The Dipri Festival is a celebration held -( by the Abidji tribe in Gomon, Côte d'Ivoire). The Abidjis - (are one of about 60 ethnic groups in the country, which became a French colony in 1893 and attained independence in 1960).
First, relatives or neighbors meet on the evening before the celebration to reconcile their differences.
Then, during the festival, people go into frenzied trances as they are possessed by sÉkÉs —beneficient spirits—and stumble, dazed, in the street. 
Some people, supposedly led by the spirits, plunge knives into their bodies and then, with the guidance of the sÉkÉs, are healed with poultices of raw eggs and herbs.
