Re: [wanabidii] ‘Politicians killing albinos’

Superstition must be a stupid game. Imagine if all contestants uses those albino body parts who will win? Whot will be the contribution of those parts.

Dodoma.
The government admitted yesterday that politicians could be
behind increased
attacks and killings of people with albinism in the
country.

The
accusation came in the wake of reports that linked the
country's political
power pursuit with attacks on albinos because such incidents
rise during
elections time.

It
is erroneously believed that the body parts of persons with
albinism bring
fortune, and thus some politicians seek them ostensibly to
boost their chances
of winning in the polls.

In
March, the UN condemned the wave of albino killings in
Tanzania, warning that
the upsurge could be linked to the forthcoming General
Election campaigns.

Speaking
in Geneva, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Mr
Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein,
warned that the surge could be linked to the looming General
Election in
October this year, as power aspirants may be turning to
sorcerers to boost the
chances.

He
noted that in the past six months, at least 15 people with
albinism in
Tanzania, Malawi and Burundi have been abducted, wounded,
killed or escaped
being kidnapped, including three such attacks in the past
week alone.

Deputy
minister for Home Affairs, Mr Pereira Silima, yesterday told
the Parliament
that he also had heard of the reports linking politicians
with the killings of
people with albinism.

"This
could be true because the killings are increasing during
elections," he said.

"I
want to assure my fellow politicians that there won't be
any parliamentary seat
that will be won as a result of using albino body parts,"
he added.

Earlier,
Rombo MP Joseph Selasini (Chadema) wondered why the
government remaining silent
on the reports linking politicians to albino
killings.
