Mozambique Urges End to ‘Black Magic' Murder, Rape, Dismemberment of Albinos
|
 [Breitbart] The government of Mozambique launched a new conference and training session initiative in partnership with an albino rights NGO Wednesday urging citizens to cease killing, raping, and using the body parts of people with albinism in witchcraft ceremonies.
In many parts of southeastern Africa, "traditional herbalists" who practice witchcraft spread the belief that people with albinism possess magical powers. Albinism is a condition in which a person’s body does not produce pigmentation, often leaving them more sensitive to sun exposure and other risks. Many in the region hold the common belief that potions featuring the body parts of an albino person can bring good luck, help in business, win political elections, and cure diseases. Relatedly, some believe that sex with an albino woman can cure HIV/AIDS, resulting in frequent instances of rape of albino girls and women.
Witch doctor demands for albino body parts make harvesting them by killing or dismembering an albino person a lucrative business.
Deputy Minister of Gender, Child, and Social Action Lucas Mangrasse attended a conference on albinism Wednesday alongside the organization Amor a Vida (love of life), which advocates for albino rights, speaking on behalf of the executive government in condemning violent acts against albino people. The organization demanded "urgent measures" to punish attacks on albinos and prevent further violence, in the hope of achieving a 2020 with no attacks on albinos on record.
