Albinos in Tanzania take to the streets...

Tanzanian albinos have held a demonstration against the killing of members of their community. 

Organisers of the protest in the commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, are urging the government to do more to protect albinos. 

About 30 albinos, some of them babies, have been killed in the past year. 

Witchdoctors want their body parts for potions which they say make people rich. Dozens of people have been held in connection with the deaths. 

But the chairman of the Albinos Association Tanzania, Ernest Kimaya, said no suspect had been convicted and jailed. 

"We might be forced to seek refuge in a safe country if the government will not make enough efforts against albino killings," he told the Tanzanian newspaper The Citizen. 

"It is only a few of us who have the courage to walk in the streets but most stay indoors while others always fear to walk freely," he said.
