Thank you Slice, from Ontario, Canada. My father's grandmother is Borana peoples. Her name was Dinta Abdi, her mother's name was Halaka Liibaan. These peoples are cushitics, similarly Oromos, Somalis, Rendinle, Afar peoples, however the Oromos and Borana are cousins their languages are very close. It is amazing to watch a united communities fulfilling their daily life activities. Commonly they regard their obstacles the worst! But free from depression and other mental illnesses many suffer from in other developed countries. East Africans, there are so many Cushitics available in Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Somalia, whom linguistically and culturally close to each other. I felt emotional for watching this documentary without traveling one step. Thanks again. May Allah bless people of Borana.
It's sad that Millions of poor humans are suffering droughts caused by the Global Warming. The developed nations who caused this Misery because of their Emission of Carbon to Global Environment must help these nations in Africa, Asia getting water and food. They were not generous during Cairo Meeting inorder to help drought stricken Regions of the World.
The ratio of earth to water on earth is 29% to 71%. Every continent is surrounded by water. With all the money in this world, that we can’t or won’t run piping and water collection infrastructure and purifying systems from the lakes and oceans into every part of the world is sad. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Its sad and indeed criminal ,how real lasting investments are not carried out ,allowing millions to suffer and die , unnecessarily, or maybe thought to be by,a small minority?!@#

@@James-kv6kb Europeans destroyed the planet, most people were living a simple life until the evil doers came brought hyper capitalism and greed, this was after they killed each other in Europe for ages.
@NAEC-ms7tw No my father grandfather and great great grandfather were carnival operators not colonialists . As for your rant about carbon emissions I am extremely aware of the environment living in Australia I will happily abuse people that buy toys from China when they're adults because that is killing the planet, when I moved into my property in remote South Australia there was not a single Blade of grass or anything growing back or front which I changed. I've planted fruit trees lawns put in veggie gardens built a green house so that I didn't have to buy food that come from the other side of Australia overseas and I've also put in solar panels so I have no carbon footprint other than my car which is just passed at the inspection so the emissions are low. But also Australia has taken in a lot of African people and the people that lived here we're worse off because of that we end up homeless because the government gave all these people cheap housing but not the people that were actually in need that were already living here . Now I am 52 in a week, and I remember seeing ads back in the 70s all the way through till now of World vision saying send more money to these people and all these bulshit ,they need to look after themselves and stop asking for handouts . Now I hope this is a good lesson in actually finding out who you're speaking to before you start shooting your mouth off.

Great job to the production team for showing resilience, adaptability, resourcefulness, togetherness, and respect for customs and water rights of my people. God bless!
Leave it to the Borana to stay calm under immense pressure. The egalitarian foundations of their societal paradigm along with their history of a social organization using the Gadaa System have enabled these noble people to maintain communal law and order over a fundamental (and now scarce) resource among both themselves and their neighbours. I would be surprised to see any other horizontal society could act so swiftly in the face of great danger due to a lack of a vital resource such as water. Imagine the civil unrest that occurs with the scarcity of fuel or energy in the West, let alone water or food.

These people are very resilient and knowledgeable how to take care of the land, their livestock and each other. The problem is the selfishness and greed of politicians and so called educated who want a lavish house and luxurious life. The desertification is getting worse every year taking away the already small resources available to locals. The city people want charcoal to cook; therefore poor herders cut down trees to meet the demand while making some cash. Trees take years to mature in arid climate. Government should have come up with sustainable solutions such as solar energy to pump the water up from those wells. Livestock management should have been taught so that people didn’t keep too many cattle. This will help with overgrazing.
I hope they can somehow stop overgrazing and realize that the bushes that are growing there could potentially help to build up the soil (humus and soil live like bacteria and fungi). This would allow the rain to penetrate the earth more easily as well as keeping the moisture in the soil longer before it evaporates. Also let the grasses grow higher so that it can build a stronger root system and become more drought resistant. Keep grazing time in any one spot short so that the grass has leaves left and can regrow faster. I know that all of that is easier said then done.
Life seems a lottery . Even when all your ideas are realised it would mean more people would prosper for a short while in an arid region, which eventual won't be able to support the increased population , which would cause tribal warfare about scarce resources. Some places on this planet can support a finite amount of people and livestock. The fact there are actually people living there under such circumstances seems already a miracle. Many of us who flush away a mere pee with three litres of perfectly good drinking water should count our blessings and not take them for granted.
