Oulaï. Putting a stop to infibulation – A drumbeat signals the initiation ceremony of the future Amazons: amongst the young girls subjected to this form of circumcision, the bravest will be married to the young prince. So, the day after, in front of the king and an excited crowd, two children die because of the infection; the winner gets to marry the prince but will eventually die whilst giving birth to their daughter. After listening to this story, Oulai’s grand-daughter finds out that she too is an Amazon and therefore fears the same fate as her grandmother. But her mum reassures her by telling her that she won’t let anyone practice infibulation upon her.
