CFCfan: The Kru people look nice

yup they do
i am doin some research on them, cuz according to some sources, they are related to the ijaws and the bassa from other nations
so i am curious to know more

Sybellah: @ black kenichi, from the kru thread, did u learn something valuable? do u think it needs some improvement? i know u cant comment here, so please reply to me on the other section

I think you should write more info on individual Kru speaking speaking Ethnic Groups.

I've learnt that:
Kru speaking women have bodies that can re-shape the way hourglasses are made.
They are beautiful yet they can have a "masculine" vibe about them.

Kru speaking men have model potential! Many of them have a combination of masculine and feminine facial features that model scouts look for!

It's been mentioned that Kru speakers are great dancers and love to dance. This is probably one of the reasons (apart from genetics) why they are said to have great bodies (both men and women)!
Dancing (most forms of it) is a great way to stay in shape and for women a great way to get a slim, shapely waist!

aaah Nice!
I will be looking for more info to post, with them it's quite difficult to find sources unlike with the Akan but i ll try, i found some but in french
i will google translate them in english later on
Kru people are fine, and the Bhete men are DIMES!
what u said about the dancing is true , cuz we say that too back home. They usually have great calves as well, we think the dancing and their locations (cuz some live in upper altitude) contributed to their physical shapes.

Look at dancers in general. They mostly have great legs (especially female dancers ) and sculpted bodies! I didn't know that the Kru speaking groups live in high altitude areas.

They live in the western part of CIV, it's a mountainous region ,
as u go north in the western region the altitude increase, also the forest there is very dense. Notice that they are generally more brown in shade than the akan and other groups. I posted some pics about the natural environment recently in the beauty thread, that is their environment with the Dan/Yacouba people.
The Dan are south mande tho, they are not krus, but they have many similarities in their cultures (masks, dances, ceremonies...)

tres beau pays j'ador

quels sont les plats traditionnel kru

peut tu developpé un peu sur les krumen, bete, krahn.....

9ja-m:

quel difference/similitude avec les kru des pays voisins
peut tu developpé un peu sur les krumen, bete, krahn.....

ummh let me think...
le riz est la nourriture de base des Bete, et l'un des stereotypes est qu'ils en rafolent quand accompagne de sauce graine
il y a aussi le kpleba chez les Gueres/We

concernant les difference, les krou faisant frontiere avec les akan ont ete un tant soit peu influance par leur culture matrilineaire. Les Bete de Gagnoa par example ont une culture qui se rapproche plus des akan compares aux autre Bhete, aussi les Dida ont des alliance ethniques avec certains akan such as les Akye

9ja-m, Je veux bien poster les info, mais les docs se font rares
je cherche tjrs

The natural environment pics of Western and Southwestern CIV look really beautiful.
They would make great tourist destinations. No wonder the Kru were so protective of Western and Southwestern CIV!

Before the 200os, it used to receive a lot of tourists, but it has change due to the socio-political situation, some places there are now too dangerous.

I see. The french puppet president is still terrorising the Kru. It's a shame though. Western CIV looks so beautiful.

Yea it is a shame
