President Mutharika declares war against 'terrorists' who kill albinos in Malawi


Malawi's President, Peter Mutharika, has declared war against what he calls albino terrorists, claiming that his administration will win the war against them. 

While making his address on International Albinism Awareness Day, President Mutharika said that perpetrators of crimes against albino nationals would face the full might of the law. 

He said this as Justice Minister Samuel Tembenu was set to table a bill in Parliament, aimed at increasing protection for those living with the condition.

The President said that at least 130 arrests have been made in connection with albino abductions and murders in Malawi.

He also confirmed the appointment of a special prosecutor to handle cases relating to crimes against albino nationals.
