“The campaign to make history of the poverty a central moral challenge of our age cannot continue being a task for the few; many must become asking”. - Kofi Annan, United Nations Ex–Secretary-General, October of 2006 Kofi Annan “the challenge of s arrives is bad; a call of the bugler to each citizen of the world to do its small piece, his very better, of the search for a poverty-free world. , the African, the call must be taken seriously to guarantee a better lacking future of deprivations of the essential of the life. We see the probability yet of suppressing poverty in Africa soon, the more especially possible in sub-Sahara Africa, like mirage based on happenstances worrisome newspapers around us. Let” s for example examines two of these tendencies that disturb of the events that are giving to many of us sleepless nights: belief in witchcraft and sorceress-slaughter or sorceress-estereotipia. Let’ beginning of s with the definition of the witchcraft. The witchcraft, according to Bertrand Russell, is “a drawing composed of the phenomenon of the folklore, the witchcraft, the demonología, the heresy and the Christian theology”. The encyclopedia of the book of describes it to the world as “the use of magical energies supposed to damage or to damage generally property”. Of the aforesaid one, we can move ignited to deduce a definition of” witch’ like a person who assumes to have received such energies of “evil spirits”, that is to say, energy of knowing all the things, energy to destroy lives, among others. Whereas “witch” is a general name, the word has a connotation of the sort. A “man witch” is called magician, whereas a “female witch” is called “witch”. The belief in witchcraft is not recent, nor is a product of the popular series of the doorman of Harry. Something, according to Godffrey Parrinder, is” one of the great one (sic) fears of what humanity has suffered “. The belief has appeared in many parts of the world, in a form or the other. Whereas particularly prominent and one became Europe in the ages of middles and the later periods of Renaissance, it has continued being the belief in sorceresses and their evil energies with the African by centuries before. For Africa, therefore, until today, the belief of the witchcraft is a panic of extension and a death of the great tyranny. This without impediments, prospering, the belief, that ratiocination is lacking of any commonsensical scientist, buoyed by atrocious and pitiful the alive condition of many African that it found inexplicable; therefore the necessity of expiatorios chivos, “witches”. Â Thanks to the modern imposters of the day, the pentecostales shepherds. The coming of the Pentecostalism, and the curative Christian, churches have contributed in no small measurement in the reinforcement of the belief. They accepted the existence of sorceresses and demanded witchcraft and they have the energy to protect against his evil energies. All the way of the social one, the economic health and problems are carpeted easily like having “spiritual” reprehensible dimension in “witches”, that is generally aged and adolescent women involuntary. In order to put their churches, most of these shepherds have resorted to demonizing many aged, mainly to the poor men, ojerosa glance, widows or sterile children of the woman and innocents, like sorceresses who must be “delivered” and “you know” of the energy of the dark. The acrítico east scapegoating is gaining impetus more than always before due to African apparently irredeemable the economic situation of the life of sub-Sahara. They wash the brain to much sub-Sahara African people frustrated to think that their important enemies are not corrupt officials of the government, political cruel of the government nor his, personal, incapacity to work and to explore best of its potentials in “here and now” world. something in the belief that has machihembrado Candy-self he is “witches” in his families and their homes that are been working against their spiritual fortune. In agreement with the “prophesies”, they give unfortunate the expiatorios chivos, those defendant of being sorceresses, two options: anyone to confess to countless his “sins” atrocious; and ahórrese/se gives or risk that is killed, that in the majority of the cases means to be paved with stones to the death. The options are not barren; most of the victims do not have yet just a short time to compose their minds in the trajectory to follow, because in fact any of these precursors of the supplies of the sorceress-slaughter a easy way to traverse. In fact, anyone of them is able to take to the discriminations of all the classes, social exclusion and, in the majority of the cases, death appearing of paving with stones, isolated life, suppression of opportunities, among others. As we said previous, the belief in sorceresses is as old as the humanity but the sorceress-slaughter, (that means the act of the sorceresses of the slaughter), more especially possible in sub-Sahara Africa, is a recent phenomenon. In the old days, “African; witches” is not killed but the offered sacrifices and are not appealed to enjoying their aid in all the efforts. And no African sorceress-slaughter of the aid of the society in any form. The modern sorceress-slaughter has its root in the Roman catholics of the