It looks like they have a lot to learn about tactics. Finding a better way to settle a dispute, would also be good. Some great photos by a very brave photographer. I don't think I would risk an arrow through the gizzard to get them.

Fantastic shots and as one the forum members said ”at least they are not using AK47’s”

Read up about the Zulu and Masai warriors and battles. They did use set piece battles, tactics and plans. That's why they would generally annihilate all the opposition they encountered. Different ethnic groups in third world countries have been settling their disputes for hundreds of years if not thousands by the pictured method.

If you live in third world countries you will find this sort of thing is not unusual at all.

One area I lived in had pitched parang battles between two different ethnic cultures every night. The police and Army wouldn't go near these battles.
The police and Army wouldn't dare go into the interior away from the major port cities for fear of the indigenous peoples lifting their heads or zapping them with blow pipes.
Another area I worked in - Two different villages had a pitched battle - over a bicycle. The army did step in on that one.

More third world battles are fought and persons killed with parangs and machetes than AK's
