24 hours in Most dangerous Tribe in Ethiopia

Today I will show you how people live in the tribes where they believe in such a thing as cursed children. This boy is about 10 or 12, and look at the toy he made for himself to play with. It is a long stick with a bit on wheels, so he basically wheels it around. If an infant’s top teeth come in before the bottom teeth, that’s considered to be a deformity that calls for the village to literally kill the child. You will meet this amazing person, Lale Labuko. He is Ethiopia’s top and only humanitarian who has been fighting to save these poor cursed infants for years. They have to be taken from the tribes by force at a risk to one’s life.
