
