Albinos in Tanzania hunted for witchcraft
I thought it was phenomenal that in a town in Tanzania lots of Albinos in the community. According to the news it is caused by a substance in the fish that these people eat. But that is not what I am focusing this blog into. Accordingly, these Albinos are hunted by witchcraft because they believe that that blood of these albinos are a poweful formula for a spell. In this world of scientific awareness and technology at its peak there is still a place where ancient traditions exist. It is very heart-breaking how these Albinos are hunted. A women describes how they live in fear. When they go home they fear of being attacked and having their arms cut off. When they go to bed they fear of not waking up the next day. Technically speaking they fear to be alive. Somehow, the government is doing something to protect this helpless community.
