Lack of Impartiality
This article is highly emotive, obviously written by an individual with a clear personal involvement and strong convictions in the subject, and is replete with allegations or anecdotal evidence, with no official viewpoint stated or substantiated records of any definite case or arrests in connection with these alleged horrific crimes. It seems to be a stand-alone article, with no links or mention from the main article on Uganda or other relevant topics. This is surely not compliant with Wikipedia standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Billtorbitt (talk • contribs) 08:17, 16 January 2014 (UTC)


 * The news article by charismanews.com (George Thomas, The Country Where Sacrificing Children Is a Thriving Business) should not be included. The source is highly biased. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.138.125 (talk) 01:18, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Deleted both charismanews sources and the statements made by them. --Hob Gadling (talk) 03:38, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Reporting 2010 Statistics in 2009?!?
The first sentence under the first subheading seems to insult the reader's intelligence. I would considered the possibility of a typo, if only one digit needed be mistyped to create this result, but to mistype either 2008 as 2010, or 2011 as 2009, (0 and 1 being at opposite ends of the keyboard), would seem to require either effort or confusion.

The link in the first inline citation following the statement produces the error message: "Error establishing a database connection". The title in the citation mentions a year, but doesn't specify whether it's the year of the statistic or the year of publication, and considering the quality of the article's statement, it seems to me that even the citation may not be correct, so I'm tagging it.

 * Since there is still no content at the cited URL, the server now flags it as 404, the Internet Archive's only archive of the page shows the same, and no attempt has been made to correct the citation or the content attributed to it, I'm deleting it. Downstrike (talk) 07:22, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Plagiarism Deleted Comment
The latest addition to the article was apparently plagiarized from http://www.gideonfoundation.com/. If by chance, the content was submitted by the copyright holder, that presents a conflict of interest and is therefore in violation of Wikipedia policy.

Further, quotations must be indicated by quotation marks, and the source must be cited for any quotation. A primary source, such as the NGO's own web site, is unacceptable, because that also presents a conflict of interest. If the NGO has been recognized by the UN, a quotation from a UN source or a news article would be a good improvement to this article. Downstrike (talk) 07:00, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Strange Lede
"and until the beginning of the 21st century also happened occasionally in Uganda."

does this mean that it is not done in Uganda any more? Where is the evidence that there is any "until"? And where is the evidence allowing the "occasionally" quantifier for Uganda whereas the issue is framed as "sub-Saharan Africa"?

Unless these strange qualifiers and quantifiers can be substantiated, I propose the lede be simply that

"In Uganda and other countries of Sub-Sahara Africa ritual mutilations and ritual murders occur regularly.[1][2][3]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gschadow (talk • contribs) 20:32, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
