Photo by @randyolson | words by @neilshea13 — A few years later George W. Bush would come to this place. After he left office. For vacation. Several black helicopters thumping over the desert. He stayed two days. Camped where we camped, met people we had known. Along the Omo he was admired. People thought him strong and wished him well. Not many Muslims in that low country. Of course, his arrival meant he knew. The river world was ending and he wanted to see it. Strange to think of him resting in the evenings on the high bank where we caught catfish and killed them with a shovel. Where each morning the green monkeys pissed on our tents and once, while I stood under the bucket shower, army ants crawled up my legs and on signal started biting everything. I ran out from the greasy stream naked and cursing, white boy on fire, covered in welts big as quarters. Bet that didn’t happen to W. Truth is, I’d love to know how he saw it. Who he spoke to. If he painted and what. Did he even bring his oils, his easel, his wife? No one down there would’ve asked him any tough questions. They would’ve been generous, curious. Maybe they heard he owned a ranch. Maybe they heard he owned cattle. He might’ve talked about that. Everyone would have circled in to listen. They’d have asked How many head do you have? Of what kind and color? And when the president had finished his accounting no doubt someone in back would’ve laughed and said That’s nothing! Tell us about your wives!

For the last six years, Randy Olson and I have been documenting culture, change, and conflict in the watershed that connects southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya. In the August issue of @ナショナルジオグラフィック magazine we’ll publish the latest in our series, #NGwatershedstories. Join us at @randyolson and @neilshea13 as we follow water through the desert.
