"Kush" of East Africa, which is today’s Ethiopia, lives a lot of descendants of the tribe of Dan and other tribes of Israel.It is still in the 20th century EC; there live a Jewish group called Falashas of Ethiopia. Their skin is black and they call themselves “bet Israel”, which means the house of Israel in Hebrew. They were transported to Israel by the airplanes chartered by the government of Israel in 1983 and 1991. Over 90% of bet Israel now live in Israel, accepted as Jews.

The famous tribes of Omo Valley (south-western Ethiopia)

Arbore
Although relatively large, Arbore is far more rustic and unaffected than many similarly size towns in south Omo, in common with their linguistically and culturally affiliated Tsemai neighbors, the Arbore migrated to their present homeland from konso perhaps two centuries ago. Because they have ancestral and cultural links to konso and the pastoralists of the the surroubding lowlands, the Arbor traditionally played an important role as middlemen in trade between the Omo River and the Konso Highlands.The town of Arbore lies in an area where several tribal boundaries coverage. And because the Arbore people routinely intermarry with other ethnic groups. It is also inhabited a substantial number of hamer and even Borena women- adding a cosmopolitan feel to the worthwhile Saturday market.

Mursi and Surma
The Mursi live between their dry & wet season range on the Tama plains, north of  Mago Park in the Omo River region of southwestern Ethiopia. They care for livestock and plant some crops.The men practice light scarification on their shoulders after killing an enemy and shave geometric patterns on their head. During dances and ceremonies they adorn literally every part of their body with white chalk paint. Young unmarried men practice group stick fights. The winner is carried on top of poles to girls waiting beside the arena, who decide among themselves which of them will ask his hand in marriage.
