A most amazing story out of east Africa, of up to “ten thousand” albino Africans “displaced” or “in hiding” due to a rash of albino murders in Tanzania and Burindi since 2007.

According to the International Federation for the Red Cross and Crescent societies, the “surge” of murders is due to “a kind of marketing exercise by witch doctors” where a complete set: the limbs, genitals, ears, tongue, and nose of a deceased albino can fetch upwards to $75,000. The buyers: wealthy Africans who use the “black magic” body parts as talismans to ward off “bad luck”.

10,000 East African albinos displaced, in hiding after rash of killings, report says
