Exalted pilgrims of Sheik Hussein.
From all parts of the Horn of Africa,they are thousands to converge every year, towards the mausoleum of Sheik Hussein.In the heart of the Ethiopian highlands,a unique partition of the mysteries of faith takes place on some days, in a secret held date. To honor the memory of a soufi saint, ancient pagan faiths re-appear in a very strange mixity of Islam and Christendom.

Doha booming.
Everyone is speaking of Dubai, but who knows Doha? The capital of Qatar is booming. Constantly under construction, Doha is flirting with the inordinate madness of Dubai… all while juggling with the conservatism of its neighbor, Saudi Arabia. A shopping paradise and financial stronghold, the future megalopolis is on its way to becoming an Eldorado of culture, sport and tourism, a Silicon Valley of the Gulf, still proudly attached to its traditions. It took centuries to build the megalopoles of today. It will have taken only a few years for Doha to become a leading player. It is here that tomorrow’s world is being built.
