For the Mursi and Suri/Surma tribes in Omo valley Ethiopia, donga (ritual stick fighting) is a significant and fascinating cultural practice that serves multiple purposes related to manhood, marriage, and community identity. Donga is an intense and competitive event that allows young men to prove their strength and bravery to potential brides. More important than winning, simply participating bravely in donga earns a warrior respect from his community. #mursitribe #Ethiopia #seeafrica #travelblo
