How is this different from child sacrifice in “more civilized” countries?
As famine looms in Uganda, child sacrifice is on the rise. The crisis hits the poorest living in the north and east, fueling the demand for the rituals.
A police report confirms 23 deaths since the beginning of the year. One child abuse worker helping ANPPCAN Uganda says while child sacrifice used to occur mainly in the Ugandan central region, unemployment and poverty have given way to a new kind of witch doctor who practices in a wider geographical area.
Lee DeYoung with Words of Hope agrees and notes a startling trend: “The numbers have increased, and at least in some cases, those have been the bodies of children of believers.”
