Rift 1 (rft) n.
Geology a long narrow zone of faulting resulting from tensional stress in the earth’s crust: The rift valley

Rift 2 (rft) n.
A break in friendly relations: a rift between siblings. V. rift-ed, rift-ing, rifts I have been photographing along the Great Rift Valley for nine years.

I have travelled to Ethiopia, Uganda, Rwanda, Congo, Burundi, Kenya and Tanzania. Since I have arrived in East Africa I have tried to understand what happens here beyond the news.
