Whether or not this can be related to Pizzagate is debatable, but if the story is anything close to true then we can certainly make comparisons in regards to the use of witchcraft involving body parts. For all anybody knows there could be leads here relating to trafficking.
This is an email I received yesterday from Amnesty International...
>My name is Bonface Massah and I want to wish you a happy human rights day.
>
>I am writing to you today to ask you to honour human rights day by bringing hope to people who really need it – simply by writing a message.
>
>I live in Malawi, and I have albinism. That is a dangerous combination.
>
>We have a problem in Malawi – people like me are hunted and brutally killed in the name of witchcraft, because of our genetic condition. Some people believe that our body parts will bring them luck.
>
>I work for an organisation that fights for the rights of people with albinism. I am doing all I can do educate others about my condition, but we are in terrible danger.
>
>One of the people I work with is a little girl called Annie Alfred. Annie is eleven. She wants to be a nurse when she grows up, although right now she just loves playing with her friends. But her life is in constant danger.
>
>I fear for my own life, and the lives of people I work with. Little Annie should be able to play carefree, but unfortunately this isn’t the case.
>
>If you write a message today, Amnesty will share it with me, and I will pass it on to Annie and show it to the communities we work with.
>
>Attacks on people with albinism have risen in the past couple of years, and many of the victims have been young children.
>
>We are doing all we can to make sure these attacks are reported and properly punished – and ultimately stopped. We have a struggle ahead.
>
>But you can make a real difference today to the people affected by this hideous crime.
>
>Please take a moment on human rights day to show Annie and the people we work with that they have support around the world – regardless of their skin colour and genetic condition. From one human to another.
>
>Thank you, and I wish you a happy human rights day.
>
>Bonface Ophiyah Massah
>National Coordinator of APAM, the Association of Persons with Albinism in Malawi

What we're dealing with here is a global trafficking network. We're potentially dealing with people who are illegally harvesting body parts for either ritualistic or scientific purposes, and that's precisely what this submission relates to. Just because it's "third world" doesn't mean to say there aren't some dirty "first world" players abducting and murdering children under the guise of a "primitive, localised culture". Yes, this could purely be a local thing but since the matter at hand is a global problem, such which needs tackling as a matter of urgency, then we require every lead possible.
It's not like this is some random article on a random website, this is direct from Amnesty International. If that is irrelevant to you, move on and have a nice day.
