My #FGM TORTURE🩸
"My Genitals Were Sewn Up With Acacia Thorns (the image)!"
Malko Jama Recalls Hers:
""I was nine. A woman came to the house. They held me down and held my legs apart and she cut me with a razor and stitched me back up with acacia thorns.
She cut out the clitoris

and the inner labia and then she cut out the flesh from the outer labia and sewed up the skin that was left.
Now they have a more modern way for stitching girls back up but at the time they used thorns like pins.
She cut out the clitoris and the inner labia and then she cut out

the flesh from the outer labia and sewed up the skin that was left.
When it was finished they took a big sheet and a cord and they bound my thighs together... so that I had to stay there with my legs together. They brought me small pieces of bread but refused to allow me water or

tea. They said the body had to dry out.
I was tied up for a week and was in too much pain to move. For the first four days, I had to urinate where I laid.
After seven days, the cutter came to inspect me and said I was 'completely closed up'.
I later realised how lucky I had been

because, girls considered not to have closed up completely, get some more flesh cut out and they get sewn up again!"