Watching this while running a bath and washing machine spinning, ,now feeling sad for these people, how we take things for granted,wish i could help them 😢
Jesus and allah destroyed our people. When our people practiced our spiritual way, every body was a family..no shortage of water, no hunger..just pure happiness..now look majority live in misery the rest lies and deceptive

This is the most amazing documentary I ever seen for a while!

Shame on you! what a shame as a leader of a country and as a citizen we can do better to change our most vulnerable people of Boran! Why he is investing money on his office and parks in Addis Abeba..!? What comes first..!? I don’t understand African so called “Leaders!” Get out off capital city and look for citizens who deserve basic needs! I’m so sorry to see what they are suffering through on day to day life.😭😭😭💔💔💔🖤🖤🖤 why this is so difficult to get basic needs like water..!? What is happening in this world..!? Anyway I’m so emotional to witness this! I know it has been for so long but I just see it today and my heart is aching! Come on Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed you can do better!!😭🙌🏽💔🖤🙏🏽 water ..!? Even the innocent children and animals..!! Why why…!? Any way, God is great they got rain for now! What about after 2/3 years later..!? You went the circle to keep going on..!? Come now..!?
It will be Great social work if someone or a company can install solar machine and system for them on the wells to exectract the water in pipes for Animals. The labor work is really tired one on daily basis. Sad to see...May God bless them with any facility soon. The slice team should help them if they can. I will be thankful to them.
Less than a 100 kms north of where the documentary is made sits Lakes Abbay and Shelu. 200 kms west Ommo river and Gibe dams empty on Lake Rudolf/Kenya.
Could they possibly widen the holes slightly to get a straight line and install a screw shape device that they can turn on the water troth level and bring water up to the surface that way? They would be able to get more water to the surface with less danger to the men and by completing the watering faster they will be able to stop a good amount of frustration with the herders
❤so I live in America 🇺🇸 but we pay for water 💧 or so people get free water 😮but to see that in this world 🌍 people are still waiting for water we don’t understand that but I see ur country still growing amen 🙏 to u all 2024 ❤❤
I Noticed a person chopping and cutting brush was that a boma they were creating if so why exactly is it just protection or does it serve another purpose?
and in Africa if you go there to help them, they think you are fool and everybody will try to take advantages of your kindness and they will never stop to betray you for anything , but still I do love to help
The documentary is from around 2008. Recently a severe drought hit the Borena people which leads to the death of livestock and humans while the Oromo politicians, the ethnic group the Borena belongs to, are busy of cleansing and displacing Amhara people who live in the Oromia region.
Thank you SLICE. Government had tried to deniesthe drought at the first time , now strugle from the people made it to accept.No rain since 5 years. Look at it EGYPT. Still you strugle us not to use Nile river to drink.
This video is old, at least by 15 years . Why are you releasing it again?; The Borena region is affected by drought gain; is that why? Please update your documentary .
I see people repeatedly mentioning pumps... beyond the issue related to having acces to petrol, parts, maintenance, having extensively worked in Borana to respond to the drought with an NGO, I often also personally considers the risk that could come with extensive exploitation of these very unstable wells. A pump could overexploit the wells and it would also translate in many more groups coming to the wells competing for the overexploited and overcrowded wells. A more stable solution might be that of building reservoir dams and diverting nearby rivers.
Over a million cattle have died because of drought in Oromiyaa alone. Lots of people also have lost their lives. Because of inflation people can’t afford to buy food and necessities. People are dying of starvation and yet the government is collecting wheat from farmers and exports to Kenya. what kind of government would let his own people starve to death and export?? wheat from Ukrain came to Ethiopia first because the need is severe.
This can be solved by stopping war in the country which is created by the Western to accmplish there selfishness interest & didn't care for poor mother & children .That is going on in all African countries which they colonized & did nothing did for them except exploiting there natural mineral almost for free.
Ethiopia has been getting donations every year since before I was born , I am now 62 years old what have they done with all that money they did not sink any wells I think its high time to stop donations they are just laughing at us
i'm sure that use of composts to retain water for the plants and land regulations like seasonal or monthly rotation could help immensely with grazing gotta make sure those soils are less dusty and have more food for the plants so livestock can be happy and healthy, as for water some roofing to keep the temperature down so less is evaporated and perhaps show them how rope and pulley systems work or archenemies screws or other principles that could be incorporated into their unique style of living. certainly looks like a whole lotta effort.

