Since fire-arms spilled over from the Sudanese civil war, the area is dreaded even by the Ethiopian military. The favorite sport is donga: stick-fighting, which isn't ritualistic but often causes serious wounds, occasionally even a fatality, and yet is engaged without any protective armor, in fact even the fighters continue to be dressed extremely scanty, naked buttocks and/or genitals are often shown, adding to the sport's attraction as a way for bachelors to flaunt their virility. Bruce insists and ultimately gets permission to train for this highly unsafe test of manhood. Written by KGF Vissers See less
