| Camels waiting patiently for the loads of salt blocks they have to transport. The Danakil depression ââ¬â specifically the area surrounding Lake Afdera ââ¬â is the place from which close to 100% of the salt production in Ethiopia comes. The lake yields more than 1. 3 million tons of salt annually, and around 750 officially registered salt miners work in this area. Teams of Muslim Afar and Christian Tigrayans from the Ethiopian Highlands gather daily, and ten months out of the year, they mine the salt and transport it by camel and donkey to a small town called Berahile. |
