Authorities in Mendi, Heiban County of Nuba Mountains reported that Female Genital Mutilation or FGM reduced.
Mendi Mayor Gamar Juru told Voice of Peace that the FGM practice declined to zero level.
He said some years back Mendi community was practicing FGM but later it discovered the exercise to be harmful to women.
Mr Juru explained that FGM was an Arabic culture which Nuba adopted ignorantly.
The Mayor said Nuba Mountains’ communities no longer practice female genital mutilation.
