In Afrika suicide due to hate, racial or religious affiliation is a new phenomenon.
Political and economic instablity had created a wave of new religious movements imported from neighboring countries. These movement carrying new regressive and hostile messages penetrated deep into the minds of naive susceptible individuals.
Such messages under the umbrella of mal interpeted religion convey racial and religious intolerances. Young unemployed and illiterate individuals are the main targets for propogation of such prophecies and theologies. Illegal drugs or merchandise traffiking raise the fund for sustainance of the such movements. Inadvertently innocent civilians turn to be the victims of such suicide acts.
What runs in the minds of these young individuals is difficult to explain. Life is a gift of our Creator. Human cannot and should not decide your right to live. Killing people through suicide bombing has no logial or ethical ground in the theologies of any religion on earth. There must be an underlying mental or psychologial disorder to justify killing human being. Killing is a crime.
