Senbete(Sunday) Market
<series 3: Senbete(Sunday) Market >
Senbete is a town in the Amhara region of Ethiopia, about 2km south of Kombocha.
The Senbete market is held every Sunday and is smaller than the Bati or Kombolcha markets in the Amhara region. Instead, the market has played an important role: providing business opportunities for people living in the highlands and lowlands (various ethnic groups such as Oromo, Afar, Amhara, Gurage, Argoba) to buy and sell goods; meeting people and providing opportunities for bartering and information exchange.

Title: To Afar Triangle in Ethiopia: one of the harshest places on Earth
A new adventure has begun; to meet the harshest nature on earth; to meet the lives of Ethiopian peoples living in the harshest places.
In 1974, several hundred pieces of fossilized human bones more than 3 million years old were found near the village of Hadar, Ethiopia, and it was found to be a female skeleton of Australopithecus afarensis, and she was named "Lucy".
The broad-leaved forests that provided fruits: Lucy's main foods, had decreased drastically with the advent of the Sahara Desert and the Great Rift Valley, which began forming about 10 million years ago; it was necessary to descend to the ground and move between the trees to obtain the fruits.
The Afar Triangle, or Afar Depression(as known as the Danakil Desert), located in northeastern Ethiopia, was said to be one of the harshest places on earth and was formed by the Great Rift Valley. In the Danakil Desert, the lowest elevation is below -100m above sea level and the dry season temperature is close to 50°C; surprisingly, this is the place where the Afar peoples live, besides, this place is a region with extremely active uplift: the volcano Dallol, which has the crater in the lowest place in the world on land: the volcano Elta Are, which has a low-viscosity lava lake.
