September 1959 - Gods Of War - As in days of old, a warrior leaps high with a length of rope meant for strange tribesmen who cross his path. Krobos pay homage to their Gods Of War. Every year both the Yilo and Manya Krobos of Ghana hold festivals to re-dedicate themselves to their war gods. The ceremony dates back to the days when the Krobos had to defend themselves against tribes which invaded their land. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
