I wish that were true but that's not the case. Somalis believe everything is the cause of jinn.Well we have the blessings of being muslims Alhamdulilah so we see them as normal people with an illness that affects their skin tone
You have a headache - jinn
Depression jinn
Stomach bug - jinn
Mental illness- jinn

I follow the Instagram page SomaliFaces where somalis share their story and one young man who was an Albino living in a refugee camp who's story made me cry when I first read it years ago comes to mind. I'll try to look for it.
Somalis are still incredibly ignorant unfortunately. Anything different = bad.
I hope this young man is doing well today.

Somalis are angels comparing to the Japanese.
in japan, any small mistake means that you don't deserve to be Japanese and the whole society will see you as a burden
Tanzania witch doctors eat Arms or use the arms of the albino kids for spells and stuff. Yep they will rip off the smell. I've never seen an Albino Somali person. Light skinned reer xamar are closest to Albin I've seen.

In the Somali Galbeed and Northwest Somali/a/land, the following terms san cadaale (masculine) and san cadlay (feminine) are insults that mean cursed skin. Perhaps it was intended for individuals with albinism, but it’s used to refer to white people in a derogatory way and as a putdown more generally.

I have lived in Somalia for many months and never have I seen an ethnic Somali albino.
All the albinos (quite a few) I saw were Somali Bantus (different ethnicity with different genes).
Albinism is extremely rare in Cushitic ethnic Somalis.
'' In Tanzania, albinos represent one in every 1429 births, a much higher rate than in any other nation. '' - Somali Bantus have roots from Tanzania.
