The old fortified homes were designed to protect the habitants from invasion by neighbouring tribes and the slave hunters from the Abomey Empire. The International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition is celebrated on August 23. Picture taken August 18, 2006. REUTERS/Florin Iorganda (TOGO)
