Everyday life of Samburu warriors in their village in northern Kenya: looking after the herds, singing women, celebrating a ritual as promotion to the status of warriors. But today’s warriors sometimes happen to wear blue helmets. Some of the Samburus had joined the UN troops in Bosnia to pull apart Europeans at war. They talk about their experience: the fear, the shelling, and the money they used to build homes or to buy cattle.
