Happy Face 29 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Eleven women accused of being witches have been burned to death by a mob in the west of Kenya, police say. A security operation has been launched to hunt down villagers suspected of killing the women in Kisii District. The area has witnessed similar attacks in the past when people suspected of engaging in witchcraft have been killed or ostracised. But correspondents say that this is a surprisingly large number of people to be attacked at the same time. Local official Mwangi Ngunyi condemned the murders. "People must not take the law into their own hands simply because they suspect someone," he told AFP news agency. In this day and age? And yet Derren Brown is allowed to live despite turning many people into newts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4002 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 There was a solar eclipse in Nigeria about 10 years ago I think and a Muslim Mob rioted and killed 20 christians (could easily have been the other way round) who they blamed for the event. The level of education in parts of Africa is sadly not far past the dark ages - see also the classic "sex with a virgin cures AIDS". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
