Culture shock

I know many people in Africa believe in witchcraft and believe that it exists. Many people believe that witches are the source of evil in either their homes or communities. I am sure if we dig deep even the so called posh Africans would name witches in their hometowns or families. Well, everyone is free to believe in what they want but it is unacceptable when they take the law into their hands and start killing people just because they suspect them of witchcraft. This is what happened in Kisii region in Kenya’s capital near Nairobi. The newspaper reported that at least 11 people were burned alive by a crowd after being accused of witchcraft. The victims include eight women and three men with age ranging from between 70 and 96. Doesn’t this sound barbaric? How can a group of people just kill people just because they believe they are witches? I do not understand the logic of some people honestly. How is the killing going to help improve their standard of living? I always say these culprits have nothing to do and do not want to use their minds and innovate new things. I hope justice prevails and these hooligans locked up for life as they are no longer humans and would kill again. At the end of the day, they showed they are more evil than the innocent people that they killed. Who gave them the power to kill and in whose name did they kill for?
