People With Albinism In Malawi Face 'Total Extinction' - UN
Malawi's estimated 10,000 albinos face "extinction" if they continue to
be murdered for their body parts for use in witchcraft, a UN expert has
warned. Ikponwosa Ero said that the situation "constitutes an emergency,
a crisis disturbing in its proportions".
Her call came after two men received a 17-year jail term for murdering a 21-year-old woman with albinism. She said Malawi police have recorded 65 attacks, abductions and murders of albinos since the end of 2014.

"Even in death, they do not rest in peace as their remains are robbed from graveyards," Ms Ero, an albino herself added.

US Forces Locate Chibok Girls-New York Times
MAROUA, Cameroon — The American and African forces sent to Cameroon to fight Boko Haram have, on several occasions, located clusters of the schoolgirls kidnapped by the militant group two years ago, United States officials said.
Rescue operations have not been carried out, the officials said, because of fears that any ensuing battle with Boko Haram fighters would put the captives at risk, or incite some form of retaliation against hostages still being held in other areas.
American officials said a combination of local intelligence, intercepted communications and drone footage had been used to locate groups of the 276 girls abducted from the Government Girls Secondary School in the Nigerian town of Chibok two years ago this month. Some of the girls have since been tracked to Nigeria’s sprawling Sambisa Forest.
