Voodoo and witchcraft still practiced throughout Africa

In February 2019, there was growing anger in Liberia over a video posted on social media and widely circulated on Facebook that showed two naked women being dragged through the streets as a group of young men call on them to confess to being witches.

Albino children have been targeted for their bones. In March 2019, a report stated that Africans with albinism in Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania were killed because of the mistaken belief that rituals involving parts of their bodies can bring good luck and wealth.
