The following youtube videos was very hard for me to show because the subject and situation is very painful and sad. It is the case of Children in Akwa Ibom (and some other areas in the niger delta) of Nigeria who have been condemned by some so called pastor or pastoress as witches. These children are often brought in by thier parents to the church with accusations that they are responsible for the misfortunes in thier homes. These kids are often beaten, maimed, killed and abandoned to starve. I have to warn the the sensitive at heart to brace themselves before watching the clip and the others that follow it.
Thank God for what CRARN is doing to provide clothing, education and basic needs for this children. But they only way they can keep doing what they do is by our support.
It is possible that some of these children have psychic abilities which makes it even sadder that they are being treated this way! In America some of them would probably be called "crystal" children but in some parts in Africa it's a different ball game. This is another negative effect of what a distorted interpretation of Christianity is doing in Africa.
Our children are being killed and allowed to die like chickens in Nigeria, Sudan, Congo (child soldiers) and many areas of the continent, and it's got to stop. They are our future and should be safeguarded from the mess that we have collectively created or allowed to persist.

congo and nigeria update
I hope with the obamania syndrom that we can take a few moments to think about what is going on in central africa. It is my hope that the obama presidency will tackle this issue, cos quite frankly a lot of companies are currently benefiting from this conflict. This is a war that deserves more attention than is currently being given.

On a side note read a few days ago that Bill Clinton,Howard Dean, Paul Bigalo,Donna Brazille and some other high government officials in the U.S paid a visit to Nigeria to "discuss" Obama. Mmmmh..I guess we have to keep our eyes open for this. Things are about to get interesting.
