> Tanzanian authorities say that 10 children who were kidnapped
in December were found dead and were killed for their body
parts.
>
> The children’s ears and teeth and “private parts” were
removed, and some were missing limbs, according to published
reports that cited the authorities.
>
> They were aged between two and nine years old. Authorities in
Tanzania have indicated that there may be more children missing.
>
> A relative of three of the children has been arrested.
>
> Apparently, authorities suspect that witchcraft motivated the
horrors that were inflicted upon the children. Some witchdoctors
in the area where the children were killed, and where some 10
are missing, claim that by obtaining some body parts, people can
attract money and good fortune. The children went missing while
their parents sold food at a market, the BBC said.
>
> "This is all about superstitious beliefs and many believe they
will get help from witchcraft," Njombe District Commissioner
Ruth Msafiri said.
>
> "These murders are linked to witchcraft practices because that
is the trend for such crimes, where herbalists ask people to get
these human parts for money rituals," he said.
>
> "We urge all parents and guardians to be on alert and teach
their children on how to determine the motives of who is around
them," the district commissioner told the BBC.
>
> “We want to identify the perpetrators, but our focus is to
educate the traditional practitioners in the area quickly and
those in surrounding communities on the need to stop these
acts," CNN quoted him as saying.
>
> The Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights has
described the body parts market as one that fetches from $2,000
for a limb to $75,000 for a corpse.
>
> Authorities said the murder and mutilation of the 10 children
was not related to the killings of albinos in the country.
>
> Albinos in Tanzania frequently are targeted for abuse because
of discrimination and the belief their albinism is the result of
their being cursed, according to Amnesty International.

ny child with albinoism should be taken into a group created
with the offer of their family to do work because the prices
paid are so high they can't trust family members. There are
already groups taking in children like this. This is revolting
and prevalent

There’s a disturbing documentary on you tube about albinos in
Tanzania called ‘Deadly Hunt’. It’s so sad first the way these
children are ostracized but horrifying the way they are
literally hunted for their body parts!
