Is there a tribe in africa which place thier babies cribs in nearby trees to stop gunfire into the village?

Question

In a war zone in africa, the local people hang thier crying babies cribs on nearby trees on the outskirts of the village so as not to give thier position away to waring factions and gunman.
This way the babies learn not to cry when hungry and so condition the children to stay quite. can you tell me the name of the tribe and in what area in africa does this occur

Answer 1

Well, you can ignore copy-and-paste artist, tia_maria08, for a start!

Here is the answer you need. It is the Kaoma tribe who live a perilous existence in the war-torn Lambada province in the Republic of Mozambique.

Answer 2

Doubt it.

I can hear a crying baby outside for blocks and blocks.
In an enclosed 'house' however, you may not hear the baby cry until you are at the front door.
How do you "train" a baby not to cry? - it's a natural tendency.
In order to train the baby NOT to cry, you've got to get the baby TO cry ALOT, otherwise it won't know that it is right or wrong (and that training will surely alert bad guys from all over the country to that place to get the child to shut up!).
Babies don't have the mental capacity to be told something once, and remember it in case of an emergency.

Answer 3

A tribe, viewed historically or developmentally, consists of a social group existing before the development of, or outside of, states, though some modern theorists hold that contemporary tribes can only be understood in terms of their relationship to states.

The term is often loosely used to refer to any non-Western or indigenous society. Many anthropologists use the term to refer to societies organized largely on the basis of kinship, especially corporate descent groups (see clan and lineage).

In common modern understanding the word tribe is a social division within a traditional society consisting of a group of interlinked families or communities sharing a common culture and dialect. In the contemporary western mind the modern tribe is typically associated with a seat of traditional authority (tribal leader) with whom the representatives of external (eg state or occupying) powers interact. In tribal internal dynamic an honor plays major role.

Answer 4

I sincerely doubt any tribe would do that.
How is a baby going to "Learn not to cry"?
Do you really believe that? C'mon, get real.