This would allow the rain to penetrate the earth more easily as well as keeping the moisture in the soil longer before it evaporates.
Also let the grasses grow higher so that it can build a stronger root system and become more drought resistant. Keep grazing time in any one spot short so that the grass has leaves left and can regrow faster.
I know that all of that is easier said then done.
Life seems a lottery . Even when all your ideas are realised it would mean more people would prosper for a short while in an arid region, which eventual won't be able to support the increased population , which would cause tribal warfare about scarce resources.
Some places on this planet can support a finite amount of people and livestock.
The fact there are actually people living there under such circumstances seems already a miracle.
Many of us who flush away a mere pee with three litres of perfectly good drinking water should count our blessings and not take them for granted.
Sad but is true all people suffer for water like this country im happy im born in philipines god help this people every day amen
Philipines has rising water levels affecting livelihood of millions
Watching this while running a bath and washing machine spinning, ,now feeling sad for these people, how we take things for granted,wish i could help them 😢
They are in kenya too i didn’t know they're in Ethiopia as well...with their dark skin colour and beautiful facial features...beautiful people.
They are orgionally from Kenya. Oromos invaded Ethiopia in the late 1500's.
Music 8 minutes in was combining millennia n continents. Bravo
This is eye opening documentary on direst land for access the water really they have my salute how they survive
No more trees this is
why no rainfall.
Haarp geoengineering with ill intentions?!@#
Jesus is the answer my brother pray always he hear prayers godbless u...
🙄at war point you ppl don’t stop with your false preaching, it needs fundamental change or intervention.
Jesus and allah destroyed our people. When our people practiced our spiritual way, every body was a family..no shortage of water, no hunger..just pure happiness..now look majority live in misery the rest lies and deceptive
Thanks for this
What a beautiful documentary! Thank you.
Imagine living there. These ppl are much more resilient than me. Imagine what they would do if they lived in a modern society?!
Ethiopians woman 🇪🇹 has become my dream Since I was 18 till now. Their's something unique about them including their natural beauty.........still wish myself.
In this country a drop of rain
Is treasure
God look after these animals they are skin and bone and work hard!
When they are bailing water out of the well it sounds like they are singing "water..water.."
Laura wrzeski....don't be stupid
They are singing water! Water! Water!
Prayers,Ethiopiaaneeds survival water tools in case and ice from antartica for water wells and man made lakes.
Wonderful documentary vedio, but very sad at d pathetic condition of these people animals n cattle. Without water it sure is difficult, water is life for survival. God bless these people n their families n children
Without water? So what water were we seeing 🤔
What's amazes me it's the animals that obeys and stay in oder
This is the most amazing documentary I ever seen for a while! I’m heartbroken when I see my people struggling with basic needs!😭💔🖤
Our prime minister is living in a glass wall he can’t even hearing what is happening in Boran, Ethiopia! Wow ! Shame on you!
what a shame as a leader of a country and as a citizen we can do better to change our most vulnerable people of Boran!
Why he is investing money on his office and parks in Addis Abeba..!? What comes first..!? I don’t understand African so called “Leaders!” Get out off capital city and look for citizens who deserve basic needs! I’m so sorry to see what they are suffering through on day to day life.😭😭😭💔💔💔🖤🖤🖤
why this is so difficult to get basic needs like water..!? What is happening in this world..!?
Anyway I’m so emotional to witness this! I know it has been for so long but I just see it today and my heart is aching! Come on Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed you can do better!!😭🙌🏽💔🖤🙏🏽 water ..!? Even the innocent children and animals..!! Why why…!? Any way, God is great they got rain for now! What about after 2/3 years later..!? You went the circle to keep going on..!? Come now..!?
It will be Great social work if someone or a company can install solar machine and system for them on the wells to exectract the water in pipes for Animals. The labor work is really tired one on daily basis. Sad to see...May God bless them with any facility soon. The slice team should help them if they can. I will be thankful to them.
Less than a 100 kms north of where the documentary is made sits Lakes Abbay and Shelu. 200 kms west Ommo river and Gibe dams empty on Lake Rudolf/Kenya.
