  • A group of bandits armed with rifles attacked the home of a six-year-old albino girl on Monday overnight in BurundiCizanye in Bugongo," 220 kilometres (135 miles) east of the capital Bujumbura. These criminals decapitated her and then chopped off her arms and legs, which they took with them.

    The criminals of hunting albinos sell their organs and limbs to witch doctors in Tanzania who use them for lucky charms. THIS CAN NOT BE TOLERATED. WITCH DOCTORS MUST BE ARRESTED AND HARSHLY PROSECUTED!!!

    You cannot paint everybody with the same brush. As proud as I am to be Catholic, I am also proud to be African and I would hate for people to assume I am a ruthless blood-thirsty dictator like Idi Armin or Robert Mugabe.

    Let's focus on trying to find a solution to this dire situation in Tanzania and stop reminiscing on past problems. Be active in finding the answers to this problem instead of adding fuel to an already big fire.

  • what the hell are you going on about? Your rants on youtube have structure or logic.

    The correct term for "albino" IS "ALBINO" just as how language has developed so that "Gay" no longer means "to be happy" nor "Bitch" to refer solely to a female dog.

    and to add, as a proud Catholic may I say your attacks on the Catholic Church are more than offensive. I'll admit that there have been many atrocities undergone in the Catholic society but in balance we have done a lot more good! (continue...)
