Dozens of villagers in the Kenyan district of Kisii are falling prey to superstitious groups accusing them of witchcraft. The poverty-stricken western district, known as Kenya's sorcery belt, has seen an increase in mob attacks on individuals and even killings. The poor and elderly in particular are being targeted. Three months ago, a group of youths tortured five suspected witches before setting them on fire. Joseph Ondiek's 65-year-old mother was one of those killed. He says says he and his family are living in constant fear and cannot even think about getting justice for their mother's killing. "Our neighbours call us witches. We have no friends around and we are fearful," he says. "I am also forced to go as far as possible from my village in search of jobs. No one who knows me will offer me any work." Deeply rooted tradition Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow, reporting from Kisii, says witchcraft remains deeply rooted within the community despite the brutal killings. "Every ailment, misfortune or trouble is blamed on sorcery. Some say even success here is attributed to witchcraft," he says. "Lobby groups for the elderly have set up shop here to try and stop the targeting of senior citizens, spreading the message that burning of suspected witches is not an answer to sorcery." Harrison Nyaribo, 70, had his home razed by a mob on a witch-hunt. He was accused of practising witchcraft, but says the attack on his home had other motives. "I have never been engaged in sorcery. All this is is envy," he says. "My children are all grown up, educated and have good jobs. I am also one of few people here who have stone buildings. This is the work of envious people." http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2009/12/2009122683921769977.html Source: Al Jazeera

lol@ cramping my style. My New Year resolution is too scandalous to mention. p.s My dear every year I make the same resolution i.e. try to be tiny winy nice and less cynical. Come 2nd week of Jan, I realise how hopeless that was. Hence gave up on the niceness and embraced my permanent state of grumpiness. Actually I need to open a grumpy-corner. So much to be grumpy about lately. As for me getting soft- shame on you sister-woman. And whatever gave you that idea?

Jb- being chased by Faheema is the stuff of every man’s dream. Embrace it and count your self very lucky.
-
Malika- I must say fufu thread took the crown. People downloading their weakly intake, and to the letter was shocking. Faheema- Poor you.
-
I know....I’m still undecided on whether their naturally intrusive (sign of ill breading) or just ran out of things to say. How are you mpenzi? Enjoying the holiday season? Faheema- are you now the doctor? Jb- Too much time on your hand?
-
Faheema-I wish my dear. Back to miserable London. Old man I take offence in being referred to as a witch. Especially when JB is taken hostage by a jin JB- what kind of a jin?
-
Morning people. Faheema-ure not alone.

cynical lady replied to cabdihaybe773's topic in General
Tsk tsk Max, why so cynical? Some could argue that Love indeed does exist and not designed to keep poets busy or starved for that matter. But truly exists, out there. Granted, it might not be something that one ought to feel, touch or recognise on the first instance. But as sure as the sunset, one would recognise it and succumb to its mystical powers and well settle down and multiply in no time. In loving/devoted manner that is. And the auspicious moment in question won’t be a silent one. Oh no!! I have it in good authority that it’s an earth shattering, life altering in short is a very imposing moment, and just like that, dear chap (that is if you’re lucky enough to experience such force of nature) you will join a very exclusive club. You see Marx- don’t let the 1st year law student with a BF jade you. The glory is in the pursuit. if you now excuse me i need to locate a bucket and puke my dinner out. -
Greetings from lovely lovely Devon. I must be oddest person ever; I get all giddy and excited going to the country than leaving the country. Ohh!!

I’m offended Juxa. I’m very good with kids, granted most parents don’t approve of my influence but down with kids. Lol Malika- one must always know these things. You never know when they will come to use.
