Malawi's Mutharika declares war against 'terrorists' who kill albinos

Malawian President Peter Mutharika has declared war against albino "terrorists", claiming that his administration will win the war against them, Nyasa Times reports.

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

Mutharika 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.

Mutharika said that at least 130 arrests had been made in connection with albino abductions and murders in Malawi.
