    • In Mali, some people still proceed to human sacrifice. The country is supposed to be muslim, but many people still mix Islam and ancestral beliefs.
    Don't be alone in the Bobo regions (between Segou and Mopti for instance), if you hear the drums (tam-tam), they might look after you. Do you think it is a joke? Do you think it does not happen in the 21st century?
    In 2005, the old "wises" of the village of Mahou (close to the border with Burkina Faso, coming from Koutiala) were convinced in court of human sacrifice. The best people to please their gods: people with clear skins like Albinos and Caucasians.
