"White” related to goodness??



Not at all for albinos in Africa.

After decades of suffering different attacks to their integrity this month the albino population witnessed the first trial for albino assassination in which a group of men was sentenced to death penalty in Tanzania, Africa. What’s the matter?? Tanzania is estimated to be one of the countries in the continent to have the major population of albinos, thus one of the places with the highest rate of albino body parts traffic. Although born from black parents, it is normal for albinos to keep a watchful eye on bloodthirsty, ambitious and superstitious albinos’ hunters as it is protecting their skin from sunburn in Africa. Unbelievable, things turn out to be the other way round in that distant country given the fact that it is not having black skin what puts in danger a human as it has been or was the case in other parts of globe but being white…
 Albinos pursue in Africa has its roots in black magic or muti in which not only uneducated people draw on but, strikingly, high social classes as well, among them politicians pursuing to win an election!! Surely, politicians falling back on black magic to come by powerful places are not uncommon here, but the fact is that this trade in Africa is enhanced by these people who not surprisingly avoid dealing with this issue.
Although stealing dead albinos’ body parts form graves satisfy the high demand, it apparently doesn’t prove to be as powerful as chopping or ripping a leg, an arm, or any other part of the body out from an alive victim. What are they used for?? Apart from leading to “success” - whatever the matter-, albinos dismembered bodies are used by witch healers to cure diseases.
It is extremely exasperating is to reach the conclusion that this human trade as sexual slavery is taking place because a great part of society is demanding it!! It is not just some few crazy witch doctors or wicked people but also common people from different social backgrounds who are paying for it… And just as in sexual slavery, in albinos hunt “there is too much money at stake”.
I ask myself: Will human trade ever come to an end?? A future “yes” looks gloomy for me…

  1. There are some things that escape my understanding (many you'd say), and this is one of those things. If only these people relied a bit more on science. Religion is fine, but evidently there's something wrong with their beliefs.

  2. Witch healers cure diseases with albinos body parts? I wonder if people who support these practices are in fact taking revenge for centuries of oppression towards black people...

  3. I agree with Facu in the sense that we live in a really scientifically developed world, so I don't think these people really need to do this to cure others...there must be something beyond that, as Meli said. Anyway, it's impossible for me to understand the cruelty of this type of "beliefs".
