Female Genital Mutilation in the Afar culture It's slowly starting to change in many clans due to outside influence and because some of the women do not care for the practice. Here are some short documentaries on the subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhHdEQrIJDQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8lV1z4zy7g |

Yinti....a famous afar love song. My favorite version (2010) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy8JhVtpOVE Music video featuring a version from a young afar man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgCngpQl7Y4 Lol @ the comments. The original version (according to the uploader...supposedly the first version was recorded in the 70s...this doesnt sound like its that old to me...but oh well.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TI4F05MPk8 |

Education of the Afar people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeEFPIMiQ1Q A music video featuring cameos of Valerie Browning from the "Afar Angel" mini documentary I posted a few posts up. It shows how young girls are being educated about child birth as well as the boys/men being educated about FGM among other things and most importantly it shows the Afar women she trained, now being the teachers for their own people. I am a bit suspicious about seeing some vaccination needles lol...but anyway, It's a neat video. I just hope Pagan_9ja doesn't see it |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Kb47X5cGTg lmao@ the white goat in the beginning Anyway, the video is about one Afar village in Djibouti. This particular village is pretty much isolated, it's like they are in the middle of nowhere. lol the kids are cute esp. how they are shy and afraid to approach the camera! basically they are just filming the area and how the people interact. it's not a documentary nor does it serve any major purpose other than to show what the people look like and how they are living. |

They even have their own flags Background The Afar Regional National State is one of the nine ethnic divisions (kililoch) of Ethiopia and is the homeland of the Afar people. It is divided into 5 administrative zones comprising 29 woreda and one special administrative area. Its current capital is Asayita and a new capital named Semera is currently under construction. Afar is in the north east of Ethiopia and borders Eritrea in the north, Djibouti in the north east, Somali State in the east, Oromiya State in the south, Amhara State and Tigray State in the west. Flag of Afar http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/et-af.html Afar National Regional State (Ethiopia) Afar is one of nine ethnic divisions of Ethiopia and is the homeland of the Afar people. The flag has a red triangle at the hoist with three horizontal stripes of blue, white and green in the fly. The regional emblem is placed in the centre of the white stripe. This design was adopted in 2012 and is a variant of the previous flag which was used (see below). This can be seen on the official web page of Afar regional government.

Official flag of the Afar Revolutionary Democratic Unity Front. Afar Liberation Front http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afar_people Following an unsuccessful rebellion led by the Afar Sultan, Alimirah Hanfadhe, the Afar Liberation Front was founded in 1975 to promote the interests of the Afar people. Sultan Hanfadhe was shortly afterwards exiled to Saudi Arabia. Ethiopia's then-ruling communist Derg regime later established the Autonomous Region of Assab (now called Aseb and located in Eritrea), although low level insurrection continued until the early 1990s. In Djibouti, a similar movement simmered throughout the 1980s, eventually culminating in the Afar Insurgency in 1991. After the fall of the Derg that same year, Sultan Hanfadhe returned from exile. In March 1993, the Afar Revolutionary Democratic Front (ARDUF) was established. It constituted a coalition of three Afar organizations: the Afar Revolutionary Democratic Unity Union (ARDUU), founded in 1991 and led by Mohamooda Gaas (or Gaaz); the Afar Ummatah Demokrasiyyoh Focca (AUDF); and the Afar Revolutionary Forces (ARF). A political party, it aims to protect Afar interests. As of 2012, the ARDUF is part of the United Ethiopian Democratic Forces (UEDF) coalition opposition party. Another version |
