Cannibals are from New Guinea, not from the Congo.

The Korowai tribe of south-eastern Papua could be one of the last surviving tribes in the world engaging in cannibalism, although there have been media reports of soldiers/rebels in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Liberia eating body parts to intimidate child soldiers or captives.

I wish FReepers would do some some basic research on these matters.

Well, a German (Armin Meiwes) was not only eating people but putting ads out (the adverts were in a Cannibalism website that was there for the purpose of linking eaters with those mentally deranged enough to want to be eaten). The 'Maneater of Rotenburg' was finally caught. Does that mean Germany is in the same category as Papua New Guinea? After all, they have even made finding 'meat' quite efficient ...home delivery service!

There is a difference between a series of tribes that routinely engaged in cannibalism (and suffered the ill-effects, such as CJD) and is located in the South West Pacific, and where the eating of a human was part of the culture, with 'media reports' of rebels in the Congo 'eating body parts to intimidate child soldiers or captives.'

As I said, I wish FReepers would do some basic research on these matters.
