Albinos Now Live in Fear in Tanzania: 7 Year Old Albino boy has his hand chopped off For Rituals.

 In the latest of a series of horrific events involving Fetish attackers using Albino body parts for ritualistic purposes. a 7Year-old boy's hand was cut off on Saturday while walking home with his friends.

"The boy was attacked on Saturday by three people as he walked home with his four school friends," said Apolinary Macheta, the local government leader in Tanzania's southwestern Milepa district''

The boy Nwigulu Magessa, is now recovering in hospital after his life changing encounter, Mr Macheta added.


This is not the first time something like this has happened in Tanzania. Days ago an albino mother of four had her arm chopped off in a similar circumstance. Authorities in Tanzania on Saturday say they have arrested five men after discovering a decomposing limb hidden in a field.

In fact, in Tanzania albinos are killed and their body parts used for rituals because of a widespread belief that it can bring them fortune and prosperity.

This is shocking, thought this was 2013 and not 100AD.
