Every year on January 10, the country celebrates National Voodoo Day, which includes occultic ceremonies attended by political leaders seeking favor from voodoo shamans. \"Voodoo is its name in Benin, but these types of demonic groups can be found throughout West Africa,\" a front-line worker said. These groups are sometimes called \"secret societies\" and have names like the Poro and Bundu in Sierra Leone and the Ogboni in Togo. Members of these groups regularly attack and persecute Christians whom they see as a threat to their dominance."}