Could they possibly widen the holes slightly to get a straight line and install a screw shape device that they can turn on the water troth level and bring water up to the surface that way? They would be able to get more water to the surface with less danger to the men and by completing the watering faster they will be able to stop a good amount of frustration with the herders
❤so I live in America 🇺🇸 but we pay for water 💧 or so people get free water 😮but to see that in this world 🌍 people are still waiting for water we don’t understand that but I see ur country still growing amen 🙏 to u all 2024 ❤❤
I Noticed a person chopping and cutting brush was that a boma they were creating if so why exactly is it just protection or does it serve another purpose?
Near the end as the rain was about to start? Looks like he was making a little brush fence to reduce the soil washing away.
Splendid. Thank you very much.
If I had 1 billion dollars, I would only take 1 million for myself and donate the rest to buy food for poor people around the world.
That why you and me are poor by all means…
Communities in Northern Kenya
and in Africa if you go there to help them, they think you are fool and everybody will try to take advantages of your kindness and they will never stop to betray you for anything , but still I do love to help
The documentary is from around 2008. Recently a severe drought hit the Borena people which leads to the death of livestock and humans while the Oromo politicians, the ethnic group the Borena belongs to, are busy of cleansing and displacing Amhara people who live in the Oromia region.
Corruption, lies, deception all comes from so called " Amharas" militias when they arrived Oromo land. You thought them these dogs.
I wonder what the men who are working the buckets get in return??
More almighty God 🙏🔥 overall good hopefully mercy shall be ever faithful may the grace of god help be strong
Same Family...Thanks José
Thank you SLICE. Government had tried to deniesthe drought at the first time , now strugle from the people made it to accept.No rain since 5 years. Look at it EGYPT. Still you strugle us not to use Nile river to drink.
This video is old, at least by 15 years . Why are you releasing it again?; The Borena region is affected by drought gain; is that why? Please update your documentary .
Chilling, we waste water every day like granted, lesson to learn
Pastoralism as a lifeway is almost over. I think the pastoralists mostly realize this. Unfortunately they lack options.
Pastoralist life is very tough, I don’t why people still choose , this tribe is my ethnic they r one of the last semi nomads left.
So nice🇧🇩🇧🇩
The Government is accountable!😢😢
Those who polluted the Environment of the only habitable Planet must pay the Suffering caused to these poor Humans.
I see people repeatedly mentioning pumps... beyond the issue related to having acces to petrol, parts, maintenance, having extensively worked in Borana to respond to the drought with an NGO, I often also personally considers the risk that could come with extensive exploitation of these very unstable wells. A pump could overexploit the wells and it would also translate in many more groups coming to the wells competing for the overexploited and overcrowded wells. A more stable solution might be that of building reservoir dams and diverting nearby rivers.
Over a million cattle have died because of drought in Oromiyaa alone. Lots of people also have lost their lives. Because of inflation people can’t afford to buy food and necessities. People are dying of starvation and yet the government is collecting wheat from farmers and exports to Kenya. what kind of government would let his own people starve to death and export??
wheat from Ukrain came to Ethiopia first because the need is severe.
This can be solved by stopping war in the country which is created by the Western to accmplish there selfishness interest & didn't care for poor mother & children .That is going on in all African countries which they colonized & did nothing did for them except exploiting there natural mineral almost for free.
MAY THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY COME TO THEM AND VISIT THEM AND HELP THEM, PROVIDE THEM EVERYTHING 😔🙏🙏🙏🙏
IN JESUS NAME
AMEN
Ethiopia has been getting donations every year since before I was born , I am now 62 years old what have they done with all that money they did not sink any wells I think its high time to stop donations they are just laughing at us
Ask tigre leaders
Tigre people only govern 27 years. The men said he's 65. I am from Eritrea I know this. Ethiopia has been in food aid for all their lives.
how deep is the well?
16:27
Here in Ethiopia water 💦 is more valuable than gold or anything. pls Jesus do something I pray amen 🙏🥲
i'm sure that use of composts to retain water for the plants and land regulations like seasonal or monthly rotation could help immensely with grazing gotta make sure those soils are less dusty and have more food for the plants so livestock can be happy and healthy, as for water some roofing to keep the temperature down so less is evaporated and perhaps show them how rope and pulley systems work or archenemies screws or other principles that could be incorporated into their unique style of living. certainly looks like a whole lotta effort.
