Image description

Smeared with mud and his penis made numb by the cold river water, a Bukusu boy proudly faces the local "surgeon\'s" circumcision knife in Western Kenya village of Bungoma August 10, 2000. The elaborate circumcision rituals, an initiation into manhood, are traditionally held only on alternate years, but this year in an attempt to regulate the disruptions to daily life and econmic activity, tribal leaders ruled there would be two giant ceremonies -- one in August and one in December. According to figures released by a local NGO, Bungoma Professionals Association, 20,000 adolescent boys underwent the circumcision. A similar ceremony took place across the border in Uganda among the Bagisu.
