In Abyei, Sudan, why do men make cuts on their foreheads and keep them from healing?

This is mainly because of a local custom, so we will deliberately create a wound to prevent it from healing. In addition to Sudan, there are many places where this custom is like this. It is because the religious beliefs in different places are different, so the customs are different, and even some places are horrible and cruel. However, people can only accept this phenomenon because it is a custom. If it is not accepted, it will only be looked down upon by the local people and cannot survive in the local area.

Therefore, it is something they are proud of, and almost all of them have been scarred since childhood. In Sudan, scarring symbolizes courage for men and charm for women, so this has been inherited. In addition to Sudan, there are many places where there are similar customs, even more cruel, such as circumcision in Africa.

However, such an abnormal custom must be completed. If it is not completed, the local people will not be able to grasp their own existence and regard themselves as an alien existence. Therefore, this custom can also be said to be oppressing everyone in disguise, and it must be there. But from another perspective, customs are formed according to local conditions, so from a certain perspective, they are actually protecting everyone.

However, I still think that the customs in Sudan and South Africa are horrible except abnormal, but the locals still have to do such things. After all, customs are to be passed down. But the harm to the human body is really too great, but besides, there is no way to solve it now, so I am glad that I was born in China and I don't have to bear such pain and oppression.
