“Uncover the Astonishing Survival Secrets of the Tribe Thriving by a Fiery Volcano!”
Another miner noted that working in the crater only provides enough money to barely survive, and nothing more. He continued, “Who would come here and set up shops when we don’t have any money to buy anything?”
Some Have Hope
However, not everyone in the community feels the same way about the circumstances as Hussien. Others have more hope and are doing everything they can to help the youth of the community.
Another village elder, Huutaa, stated, “All my children go to school. I do not want them to spend their lives in El Sod. I do not want them to be covered in salt every day, for them to be blinded by it. I do not want them to live here. When they complete their studies they will be capable of taking on the world and leaving for a better life. They will not have the same life as their father.”
Some Of Them Resist Change
Although the lives of the citizens are hard, it’s challenging for change to occur when many members of the community are resistant to advancements in technology. As a matter of fact, industrialization is almost something the whole village is against because a streamlined way to mine the salt would mean that almost everyone would lose their livelihood.
Hussien explained, “the crater would be mined more rapidly than we mine it now and many of us would lose their jobs thanks to this technology.”
