Albinos in Burundi flee killings

advertisement

Albinos in Burundi have been taking refuge after three of them were killed by gangs apparently seeking to sell body parts in neighbouring Tanzania.

Four albinos were moved to a provincial centre on Thursday in Ruyigi, Burundi, where police were protecting them, the BBC's Prime Ndikumagenge reports.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Neighbours of another teenage albino girl killed in Ruyigi in August chased away her attackers, six of whom were later apprehended as they came to retrieve her body parts.

Weird. Sounds like a move. Strange to think this stuff actually happens. Not a very progressive race are we?

    Not a very progressive race are we? No we are not and that is not so bad,

    So far; no country has the educational system which the knowledge society needs. No coutnry has tackled the major demands…We can definine - albeit in rough outline - the specification for schooling and for schools which might answer to the realities of the post-capitalist society; the knowledge society.
