BBC Radio 4 'From Our Own Correspondent': Ethiopia's futurologists

from Nicola Kelly · host Featurettes

Among the Borena tribe in southern Ethiopia, there are three methods for predicting the future. Communities believe that village elders have the rare ability to read goat's intestines, the stars and the leaves to determine when disease, famine and war will occur. In Yabelo, I met Dalacha Dabasa, Doyo Huka and Sanou, three village elders known throughout Ethiopia for their accurate predictions.
