Its sad but true. This barbaric act still exist in Tanzania in the East African region. The demand for body parts of Albinos in Tanzania are on the increase and dozens have been killed since 2000.

Ritualists bids as much as $3,000 or $4,000 for a limb, or as much as $75,000 - about £50,000 - for the 'full set', a whole body because they believe its brings luck and wealth.

Albinism, a hereditary genetic condition which causes a total absence of pigmentation in the skin, hair and eyes, affects one in 1,400 Tanzanian, experts say. In the West, it affects just one in 20,000 persons.

Four-year-old Pendo Emmanuelle Nundi was abducted from her home in northern Mwanza region in December but she's yet to be found despite several arrests, including the arrest of Pendo's Father and uncle who were suspected to be in connection with the disappearance of Pendo.

15-year-old Pendo Sengerema was attacked as she ate dinner at home with her family.
They hacked off her right arm just below the elbow, before running off into the dark.

Another boy, Mwigulu Matonange,10 was attacked by two men as he walked home from school with a friend.They chopped off his left arm, before disappearing back into the jungle with their 'prize'. 'I was held down like a goat about to be slaughtered,' he says.
According to Under the Same Sun, a charity organisation for people with this condition, a witch doctor had received an order from a wealthy client indicating that if Pendo’s arm could be provided, it would garner a price of $600.

'In a country like Tanzania, which is the 25th poorest in the world, the only people with that kind of cash are politicians or wealthy businessman'.

'At-least 74 albinos have been murdered in Tanzania since 2000' - United Nations experts.

Centres have been set up around the country, where large number of people with albinism are living behind high walls for their own protection.

Attacks on Albinos is not just a Tanzanian problem. In west Africa, cases have been recorded in the Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Ghana, while there have also been attacks in southern countries like South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique.
