Dimeka

Dimeka is the administrative center for the Hamer region. It is also a market town with a good size market, especially the livestock market.
The 1st 3 picture are in the livestock market. This is the section dealing in goats. The cattle market is nearby. The 1st picture looks across the open area where business is done. Goats are sold by the kilogram. In the 2nd picture a young goat is being weighed. The 3rd picture is a goat shipment. It could be either arriving for sale or sending out purchased goats.
The 4th picture is a group of women sitting in the shade. They are likely eating, drinking, talking and bartering. The 5th picture is a pot of natural honey directly from the hive. The last picture is typical of the rest of the market.
Aside from the livestock market, the rest of the market doesn't look busy. I'm told that is because a large portion of the people are at the livestock market. Once that market finishes, the rest will be busy.Meer informatie
