An interesting story from BBC news revels a new type of killing in Africa, particularly in Tanzania and the surrounding areas. Supposedly there are 11 men that are being tried for the killing of albinos and the selling of their body parts for the use to witchcraft. Apparently Witchdoctors in the area are claiming that potions made with the body parts of albinos will bring luck love and business. Apparently this is nothing new because according to the artical there have been hundreds of witchdoctors and business people arrested but due to the slowness and corruption of the system, little has been done. What i found most interesting is that albinoism seems to effect more people in this region and there is extimated that 172,000 people are effected by this. I think this is one of the most ineresting and disturbing burtalities to come out Africa. It will be intresteing to see how much attention this recieves here in the US, if at all.
