"At least 20 Malawians with albinism have been killed for their body parts since November 2014, according to Amnesty International. But the number could be higher, with many other people with albinism having disappeared. In Tanzania, at least 75 have been killed since 2000. The danger has become so significant that the United Nations refugee organization has recently begun relocating families of people with albinism in Malawi to Canada and other countries."

Very sad but true @SPC Brittany Winnie SPC Britanny *Winnie* Balthaser. In many traditional African cultures south of the Sahara, albinism is considered to be a curse. In this nation, there was a debate last year about the morality of selling body parts resulting from induced abortion. Planned Parenthood was defended by former POTUS Barrack Obama via the bully pulpit of the POTUS.
