NAIROBI, Kenya ― The mistaken belief that albino body parts have magical powers has driven thousands of Africa's albinos into hiding, fearful of losing their lives and limbs to unscrupulous dealers who can make up to $75,000 selling a complete dismembered set. ...
I didnt even know about all this until i ran into this article.
let me hear what you think about this...... what can we do to stamp out this inhuman act?

its comments like the one's above that I do want to partake in such discussions...
The best thing we can do is to uplift ourselves to not succumb to such, primitive actions and thoughts. And besides Africa has been manipulated for the last 300 years or more, much of what they say about Africans being nothing more than thieves,womanizers, and primitive blood seeking naked warriors are lies to an extent.

Not *all* of Africa has been manipulated... there's a great discussion thread on Fark.com about this same story (same as all the other times it's been posted there) and someone pointed out that countries like South Africa, with a pretty long history of being British or French colonies, are some of the *least* screwed up nations on the continent.
Hell, we in the West are no better. At least African politicians are downright honest about how godawful corrupt they are.
But at least we don't attack people for their looks. Oh, wait...

/yes, kicking gingers does not = killing albinos and selling their bits and pieces for talismans. But having a "what can we do to stop this?" discussion is just way too naive.

I guess The Edgar Winter Group won't be performing in that part of the world anytime soon.
Not to put words in アルビン's mouth, but I assumed he was being a bit tongue-in-cheek while trying to demonstrate the hopelessness of that region of Africa; sadly, as ダン@WE ARE TOKYO! said, there really isn't much anyone can do about it.

Glad you understood.
Africa is not the only place that's got it bad. Take a look at the recent events in the Philippines.
I think you've all heard about the recent massacre that happened. The government is not
"aggressively" pursuing (there are a lot of delays) the matter because the suspects are allies of the present administration. There is fear that evidence will be lost, witnesses disappearing
or retracting their accounts, leading to the non-conviction of the suspects...and eventually
no criminal would be found. My brother's answer to this, "bomb Maguindanao!"...and this was
not tongue-in-cheek.

Sure, not all of Africa has gold or tin or diamonds...
I don't think the essential problem of what makes so much of Africa unpleasant is necessarily the results of having been or not having been colonized, as the result of being simultaneously rich in resources and poor in governmental and social structures. Everywhere that combination happens in the world, it leads inevitably to a pattern of internal strife being magnified by outside influence - a stable government, after all, charges more for its resources than warring factions who are willing to sell off anything handy to buy weapons to subdue their rivals.
