Africa Eye investigates elderly attacks made in a Kenyan coastal region, supposedly over witchcraft but really over land. Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica At least one elderly person loses their life every week in the name of witchcraft along Kenya’s stunning Kilifi coast. Violent attacks on supposed witches occur across swathes of Africa and beyond, but the estimated 70 deaths reported here every year are about much more than fear of the supernatural. Meeting victims, relatives and even perpetrators, #BBCAfricaEye investigates the real motives fuelling these brutal incidents and the impunity that often enables them, revealing that many elderly victims are targeted not by strangers, but the very people who should be protecting them - their own families. *** Africa Eye brings you original, investigative journalism revealing secrets and rooting out injustice in the world’s most complex and exciting continent. Nothing stays hidden forever. 🎧 Listen to the podcast "Assignment: Cry Witch, Take My Land, Take My Life" on the BBC World Service here:
