BURUNDI-LIFESTYLE-WILDLIFE-ANIMALS-ECONOMY-SOCIETY-TRADITION
A cattle herder stands among Ankole longhorns, a breed of cattle native to Africa, in Maramvya, north of Bujumbura, on August 13, 2013, in Burundi. Men in Burundi once recited poems to their long-horned cows as they led them to pasture. Then the war decimated the cattle population and now the country is modernising its herds to boost milk yields. Burundi's whole civilisation was built around cattle. So noble were cows considered that under the monarchy the same word was used for the stomach of the king and the stomach of a cow -- quite distinct from the word used for the belly of a mere mortal.
