        Not the same, not even close. Men and women are anatomically different. You know that, right?

        The imperialists killed Sankara for them to report this kind of things in 21st centuary with glee and satisfaction !

        How is imperialism relevant to the practice of FGM in Africa? This is a local custom, not a European custom. Do you know how logic works?

        Why is this brutality still in our midst? Makes you ask yourself, is tradition more important than human life? Something's gotta give!

        Why bring men into the picture? Read the story, this was carried out by two women. It's an evil practice whether by male or females but let's not misrepresent facts
