Albinos in Burundi flee killings

i heard that Africa is still living in the past in some parts they slaughter twins saying that twins are evil and are cursed but i dont know how twins are treated in these parts but Africa should educate its pepole more and wake up to the fact that albinos are just normal pepole their the same as us or me and have no magic powers their just odenry pepole that have no pigment in their bodies due to a fauly gene and they should be left alone

thise is terrible it must end these poor Albinos shouldnt be living their lies in fear lookinjg over their shopulders scared to gotosleep at night incase their killed they have enough troubles with protecting their delecate skin and eyes so dont need thise shit and the thing its being hushed up these crims im in the UK and only heard of it on a tv program on cable the world should be made aware of it more God forbid if a western Albino say from the US or UK went out their as an aid worker and if he or she was killed in that way theyd be an outcry the world should know about these crimes

Disgusting. The human mind truly IS a terrible thing to waste. Third world bullshit at the cost of yet more innocent lives.

Put Micheal Jackson in there as a rich and powerfull albino who has come from America put the curse of Hell on the witch doctors. Then stand back and watch the fireworks. Actually, it would never happen. In the real world, the African states, have, for long enough, wanted self rule without interference from the outside. Just look at the mess. At this rate, they will always be in the dark ages.

The cycle continues...the oppressed become oppressors there, the murdered now hold murderous stares, the pious damn the humble, unaware that in time we all take a tumble towards worldwide genocide, no place or palace with which to hide.

All in the name of prosperity.

Well, when we're a third-world country in a few years, I wonder if American Albinos should heading for tanning salons? We're circling the drain as a nation and as a human race.

so i found out that Tanzania and Burundi are at least top ten on some lists of third world countries.
Education is what i forgot to mention before as a problem because these witch doctors are killing on what i believe to be superstitious beliefs, not on actual scientific research. Not that it would still make it right if it could be proven, especially if it is to make people rich!

I don't know much about tanzania or other african countries but i could take a risk and say its a third world country. These people don't live in the 21st century and that is why we still hear such crazy stories happening in this world. I'll look into the countries' standings and if i'm wrong I'll get back to you.

This is crazy! My best friend is albino and I wouldn't know what to do if something like this happened to her over non sense. Every witch doctor would meet their maker for real! Now how you like them apples.

The destiny of Albinos is the same in the whole Africa. Not only in Burundi. Salif Keita, a famous songwriter from Mali, talked about albino sad condition 20 years ago. The situation has not changed.

I just saw a block of films at the Great Lakes Film Independent Festival from the Burundi Film Center. They were all brilliant. These movies were no-budget gems. Burundi has a soul, I am sure that the people of this country will rise to the occasion and stop this madness.

This is absolutely terrible. The mere fact that this is still going on today, on the planet horrifies me. I cannot find a word to accurately describe the sorrow and pain I feel for people who are victums some of the atrocities that are taken place at this very moment.

Someone needs to take the witch doctors' arms and legs and see how they like it. Before the next idiot goes out and kills another human being, you'd think he'd do the research to find out if this stupidity actually works. I can almost guarantee it doesn't.

This is heartbreaking.

This is sick!
It cost them more than an arm and leg to make someone else rich. Sounds like Wall Street to me.

This reminds me of the Edinburgh body snatchers in the 18th century! It is horrifying! I cannot believe something like this is actually still happening!

''A BBC correspondent's investigation there revealed that witchdoctors were behind the killings.''?

They sought albino body parts for potions that they claimed could make people rich?''

WHOA!!

There's just no excuse for this kind of stupid.
