万恶风俗非洲妇女15孩被喂鳄鱼

Buko Balguda, 45, from Duss, a Karo tribal village in southern Ethiopia's Omo Valley, is alone. The reason? Her seven sons and eight daughters were all killed at birth by village elders who decided that the children were cursed.

来自埃塞俄比亚南部奥莫山谷Karo部落达斯村庄的45岁的布科·布格达如今孤苦无依。为什么？因为她的7个儿子和8个女儿一出生就被部落长老认定受到诅咒，被全部杀死了。

'I lost five plus five plus five babies - 15 in total,' she explains. 'I had seven males and eight females. During this time, our tribal traditions were very hard. I did not respect our traditions, so they killed my children.'

“一个又一个，我一共失去了15个孩子，”她解释道，“我生过7个男孩和8个女孩。我们部落的传统非常严厉。我没有遵守我们的传统，于是他们杀了我的孩子。”

And Ms Balguda is not alone. The concept of 'mingi' or cursed children remains a tenet of tribal life for the Hamer and Bana people, with elders insisting that mingi infants are killed before they can bring the rest of the tribe bad luck.

不仅是布格达一人有此遭遇。“mingi”意为受诅咒的孩子，这一概念依然被奉为Hamer和Bana部落的信条，部落长老坚持应该在受诅咒的婴儿为部落带来厄运之前就将他们杀死。

As a result - and despite efforts by the Ethiopian government to ban the practice - cursed children are murdered every day, whether by being left alone to be eaten by hyenas, thrown to hungry crocodiles or simply starved to death in a locked hut.
