Arbore

The ArBORE Tribes , also known as Ulde, Their name literally means: land of the bulls (Ar means bull and bore means land). is an ethnic group living in southern Ethiopia, near Lake Chew Bahir. They are from the Omotic language family and have ancestral links to the Konso People. With a total population of 6850, the Abore population is divided into just four villages, named: Gandareb, Kulaama, Murale, and Eegude. They live in hot and flat areas and are mainly cattlemen. Like for the most of other tribes of the Omo Valley, cows, goats and sheep are the main source of existence and value for Arbore. Woyto River, which is a natural border of the tribal areas, helps in agriculture and is the main source of water.
