rural districts near kampala, uganda's capital, have been badly affected by kidnappings of vulnerable people, children in particular, for sacrificial purposes. it is a modern phenomenon that is pretending to be part of the country's old custom, through the use of traditional medicine, which roughly 80% of people rely on. villages have been left gripped by fear and bewilderment from such activities. in exposed communities’, roadsides posters, workshops, and alert systems have been erected to warn children and their families of the danger posed by witch doctors abducting for the purpose of child sacrifice.
