أنا والبعاتى .. وجهاً لوجه!

Quote: Rainy season turns low Savannah in one of the most beautiful and picturesque scenery in Africa. Baggara have beautiful poems and sayings praising their way of life and rainy season such as: “Which is better: is it a sound of a young calf among flowering acacia trees or sound of donkey inside a village quarter”. For Baggara, it is no brainer that flowering plants are beautiful than a village quarter, and so it does a sound of a calf among the flowering plant than a donkey sound in the village – Baggara are passionate cattle herders. During the rainy season, Baggara go about their daily life with an air of pride. The gentlemen always dress in their Arabian princes’ lofty costumes, others in their gladiator’s dress. Women carry varieties of silver and golden rings, nostrils, necklaces, sliver crowns and beautiful clothing and accessories. They enjoy admiring themselves with dense masker makeup, lips dying, hair braiding and styling - with a mixed cream of perfumes, herbs, sandalwood and others. The youth become more enthusiastic about festivities, dancing and socializing. During this time of the year, Baggara do nothing but rhetorical carnivals and festivities. Like Latin Americans during world mondial or Mexican carnivals, Baggara stay upbeat and fully immersed in festivities: dancing and wrestling. Baggara life cannot be any better than during the rainy season. It is an ultimate happiness fueled by relief from tumultuous summer and dragging movement to their rainy season grazing land. With such outpouring emotional ceremonies, Baggara, in essence, are relieving themselves from spillover of rough times and peeking ahead to another long dry summer or may just enjoying the occasion. Baggara's life is a life inseparable from the ecosystem in which it exists. Whether heaven throws to them whether rains or dust, their life shaped and fashioned accordingly. In the Baggara land, climate has the ultimate command in every sense of their life: their marriage, wedding, festivals, rituals, schooling, including their own existence.
