    Assuming someone is a witch and abusing them is a different topic than thoughts on witchcraft in African countries. Pick a topic and stick with it.

    Two Thumbs Up for Marcus. I was born and raised in Africa too. I have been to different countries and for the last 5 years been in the U.S. It is quite amazing and sometimes annoying how people are misinformed about Africa. On the internet and TV, lies, lies lies.

    But anyways, like other countries, African countries do not have just one religion or practice. I know witchcraft can be very ugly in some societies which practice it. That is all I can tell you on here.

    If you want details, you can hit me up.

    it is said that your freedom ends where my nose begins and my friend you are picking my nose and for that i think i have a right to give you some facts about Africa that you wont find on web. i have been brought up in an African setting and for the past 21 years that i have been around, i have only heard of witchcraft on the web. in Africa we face the same problems that all developing nations face. i can assure you my friend that bias and lack of knowledge is misleading you. in Kenya for example 80% of the population are Christians about 12% Muslims some Hindus and other religious organization. am from Kenya in east Africa and i am an international athlete by profession, i have traveled to many countries and seen so many cultures.the life in those countries is not different from the life in Africa. yet i still fail to understand why some people wont just keep their their racism at bay

    Christians often like to blame others for what happends and blame it on witches or anyone else as they have the belief that their god would not cause havoc.
