"The Kwegu, also known as Muguji, are an indigenous tribe in Ethiopia's Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region, specifically inhabiting the banks of the Omo River. They are known for their hunter-gathering and agro-fishery lifestyle, and some also practice beekeeping. The Kwegu are one of the smaller tribes in the Omo Valley, living in small villages along the Mago River, sometimes mingling with the Mursi and Karo tribes." via @abrahamkinfu
