Let us stop pretending. Let us stop whispering. And let us stop being polite while people are dying.
Albino killings happened during the DPP government of Peter Mutharika from 2014 to 2020. That is a fact in the public domain.
When MCP under Lazarus Chakwera took power from 2020 to 2025, the killings stopped. Full stop.
Now DPP is back in power, and the killings and grave desecrations have resurfaced. Again, a fact.
At some point, coincidence stops being coincidence.
Credible institutions are now confirming what communities are already whispering in fear. People with albinism are missing. Graves have been opened. Body parts have been stolen. The UNIMA Disability Rights Clinic has documented disappearances in Nsanje and Mulanje, and grave exhumations in Dowa, Nkhata-Bay, Kasungu, and Ntchisi . This is not politics. This is life and death.
So Malawians are right to ask an uncomfortable question:
Why do albino killings return when the DPP returns to power?
Are we being governed by a modern state—or by people who believe human body parts bring power?
Is this a government—or an occult shrine dressed in suits?
If DPP leaders are not occultists, then they must prove it the only way that matters: by stopping the killings immediately. They control the police. They control intelligence. They control prosecutions. They control the state. If they cannot protect one of the most vulnerable groups in society, then what exactly are they good for?
Let us be sarcastic for a moment, because this horror deserves ridicule.
If power truly comes from bones, blood, and graves, then DPP should say so openly and stop wasting taxpayers’ money on elections. But if they claim to be a legitimate government, then this barbaric nonsense must end—now.
People with albinism are not charms.
They are not rituals.
They are not tools for staying in power.
They are human beings with the same rights as everyone else: the right to live, the right to dignity, and the right to sleep at night without fear of being butchered like animals.
The law is clear. The Constitution is clear. Disability laws are clear. International law is clear. The UNIMA Disability Rights Clinic has reminded the state of its legal duty to protect persons with albinism and to arrest and prosecute those responsible for these crimes . What is missing is not law—it is political will.
And let this be said plainly: history is watching.
The bloodstains from 2014–2020 have not been washed away. If more blood is spilled now, no press statement, no denial, no silence will save those in power from judgment.
This is not about party rivalry.
This is not about insults.
This is about whether Malawi is ruled by law or lunacy.
DPP must choose. And they must choose fast—because for people with albinism, this is not about politics. It is about survival.