mean-ages Europe.The, the Vatican City(db/gae) or Santa Sede “Kingdom”, was the first a to begin and to popularize the business of backwards be-moved the sorceress-slaughter with the decree known like papal Bull: affectibus of the desiderantes of summis of the Innocent the VIII of 1484 and also the two other Dominican inquisiciones, known like the Maaleus Maleficarum 1486, that both did not prohibit to use of the torture to break down the resistance of which they are obstinate. The taxable punishment even includes in that then seizure of the characteristic and of the death. Aside from the catholic, the English government with its 1542, 1563 and 1604 acts of the also legitimate parliament the sorceress-slaughter based mainly on the belief popularized by the papal bulletin. The belief is that the sorceress does not have ninguÌ n charitable paper in the community. History also has sorceress-slaughter began it in France in 1232 but Scotland did not reach until 1566. Although they were moved backwards not officially, the hundreds of women also would obtain burned in Norway’ northern city of s of Bard in 1600s early. And length after it had died down in Italy and Great Britain, the persecution continued especially in the continent in France and Germany in by the end of the 1600. A deductible fact based on history is that the accusations of the witchcraft are generally spiteful, little scientific and report written in thin paper in nature. How, for example, one can know “ witch”? And how can one be certainly an alleged person is guilty of all the imposed atrocious accusations of the crime? How can one be certainly the accusations are not tactical mere of the persecution? Â These questions are absolutely important for a critical glance in the catholic criminalization of the witchcraft, for example, will demonstrate that it was directed in attacking the Cathars that rebelled against the church, being Gnostics and Manicheans; they were accused to be against the vote against the church the society, therefore they condemn to be tortured, mutilated and absolute to be killed. Â is nevertheless today pitiful in Africa to observe that something that progressing, the continent is returning in the unproductive activities of the European mean-ages. Therefore, the continent bedeviled today by all the indices of the sub-developing that characterized the European mean-ages, where they have taken. Although it does not have been where the sorceress-slaughter moves backwards legally in sub-Sahara Africa, yet governmental activities, and the one of its agents, have not demonstrated to conformity with good modern scientific sense and the will necessary and hard sufficient to promote the human rights of all, without concerning the accusations. For them they have been allowing shepherds and its type to continue, without any serious challenge and processing, with its detrimental campaigns and falsification bothers prophesies that have taken to the mutilation of the invertebrate women majors, ojerosas and hungry and, unfortunate, of innocent adolescents, all in the name of its being “witches”. The deductible implications of this practice, witchcraft and sorceress-slaughter, are numerous. Here they are some of them: 1. Campaigns religious that popularized and that blamed the witchcraft by all the afflictions have taken to the slaughter of the countless women, who are secret economic supports of the family in their family and denied to many children the occasion to grow normally due to the tied stigma, of being “small witches” .2. The houses and the characteristics also have been burned or witches.3 has been touched based on accusations of the perceived community leaders’ incapacity to help “find” the community. Due to the predominance of the belief, something that ignited work and cooperates with the government in the efforts of the extirpation of the poverty that many African sub-Sahara monks have resorted to witchdoctors advisers, or the Sangomas, for sanctification.4. The belief also has prevented the growth of and the cultivation of the scientific research that is necessary for the scientific and technological breach in contemporary Africa.5. Finally, the belief must perpetual continue being predisposed sort, an astute way to continue with the malevolent traditional attack against the people of the women, discriminatory and fictitious. The main consequence of the aforesaid one is that the belief in witchcraft has prevented the growth of the loosen creativity and has made it many African sub-Sahara ones to back down unnecessarily to but, only visiting shepherds, the alphas (witchdoctors Muslim) and the Sangomas/Babalawos (witchdoctors traditional) to reject and to clean of the “curses or family jinx” to drag them. The thin rent, something that happened wisely occurs these the modern day “fraudsters” who mounts in the great cars for the “spiritual; services protections” provided. In some cases, micro-it finances the loans have been used in the financing “witchcraft that cleans rituals” something that the business of the small scale that was disbursed stops. The effect of these on poverty will not be improbable if one can pause briefly to examine critically its effect on the execution of the policy of the extirpation of the poverty. How for example, a man can who is ja
