Tanzania -- In a spate of gruesome incidents over the past few months, albinos have been kidnapped, killed and dismembered for witch doctors who use their limbs and organs to make lucky charms.
The latest victim was a 10-year-old girl, who was murdered and mutilated late last month. At least 27 albinos, mostly women and children, have been killed in different parts of the east African country over the past year alone.
"It is utterly stupid for some people to believe that albinos have magic powers and their parts can make them rich," Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete told a recent rally by the Tanzania Albino Society (TAS)."People should be provided with education to understand that it is only through hard working that they can prosper in life and not through selling albinos' body parts."
