Meet the Sonjo Tribe of Tanzania

-

Between Lake Natron and the North Serengeti are the Sonjo, little known but with an impressive cultural wealth. The term Sonjo is the name given to the people by the Maasai. Group members prefer to call themselves the Batemi people. The Sonjo people speak Sonjo, a Bantu language. They refer to it as Kitemi or Gitemi. The Sonjo are known for their use of irrigation systems in agriculture. They have consequently been linked by some historians with the Engaruka complex, situated some 60 miles to the southeast. The Sonjo also maintain terraced village sites, albeit of considerably more rudimentary form than what is found at Engaruka #Tanzania  #TanzaniaUnlimited #SaturdayExpress #culturalappropriation

The United Arab Emirates’ first mission to Mars entered the orbit of the red planet on Tuesday, seven months after the Emirati-built ‘Hope Probe’ was launched. With this, the UAE has become the fifth country after the US, Russia, China, the EU, and India, to reach the Martian orbit. Relieved ground controllers at the UAE’s space station in Dubai broke into applause after the unmanned spacecraft called ‘Al-Amal’ — the Arabic word for hope executed a ‘burn’ on its braking engines to reduce speed and successfully slipped into Mars’ gravity. “What you have accomplished is an honour for you, and an honour for the nation. I want to congratulate you,” said Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed after entering the control room. The historic event was timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the unification of the UAE’s seven emirates. Hope is the UAE’s fourth space mission and first interplanetary one.
