Dar es Salaam (AFP) - A six-year-old albino boy has had his right hand hacked off in the latest of a string of attacks in Tanzania against the minority, police said Sunday.

The boy, Baraka Cosmas, was sleeping at home with his mother in the village of Kipenda, in Tanzania's south-western Rukwa region, when a gang of assailants stormed in late Saturday, regional police commander Jacob Mruanda said.

"The gangsters got hold of the victim's mother, Prisca Shaaban, and beat her severely after she refused to hand over the boy," Mruanda said.

"The assailants later used machetes to cut off the boy's right palm and walked out," he added, saying the boy and his mother were being treated in hospital.

Disgusting stuff.

Africa is not educated enough for self rule. The whole continent should be put under UN rule, the number one priority should be establishing universal primary education, then after 3 generations or so have been through that system, maybe they can try democracy again.

Horrible crimes happen all over the world. You might as well list all the most gruesome and sadistic murders committed in the US and claim Americans are not educated enough to rule themselves - and you would be equally wrong.

It's not colonialism is you aren't redirecting their resources somewhere else.

Sure, because putting entire nations, not to mention entire continent, under someone's else absolute control (for mere 3 generations) won't have any corrupting effect.

It couldn't possibly be any worse than the current state of affairs.

Or equally right.  After all, Churchill did point out that it often has been said that "democracy is the worst form of government".

You missed the one who was hacked to bits a few weeks ago.

As for recolonisation, we Africans will be all right- but for the Middle East there might be some merit to the idea...

Always a good idea--I'm sure that past colonization had no impact on the recent bout of radical Islam...

WillipsBrighton is not intelligent enough for posting here. He should be put under no-internet regime, number one priority should be keeping his idiocy from spreading around. Then after 3 generations or so, maybe he can try articulate something again.

Tanzania's GDP growth has been 7% a year for a decade now. They're doing better than ever, and have a bright future ahead.
