The young men of each neighbourhood in Djenne meet up early in the morning to go hunting. They catch whatever moves: rabbits, snakes, a sort of big edible field rat etc. Then, in the afternoon they all parade with their catch in front of le tout Djenne, assembled on the shore. A prize is given for the best display.

This blog is a magnificent anthropological record of that part of West Africa.
Keep up the good work!
