KABALE-Uganda For bringing shame to his family, a father of nine in Kabale District has been accused by his wife of attempting to kill four of their children. Their crime they were born albinos. The mother, Ms Medius Kyarisima, 50, says she had no choice but to flee her marital home in Kinyamari Butanda Sub-county and take refuge at her mothers place in the neighbouring sub-county of Bufundi. Last month, my husband Godfrey Ndabahwerize threatened to kill our four Albino children, saying they were a disgrace to his family, she said. When I tried to reason with him, he picked a panga and cut me on the right side of my nose. I packed my belongings and those of my albino children and we went to my mothers place for refuge, she adds. Mr Barnett Champion, the Butanda Sub-county chairperson, who is privy to the familys misunderstandings, said Ms Kyarisima complained to the authorities and they were still looking for Mr Ndabahwerize. The sub-county boss explained, however, that the husband may be having a mental disturbance. Ms Kyarisimas anguish, however, is not just to sustain the four albino children; she has five others to take care of. She is now looking to well-wishers for financial support to help her raise her children.
