'Burning Times' Redux, 320 Tanzanian Witches Killed So Far This Year (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


via AllAfrica By Masembe Tambwe

Government statistics show a rise in witchcraft killings in western Tanzania since the 1960s, and some have tied this to the radical economic reforms pursued by Tanzania’s socialist regime in the decades after independence, including villagisation and agricultural collectivization.

The government reported that 3072 accused witches were killed in Sukumaland from 1970 to 1988, more than two-thirds of the Tanzanian national witch murder total.

According to these figures, approximately 80 per cent of victims were women and their median age was between 50 and 60 years old– an advanced age for Tanzania, where life expectancy was only 51 years.

The Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC) as per its tradition last week unveiled its bi-annual report that depicts the Human Rights situation in the country.

Six months into the year, the centre has already recorded 320 killings related to witchcraft while in 2013 a total of 303 deaths were recorded and 336 in 2012.

The Burning Times are not over.  Maybe they never ended.  Maybe they never will.  Western witches have to come to the aid of their poor bretheren in 3rd world countries who suffer like the witches of old.  Salem, Pendle, East Anglia, Germany, those who died and suffered there will be better remembered if you help those suffering now like they did.  Never forget..
