I believe I can help here...I recently read a story from Kevin Sites Hot Zone web that told a story about Haitians who eat "mud pies".  The two links below give the original story, AND the blog that resulted from the overwhelming interest in it.  I hope this helps you understand a bit better.\n\nIf you read the entire blog (the second link), you'll see that there are references to Kenya and the tradition of eating "dirt".

Yes,the Ethiopians really do have the Ark of the Covenant.I saw something about it being in their possession a few years ago on the Discovery Channel & read something about it in National Geographic magazine.\n\nAs to why the Vatican doesn't have it,what I read about it & what I watched on TV about it,that wasn't even addressed.My guess is that they weren't sure about its existence,since,up until a few years ago,many people(mainly archaelogists),didn't believe that it still existed after 586 B.C.

I've been there. It is an interesting country. The official language is Amharic, but there are about 85 different languages spoken within the country. It is not unusual to need more than one interpreter to talk to someone. \n\nThe capital city is Addis Ababa. Most of the city is fairly primitive, with people living in shacks and cooking with wood or charcoal fires. The country is dangerous enough that many restaurants will search you with a metal detector before you can enter. Many stores like bookstores also will check you before you enter and as you leave. Large hotels will check under your car for bombs before you can enter and have metal detectors at the doors in most of the large hotels. Smaller hotels will not do this at all. Street vendors are very common, selling everything you can imagine, and beggars are common as well. Because of the war with Eritrea, Ethiopia has large numbers of wounded veterans that are missing limbs. It is not unusual to see people sleeping on the sidewalks at night. \n\nThere are some very luxurious hotels in Ethiopia, and the largest was built by an Arab sheik. I was told the hotel cost $180 million to build, but I cannot verify that. Here is a picture;\nhttp://www.starwoodhotels.com/luxury/search/hotel_detail.html?propertyID=149\nThis is a stark contrast to the very poor neighborhoods that surround it. The President's residence is in a compound surrounded by guards who will stop you if you try to take photographs. This is strictly forbidden. \n\nOutside of Addis, Ethiopia is a very undeveloped and wild place. Some smaller towns have hotels and modern accommodations, but many 'towns' are more like collections of dirt-floored shacks. I traveled toward Djibouti into the Great Rift Basin and spent several months near the Awash River. This area is populated by tribal people who live primarily by herding goats, cattle, and camels. They migrate as they must in order to find grass and live in small tents made of goat skins and sticks. There are several tribes in the area that are not friendly to one another. In fact, most males in this area over the age of about 12 carry an AK-47 rifle. They seldom use them as they have a hard time getting ammunition, but they do sometimes skirmish with neighboring tribes. These tribal natives also carry long knives shaped like a dagger and held in a sheath made from goatskin. \n\nThese tribal groups are Muslim, yet they follow very different customs from most Muslims. They do pray regularly and observe Ramadan. The women wear nothing above the waist, and the only way you can tell a married woman from a single woman is that she wears a small head cover. From what I observed the women do most the work taking care of the herds of animals. Other tribal groups in that area survive primarily by weaving mats from reeds and selling them to others. \n\nThe military arms are left over from the time when Ethiopia was a communist country and the Russians were supplying large numbers of arms. There are bombed out tanks still to be seen sitting along the roads. \n\nThe area where I was at in eastern Ethiopia had one school that went to 8th grade and was built by the French. The children did not have pencils and paper in any quantity and were constantly begging me for pencils. I left without any pencils or pens as I had given them all away to children who considered a mere pencil to be a wonderful present. If they do well enough in school up to 8th grade, they can go to Addis Ababa to attend high school, over 400 kilometers away. Most do not and from what I saw many children did not attend school at all.  I wanted to find a way to send school supplies to this area, but discovered it is almost impossible because there is no such thing as mail delivery in much of the country. There would be no way I could deliver a case of pencils and paper to that village without traveling back there myself. \n\nThe area has a large drug problem related to a plant called Chat that i

I'm sure you are thinking about the capital of Eritrea which is Asamara.\n\nThe State of Eritrea, or Eritrea (from the Italian form of the Greek name ΕΡΥΘΡΑΙΑ (Erythraîa; see also List of traditional Greek place names), which derives from the Greek name for the Red Sea), is a country in northeast Africa. It is bordered by Sudan in the west, Ethiopia in the south, and Djibouti in the southeast. The east and northeast of the country has an extensive coastline with the Red Sea. Having achieved independence on May 24, 1993 from Ethiopia, it is one of the youngest independent states.\n\nFor Ethiopia, the creation of Eritrea meant that Ethiopia became a landlocked country effectively losing its entire shoreline to the Red Sea. I'm sure this is what piqued your attention.\n\nEthiopia and Eritria in recent times have gone to war, possobly the tension was due to this...

www.witchvox.com\n\nYou can find a lot on this site that may help you.  I don't know if they have a listing for people in S Africa or not though.  But, I do suggest being careful announcing your religion there... some stories show they don't like that kind of thing there.

Try looking at their newspaper online or at their tourism center - they should be able to tell you.  Good luck! :)

They believe that Haile Selassie (Ras Tafari), former emperor of Ethiopia is God (Jah) incarnate. Some symbols of their religion include dreadlocks and smoking marijuana (called ganja),
