The village of Diafarabe was founded in
1818. Ever since then people have taken their animals north across the river during the
rainy season to save them from the floods. In November and December the floods recede and
the pastures dry out, and the people bring the animals back south again to graze. There
are other cattle-crossing places but Diafarabe is the most important, and cattle cross
here earlier than at other places. |
