In the past 18 months, at least 25 Albinos, including children, have been mutilated and murdered in Tanzania. Authorities say witch doctors appear to be linked to the killings. Albinism is especially prevalent in Africa, where it is estimated to affect as many as one in a thousand people. It occurs when the genes don't produce enough portions of a pigment known as melanin, meaning the skin is extremely pale. Yvonne Ndege reports from Tanzania.

Whilst I don't incite violence, I urge all families and people with albinism in Tanzania to protect themselves by any means and fucking kill at will. This is coming from a proud father with a child who has albinism!

Albinism exists in every human race, in every country, every animal from an antelope to a zebra, from plants, to fruits and veg. A few righteous hero's in the bible had albinism but we today do not know these facts.

This bad portrayal of Tanzania does not represent the true beauty of the Tanzanian people. This is coming from a Nigerian, the scriptures describes these people in Deuteronomy 19:9-12 and Isaiah 56:11. They will all suffer at the hands of 1 albino in the name of justice!

Ignorance is a Disease, Education is the Cure! Whilst the world is celebrating a historic moment with our 1st ever black President, this has no significance to the albino society. You have our support and you are not alone in this battle for survival!

while i hate stale, modern society, and i hate making every country just like every other country......there really is something to be said about knowledge about the world. to prevent things like this. but people will be people, i suppose...

russians just kill inferior monkeys, but inferior monkeys kill themselves over witchcraft

Sad, just sad. I was born & raised in Tanzania, and now live in the U.S. I hate listening to stories like this about my homeland. True Tanzanians aren't evil, but some regular men are. Fucking savages.
