The belief that body parts, particularly of albinos, bring "luck" and wealth is not shared by the people, but is of the (protected, anonymous) wealthy elite who get shaman as middlemen (who will not reveal the buyers) to procure parts for around $4,000 or whole humans for up to $75,000.

Here is a quote from a recent article: "Only 10 people have ever been brought to trial for their part in albino attacks or murders - but not one of them was a 'buyer'. The only people who have been convicted are the witch doctors and the hired killers,' said Peter. But they would never name the customer - even when the witch doctor is given the death sentence. Never has a customer been named.'

I realize that, like the horror of Pizzagate crimes, this is not new, but it is interesting as part of the larger picture. Wikipedia blames the indigenous culture, but these people are not the "buyers" fueling this--the well hidden "elite" are. According to Under The Same Sun (Canadian charity) cases have also appeared in Kenya and the Democratic republic of the Congo in 2008, and Burundi and Swaziland in 2010.

It is not organ trafficking, but hands, arms legs, skin, faces, genitals, etc. are removed form living people allegedly for "witchcraft" and the shaman is the middleman--the buyer always unknown. Sometimes graves are dug for whole bodies.

Here are two documentaries on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w0AhGAC2R0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLt4MrZCzsM

It is difficult to find any information about this practices political connections that dates before 2008, when there was even a Washington Compost article on it. Many other articles merely repeat essentially the same information.

An interesting and disturbingly "coincidental" thing is the warning that this heinous activity was feared to increase ahead of elections.

Here is the quote:

"In the buildup to Tanzania’s elections, one activist said, officials have expressed fears about the further attacks. It is true that there is a link between elections and a rise in attacks on persons with albinism,” Ernest Kimaya, chairman of the Tanzania Albinism Society, told Reuters. “It is something that we are aware of.”
