{UAH} A Bukusu boy stands smeared with mud in preparation for the circumcision ritual

A Bukusu boy stands smeared with mud in preparation for the circumcision ritual currently ongoing in Kenya's western region of Bungoma. The Bukusu tribe from Western Kenya has stuck to their long standing and strong tradition in the rites of passage to adulthood, through the circumcision ritual where young boys face the circumciser's knife without flinching as the foreskin of their penises is removed. According to the Bungoma County's Department of Culture, this year alone close to 9,000 adolescent boys are expected to undergo their initiation into manhood. (Noor Khamis/Reuters)
