Since the first reported cases of albino killings in November
2014, the killings have been on the rise in Malawi, turning the rural
into very unsafe harbours for albinos.
It has been discovered that albinos are the most wanted prey for
ritualists as their body parts are an essential ingredient in juju
practices. For these reason this vulnerable segment of Malawi's
population has been living in fear of death.
Amnesty international- a human rights group is calling on the
government ruling the South-African country to do something
immediately to save a recorded albino population of about 10,000 from
total annihilation.
Its not uncommon in Africa to find ritual practices that require
human body parts. And most times these rituals cold be selective in
requirements. All depending on the role the ritual sacrifice would
play.
