can we say ‘ethnic group’ instead of tribe?

Afar women wear their jewelry both as a display of their wealth and as adornments of beauty, most notably on special occasions such as their wedding day.
As a result of trade, some of the jewelry worn by Afar women comes from as far away as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Pakistan, and India.
Additionally, these highly prized items are sometimes used as commodities for bartering purposes.
Djibouti’s Abdourahman Osman reacts after he competed in the men’s 50m freestlye heats swimming event at the London 2012 Olympic Games on August 2, 2012 in London.
Osman failed to qualify past the heat stage with a time of 27.25.
Djibouti’s Yasmin Hassan Farah represented her country at this year’s Olympic games in the women’s singles table tennis event.
Farah was beaten 4-0 in the preliminary round by Brasil’s Caroline Kumahara.
Contrary to popular belief, the Olympics are not just about winning. Time and time again we’ve seen athletes compete with the odds fully stacked against them, but their endurance and perseverance have been worth more than gold. Two such athletes whose spirits and sportsmanship filled crowds both at home and in the stadium with bucket loads of inspiration and were Somalia’s Zamzam Mohamed Farah and Djibouti’s Zourah Ali.
Both women competed in separate heats for the women’s 400m race. Despite each of these women coming in last, well-behind their fellow athletes, they will both be be remembered for their tenacious perseverance.

Djibouti. Lake Assal. The beach. What appears to be sand is in fact salt.
