Mamoudou said the family's background -- being strictly religious and living in a country where workers earn an average $1 a day -- has made it especially difficult for them to understand what's going on.

Their father was known locally as an Islamic scholar, Mamoudou said, and that background has made it doubly hard to relate to the world of global finance, luxury hotels and lurid allegations of sexual misconduct in which his sister has found herself embroiled.

What a difficult life especially from such a small nation where the incidence of FGM (female genital cutting ) are very extreme in the high 90 percentile , though this study from 1999 and the practice is spread across cultural & religious demographics . One hopes these practices may have started to lessen in the last decade , maybe the IMF could build them some real schools ? Wouldn't take much if you could get passed the "religious scholar's" objections allowing women this , say perhaps what we spend in Afghanistan in 2days ....or even a day .

Or the cost of running one Carrier group for a day or what
was spent preparing & carrying out the OBL operation?


" According to a 1999 Demographic and Health Survey of 6,753 women nationally, 98.6 percent of the
women of Guinea have undergone one of these FGM procedures. In Lower and Upper Guinea, girls are usually
ten to twelve years of age when they undergo the procedure. In Middle Guinea girls are four to eight years
of age. A growing number of women and men oppose the practice. Some urban educated families are beginning to
opt for a slight symbolic incision on the genitals rather then the complete procedure."
