GIRL'S CIRCUMCISSION

In some communities in Kenya, girls must be circumcised in order to be seen as women. I had a friend whose name was Angela. When we were in form one, she was told that she should be prepared for her initiation.She did not want to be circumcised but she was threatened to be cursed if at all she refuse. Angela was obidient to her parents but in her heart she was really suffering. When we went  for the December holiday, She was circumcissed. It was a painful situation as she told me but she endured it. After a year, She started having pain  at the place where she was circumcissed. It got worse and she was taken to the clinic. The nurses there gave her some pain killer and left her Angela's situation became worse and she was transfered to Kenyatta Hospital. She reached there late and we lost our dear Angela.
