Dear Editor,
I have read about the increasing death rate of my fellow albino sisters and brothers.

Is it not very inhuman that the world is just watching as murderers continue hunting and killing albinos simply because some people demand for our body parts?

I think this is a big threat and I wonder if at all Burundi and Tanzania governments are doing anything to stop the numerous deaths of albinos simply because of their skin colour.

In my view, it is necessary that police departments of those countries investigate the so called traditionalists then maybe perpetuators of the killing would be brought to book.

This matter should be treated with ultimate urgency, or else, traditional doctors in other countries could begin to search for albino’s body parts as well.
