The story of mission to the Konkomba of Northern Ghana The Konkomba are largely undisturbed by the modern world - a foreigner is someone from a village five miles away, there are only six days in a week, and no such thing as a year, polygamy is a virtue, and marriage may be based on swapping your sister for your bride. Here, the most powerful people in the villages are not tribal chiefs but witchdoctors, who have practised their art for centuries. The forest is a place held sacred for generations ? where to be afraid is good for your chances of survival. Although Ghana is considered one of the success stories of West Africa, Ronaldo and Rossana Lidorio did not go to the developed south but to the north of Ghana - where in addition to formidable cultural and language barriers, tribal warfare and human sacrifice still occur. Would you be unafraid of the sacred forest?
