Maybe the solution is spread of Islam throughout Africa.
Women and innocents are afforded a lot of protection through Sharia laws.

because they call them witches.
we should have just stayed out in the first place they had their culture based on ancestry worship and it worked fine for them for thousands of years. Along comes the white superior man with his superior morals and superior God.... Et voila... Na we are not going to apologize for the mess we caused, we will just point with the finger at these savages... Disgusting indeed...

The continent of Africa is one of the regions most rife with contemporary slavery. Slavery in Africa has a long history, within Africa since before historical records, but intensifying with the Arab slave trade and again with the trans-Atlantic slave trade;
Africa is again the worldâs epicenter of modern-day slavery
Africa just recorded the highest rate of modern-day enslavement in the world. Armed conflict, state-sponsored forced labor, and forced marriages were the main causes behind the estimated 9.2 million Africans who live in servitude without the choice to do so, according to the 2018 Global Slavery Index. And despite these practices being widespread, slavery has remained a largely invisible issue, in part, because it disproportionately affects the most marginalized members of society, such as minorities, women, and children.

Sorry it wasn't intended to offend any one, went off a bit there true.
Yet they had witches before we came there, it was an integral part of their culture. Not so now, how come it is a reason to burn a woman? where do you think they did get the inspiration for that? Hell of an good example we are giving to them.
Actually it was an integral part of every culture before Christianity swept the world of that very important component...
But yeah the savior is never questioned...
just blame blame blame, some self reflections and admitting to have #ed up the peoples minds over the last 2000 year what a blasphemous thought...
Sorry mate most of the mess we see right now started 2000 years ago... Now it was either Christianity or something posing as Christianity but does it makes any difference right now?
Questioning one offend everyone that identifies with it all though, you cant really justify the thousands of people that burned on the stacks either.
Sorry I'm to emotional, just carry on

n the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, the demigod and his comrade Enkidu rip out the heart of the Bull of Heaven as a gift to the sun god Shamash. This bloody act is far from the only time sacrifice makes an appearance in the worldâs most ancient stories, and in some tales such rituals claim human lives, or almost. In Greek myth, King Agamemnon decides to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia to Artemis as payment for letting the Greek fleet sail to Troy. In the book of Genesis, Abraham nearly sacrifices his son Isaac to God, with an angel staying Abrahamâs hand only at the last minute.
Human Sacrifice: Why the Aztecs Practiced This Gory Ritual In addition to slicing out the hearts of victims and spilling their blood on temple altars, the Aztecs likely also practiced a form of ritual cannibalism.
Why the Horrible Tradition of Human Sacrifice in Africa Needs To Stop
he culture of human sacrifice is said to be rampant in many African countries, including Nigeria, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Swaziland, South Africa, and several others. These practices involve the hunting down, mutilation, and murder of the most vulnerable members of the society, particularly children, people with albinism (a genetic skin disorder), and the handicapped. Unfortunately, most of these cases go unreported largely due to the secret nature of the ritual sacrifices and naivety of the people involved.
Leo Igwe, IHEUâs representative for West and Southern Africa, is working to combat widespread human rights abuses caused by belief in sorcery and superstition. On November 11, 2010, he raised the issue of ritual killing and human sacrifice at the African Commission on Human and Peopleâs Rights, with the following statement.
Madam Chairperson, The practice of ritual killing(1) and human sacrifice(2) continues to take place in several African countries in contravention of the African Charter on Human and Peopleâs Rights and other human rights instruments. In this 21st century, human beings are still being hunted down, mutilated, murdered or sacrificed for ritual purposes across the region. Several cases of kidnapping and disappearance of persons(3) are traced to the vicious schemes and activities of ritualists. In most cases, those targeted for ritual sacrifice are vulnerable members of the population â the poor, women, children(4), the aged and people with disabilities.(5)

Itâs racist for white people to call this out. Whyâs it racist: money-power-votes.
Itâs not about helping people, itâs about money-power-votes
Poor Africans can not donate to the democrat party. Not to mention itâs really hard but not impossible for poor blacks in Africa to vote democrat....so why spend recourses to help.
Republics donât care because of fix your own house before you fix others.

Look at Alexander. He went out slaughtering, raping and conquering...
...same with Egyptians, same with Romans. They sacrificed their first born in the fire to their idols for thousands and thousands of years...

You just make that up?
The tale of the rex Nemorensis appears in a number of ancient sources. Ovid gives a poetic account of the priesthood of Nemi in his Fasti, Book 3, 271 (on the month of March), noting that the lake of Nemi was "sacred to antique religion", and that the priest who dwelt there "holds his reign by strong hands and fleet feet, and dies according to the example he set himself."[1] The Latin name of the priesthood is given by Suetonius: "He [Caligula] caused the rex Nemorensis, who had held his priesthood for many years, to be supplanted by a stronger adversary."[2] That same passage indicates that by the time of the early Principate, the custom of succession in the office by combat had become subject to outside control. The Greek geographer Strabo also mentions the institution: "and in fact a barbaric, and Scythian, element predominates in the sacred usages, for the people set up as priest merely a run-away slave who has slain with his own hand the man previously consecrated to that office; accordingly the priest is always armed with a sword, looking around for the attacks, and ready to defend himself."[3]
Ancient Egyptian retainer sacrifice is a type of human sacrifice in which pharaohs and occasionally other high court nobility would have servants killed after the pharaohs' deaths to continue to serve them in the afterlife. In Egypt, retainer sacrifice only existed during the First Dynasty, from about 3100 BC to 2900 BC, slowly dwindling, and eventually dying out.
Skeletal remains 'confirm ancient Greeks engaged in human sacrifice' This article is more than 3 years old Bones found on Mount Lykaion â where animal offerings to Zeus were also made â but some are urging caution over how to interpret the discovery
The discovery of a 3,000-year-old skeleton in Greece has excited archeologists, who believe that the finding may confirm one of the darkest legends of antiquity. Greeceâs culture ministry announced on Wednesday that a Greek-American team of researchers had discovered the skeleton of a teenager on the side of Mount Lykaion â known to be the site of animal sacrifices to Zeus. âMuch later, sources talk about human sacrifices taking place on Lykaion,â Anna Karapanagiotou, the head of the local archeological service, told a local municipal radio. âAll this will be studied.â Mount Lykaion was associated with human sacrifice by many ancient writers, including Plato, and while it may be too early to speculate on how the teenager died, the location adds a strong connection. âIt nearly seems to good to be true,â said Dr Jan N Bremmer, professor emeritus of religious studies at the University of Groningen, Netherlands, and an editor of The Strange World of Human Sacrifice.

you are right it was and is alwaya the same.
but we have to agree then that Christianity isn't any better. Because, burning people on the stacks, waging wars all over the world in their name, and recently child molesters, not any better from my point of view.
So no superior god no superior morals, just empty words... By each and all of them, including Christianity.
who gives any one the right to judge any other cultures rituals in the light of Christianitys history?
You can fool some people some time but....

It is not Christianity gone wrong. It is everything gone wrong. Muslims stone women in pits for adultery there.
