Tanzania albinos face violence - 25 Jun 08

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.

@EsotericKnowledge33 yes, I do know that satan exist. And I know that every man is born to sin. but I also know that every man is tempted of the devil/satan, and that every man has free will to choose. They are choosing to believe satan's lies. And so I'm sure satan feels he is the victor here because they choose to kill and destroy. But satan by no means is an escape from anything, but rather a way to destruction and following him is the worst things anyone can ever do.

@vondakayissweet Well the thing is, you don't know if Satan exists or not. It's like you seem to think humans can't be truly evil on their own.

@EsotericKnowledge33 ...Well, sure, its the human being making the choice, but where do u think they get their power to follow through with such evil? It is satan who is the father of lies, the father of evil. These witch doctors are getting their power from the source and spreading it out like a disease convincing people of the lies that killing innocent people is the answer.....but it is their choice, really, to do the bad things.

@vondakayissweet Lol, always using Satan as a scapegoat.
