This has been going on for millenia. I first learned about it when I first started listening to Salif Keita. In addition to being a great musician, he himself is an albino and has been leading the fight against this. There have even been reports of albino body parts being smuggled into Britain and France.
Spoke about this years ago with Ousmane Sembene. It’s actually amazing how worldly Freepers really are... I secretly want to meet all of you! (Hasn’t happened since the DC Pyjama Patrol events...)
