Hi David,
You mentioned the name Galla. The name Galla is supposed to be a term of
abuse of the Oromo community (which is the biggest population of Ethiopia).
There are several Oromo groups composed of several tribes. These tribes are
also composed into clans as there are the Borana, Arsi, Guji, Taluma, Konso
Afar and many others.
Visiting the Mursi (not belonging to the Oromo community), in the bush we
saw some body painted (naked) Mursi man.
So you may expect there are some tribes living naked in the deep in the
forest of the Omo and Mago area
