Everyone loves something they can't have, even if it's a wriggling fish in the mouth.
At least that's true for the Dogon people of Mali, who restrict fishing in the sacred Lake Antogo to once a year. On the appointed day, fishermen line up to rush the lake with baskets, clearing the entire lake in moments.
In the amazing video below, watch the fishermen descend on the lake, holding the fish in baskets and even their mouths during the frenzy.
WOW!!!! Mali is one of the poorer countries in Africa and most of the lands are deserts.
Think about it: With a population of over 13,010,209, if they should fish all year round, there wouldn't be no fish at all...once a year actually make sense. That explains the big rush.
Jamaica is bless although we're consider one of the "deadliest country".
MOST OF THE POVERTY IN THESE AREAS AND LACK OF FISH IS DUE TO POLLUTION CAUSED BY OIL MINING AND RESIDUE FROM GOLD....THESE OIL COMPANIES PROMISE FRESH WATER AND PROVISIONS TO THE VILLAGES THEY DESTROY BUT EITHER NEVER DELIVER OR THE FUNDS ARE KEPT AND SHARED AMONG THE GREEDY AFRICAN LEADERS AND CHIEFS WHO THEN IN TURN LIE TO THEIR VILLAGERS
THIS IS DILEMMA IN AFRICA NOW AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE UNTIL AFRICA LEARNS TO STAND UP FOR THEIR OWN AND DEFEND THEIR RESOURCES
