Interesting. It appears as the Ethiopian version is much more violent.

It looks like it was led by a group called SYL2. It looks like they are quite the active group. Anyone have any info about them?

Lol you got there before I did. I wanted to post a similar video of naked tribes and then ask whether this was Afgooye:o

I actually went to afgooye and witnessed this event a few years before it was banned, very underwhelming. or stories I heard before I went were exaggerated

 

 

on the otherhand the baxaar (crocodile whisperer ?) put on an entertaining show.

The sixir on display that day scared the !@#$% out of me, especially the baxaar's wife .. made me doubt my eyes and what I was witnessing
