I am living in hiding after I received threats because of my undercover work exposing the threat from witchdoctors to albinos living in Tanzania.
Mine is just one life, compared to the several thousand people living with albinism in the country.
If nothing is done about this network, they could kill every albino in the country - estimates vary between 4,000 and 173,000.
This year, at least 25 people with albinism have been killed, mostly in the Lake Victoria Zone, especially the Mwanza, Shinyanga and Mara areas.
They are being killed because local witchdoctors say their body parts provide the potent ingredient for magic charms, which many local people use to bring success in business and love.
The bodies are left limbless and sometimes with a huge hole in the neck, from where blood would have been drained.
SOMA HAPA.
