There have been numerous killing and mutilation of Albinos in Tanzania and in other countries. In the past year and a half, about 50 albinos have been mutilated in Tanzania. It has been reported that these brutal killings are been done for juju money (Spiritual money) as their body parts are
sold for witchdoctors to make potions which will make people wealthy. Apparently, there is a belief that Albinos have magical power to make people rich.
Deze brute activiteit niet alleen gedaan in Tanzania, it has been noticed in other countries such as Burundi where a 6 year old albino was killed last month totaling the 8th in the Country.
“People should feel free to name those who are behind these barbaric killings and other criminal acts within their localities”said President Jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania asking citizens to come out and name culprits.
Actions are being taken however, we also have to do our part to create awareness and educate each other about Albinism.
Albinos do not possess any power to make you rich, culturally misunderstood.
We are all one family.
