Killing of Albino People in African Countries

[Sehrysh]

In the last year, there have been numerous reports of albino people being hunted and killed in African countries because it is believed that their body parts can be used in witchcraft potions.

It was bad enough when you read about the use of exotic animals for recreational purposes or similar magical voodoo reasons, but that a group of people with a medical condition are treated as less than human or farm animals is astounding :nahi:

I remember reading about this, really horrifying. I don't remember though, is this happening in tribal communities or non tribal? im assuming tribal but not 100% sure.
