Hibo's Song - 55 minute documentary - trailer

For downloads and more information, visit: http://www.journeyman.tv/59099/documentaries/hibos-song.html

Far out in the African bush a 4000-year-old ritual takes place. Often in non-sterile conditions, using the simplest tools of broken glass or razors, and without anaesthetic, young girls have their genitals cut off and sewn up. Female circumcision is practised in about 30 African countries. Somalian singer Hibo, circumcised as a child, sings about the pain of African women and through their words we hear how their lives have been affected by their grandmothers' choices.

This is pretty sick. Some traditions really need to die.

[john99magee]

Thank you for posting this. More people need to know and realize the attrocities that happen in other countries that maybe we all need to contribute to help change their circumstances.

they aren't somali

It's funny how Countries try to end FGM still allow Male Genital Mutilation.

WHAT FUCKING MORAL HIGH GROUND DO YOU HAVE TO STAND ON WHEN YOU SAY FGM IS WRONG WHEN YOU COMMIT MALE GENITAL MUTILATION?

[TheHorsenation]

mutilating your dicks or vaginas is retarded.

[atynusia]

For me it impossible that sth like that is practice in 21cen. It should be stop. Hibo sing it louder!

[SatanicCod]

So, you are putting sex with animals and female mutilation at the same level? Wow, wonderful. You also seems to forget the Arabs who have right to screw their own cattle, as written in the Qur'an.

As far as the "5% of Africa" goes, I have serious questions about this. What are the sources? Can you post real numbers?

[RuellAuled]

i meant to say sex WITH animals

[RuellAuled]

first of all, it is not in ALL of African that this is happening, it is only happening in less than 5% of Africa.

There may not be constitutions for cannibalism but there are constitutions for Americans and Europians who like to have sex animals, pigs, horses, dogs, etc. isn't that beastiality? what do you call that? Savagery?

[SatanicCod]

--ust like white Americans and Europeans who kill and eat people--

I missed that part, can you point me toward the cultural institution linked to this? As far as your comment about going postal, it is not an institution like female mutilation. The responsible of those atrocities are arrested in the U.S. and Europe.

On the other side, female mutilation is glorious in Africa. There's a term for this; Savagery.

[RuellAuled]

yeah, just like white Americans and Europeans who kill and eat people, put their children in a basement and dont feed them, loose a job and shoot everyone at work, in the middle of the "civilized" western societies, right?

[miszy02]
