Albino people hunted in Malawi
"Wire reports" ^ | June 7, 2016

Posted on 06/07/2016 7:44:52 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

At least 18 people with albinism have been killed for their body parts in the southern African country of Malawi since November 2014, Amnesty International said in a report released Tuesday.

The body parts are sold for use in remedies by witch doctors, who say albino parts bring good luck or wealth, according to the report. It added that women and children are especially vulnerable to attack because of the myth that having sex with a person with albinism can cure HIV/AIDS.

You know, I THINK that I've "seen it all" in this world of ours but this "albino hunt" for body parts HAS to top my list of insanity and evil.
Satan is busy in Malawi these days.

They DO have a government and army so those children COULD be protected. All we can do is pray for them.

Horrible. Some believe albinos have gold in their bones.

One lion killed with a properly issued permit and we hear about it for weeks.

18 dead people before we even hear about it.

Meanwhile, millions of unborn humans are murdered each year in the US, untold numbers to harvest body parts and “Amnesty” International is silent. The silence is deafening.

It’s just the natives who believe this stuff:

Brainy expatriots could NEVER be like that, right?

Nope!

I worked at a stem cell company in Silicon Valley with a Liberian guy who with a completely straight face told me about how rebels affixed tiny mirrors to their foreheads, and that this would stop bullets —black magic.

He also really did believe in PENIS SHRINKERS, witches who cast as spell, resulting in....well, YOU KNOW.

SUPER WEIRD.

I guess Satan is busiest in INDONESIA, the largest Muslim country in the world.

From Wikipedia:
Indonesia: It has an estimated population of over 258 million people and is the world's fourth most populous country as well as the most populous Muslim majority country. The world's most populous island of Java contains more than half of the country's population.

Most Muslims are NOT Arabs. They would be Indonesian. Whodda thunk?

This has been going on for millenia. I first learned about it when I first started listening to Salif Keita. In addition to being a great musician, he himself is an albino and has been leading the fight against this. There have even been reports of albino body parts being smuggled into Britain and France.

Spoke about this years ago with Ousmane Sembene. It’s actually amazing how worldly Freepers really are... I secretly want to meet all of you! (Hasn’t happened since the DC Pyjama Patrol events...)
