Yes, for 100 years, we were supposed to invent things, be creative for essential things for survival, even be super humans such as these tribes, instead we are distracted talking about garbage things

No l dont mean copying and pasting of fake beautyfying cities while displacing communities. For instance, not only l would create and supportive and safe stilts for these tribes by modernizing, l would create tourism so they can make income by demonstrating such skill as well they can make income by teaching Ethiopians. Not only you are preserving such skills, you also make known about this skills in Ethiopia. since Derg, such talent, skills throughout Ethiopia have disappeared. We inherit ills from outside such as tribalism, instead adapting only what benefits. Domestically, should be after extensive study, identify bad cultures that harm the community and ban it while popularizing and growing good cultures and indigenous skills such as this

Those are the 85% of Ethiopia’s tribes aka citizens aka population .They are among the ones who walk bu’tt and breast naked and the ones who got horns and plates stuck in their faces which you racist are ashamed of.
Too sad, that you still don’t care to find out and ask such stupid question.
And it is sad that some of you even advocate that these backwards animalistic Ethiopians be used as cash cows from tourists to enhance the 15% greedy Ethiopians.

https://face2faceafrica.com/article/a-l ... -on-stilts
The ancient art is now usually seen at festivals, parades and street events, used largely for the fun of it. Among the Banna people of Ethiopia who live in the arid lands that lie East of the Omo River, legend has it that the men took to stilts to protect themselves from being attacked by wild animals as they walked around their region. But today, if you are to move to the area called the Lower Omo Region where the Banna usually reside, you would find that walking on stilts has largely become a fun thing mostly for young boys, making them much taller than others.
