00:00My own experience was somehow traumatizing and also exciting and exhilarating because I was so young at the time and
00:09I was visiting my uncles in one of the districts and we have things, we have people in the villages
00:16who dress as masquerades.
00:19We call them Nyao and they go around the homes, the villages to collect kids who have not been circumcised
00:26or they have not been accustomed to tradition.
00:31So they take these kids, take them to the mountains, circumcise them and teach them how to be men.
00:38Traditionally, they never sold.
00:40They will just circumcise you and leave you run around until you stop bleeding, you use some banana leaves or
00:46things like that until the bleeding stops and you're okay.
00:49If you survive, you're a man.
00:51If you die, you're a weak boy.
