One paragraph.

A local administrator, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals, said the attack on law enforcement officers will embolden those performing the cut as they will see the government as weak and unable to protect its own.

They have an anti-FGM board, yet saying something about it puts them in danger, and they pretend they can at the same time defend the (future) victims of that shitty practice. Kenian officials need to rethink their ways because it all sounds very awkward.

Lock them up for life with no chance at parole. There is no redeeming quality in people like this.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Efforts to eradicate female genital mutilation in Kenya have suffered a setback after a police officer was killed in a confrontation with a gang of youths.

Female genital mutilation, or “the cut”, remains illegal in Kenya but is still being practised in some places, usually during school holidays, by women using crude methods and tools.

Mwebia, whose organisation has since trained nearly 500 male champions in counties where FGM exists, says men cringe when they are shown videos of the cut, a rite they traditionally believe is undertaken for their benefit.

Mwebia was attacked by another group of men in Kuria in December 2016 after he and a colleague were suspected of filming a street parade of girls undergoing the cut.

A local administrator, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals, said the attack on law enforcement officers will embolden those performing the cut as they will see the government as weak and unable to protect its own.

Bernadette Loloju, chief executive officer of the Anti-FGM Board in Kenya, said the killing was “an isolated incident beyond human thinking”, but that it should not be used to gauge the extent of the fight against the practice.
