Sacred circumcision ritual in remote corner of Uganda open to public scrutiny for the first time

The ritual circumcision of thousands of boys, known as Imbalu, is underway in a remote corner of Uganda. This year, the local king has opened the festivities to the public, a decision that has raised eyebrows among many of the Bamasaaba, an ethnic group of 4 million. They question whether the ritual should become a carnival and believe it should remain a sacred ceremony in which families quietly prepare their sons to face the blade with courage.
