Over the last year, there have been increasing reports of cannibalism in Uganda. Reports of cannibalism have been documented since at least 2011, when Dr. Heike Behrend, a professor at the University of Cologne, wrote a book on the practice, but the issue recieved a renewed focus after a particularly grisly incident in March.

Vocativ recently sent Brooklyn-based filmmaker Matthew Goldman to Uganda to check out the situation.

In Uganda, Goldman met Baboola, a self-professed cannibal, who told him about the situation in Uganda and why he eats human flesh.

It's Always Something (IAS)

Idi Amin(Ex-president Of Uganda)

"Amin became the subject of rumours and myths, including a widespread belief that he was a cannibal.[57] Some of the unsubstantiated rumours, such as the mutilation of one of his wives, were spread and popularised by the 1980 film Rise and Fall of Idi Amin and alluded to in the film The Last King of Scotland in 2006, a movie which earned actor Forest Whitaker a Best Actor Academy Award for his portrayal of Amin.[58]"

Add a touch of Ebola, gets interesting.

Anyone who has ever lived and worked in sub-Saharan Africa knows that one of the best kept secrets of the “Dark” Continent is the extent of cannibalism within its population. It’s just been considered politically incorrect and racist to discuss the subject.

When I worked in West Africa twenty-five years ago, the population at that time was estimated to be 40% HIV positive. When that degree of HIV is found in populations that practice cannibalism, what could possibly go wrong?

In my humble opinion, there is a strong possibility that there is a connection between a population with an HIV compromised immune system, cannibalism, and Ebola.

from a 1914 edition of the Catholic encyclopedia:

“In 1895 the first two Christian marriages in Ubanghi were solemnized before the vicar apostolic. The mission spread to the surrounding villages and later to the Alima, 300 kilometres up the Congo ; still higher up are the stations at Liranga (at the junction of the Congo and the Ubanghi), founded by Fathers Paris and Allaire on 3 April, 1889; at Bangui (1125 miles from the coast), established among the cannibal Bondjos and Buzerus and pastoral Ndris, by Fathers Sallaz and Rémy, in January, 1894; and at Sainte-Famille among the Banziris, in 1895, by Father Moreau, — this is now the headquarters of the Prefecture of Ubanghi Chari.”

” Near these stations have been established “free villages” where natives escaping from the clutches of the cannibal or slave owners can reside in safety. Bishop Augouard was awarded a prize of $3000 in April, 1912, by the French Academy of Moral and Political Sciences in appreciation of his work during thirty-four years in French Congo. “

The supposed ‘cradle of Life’; yet millennia since, they are still a 3rd world status and believe in magic vs. science (wasn’t there a recent attack AGAINST the Ebola containment?!)

Two cannibals were eating a clown and one asks: “Does this guy taste funny to you?”

Bill Clinton in the office of an African Dictator. The dictator claps his hands and six beautiful women walk in. “The Russians taught us this version of Russian Roulette. Pick one one she gives you oral sex.” Bill smiles but he says he doesn’t get it. The dictator replies “one of them is a cannibal”

America, 238 years of history, put a man on the moon.

Africa, thousands of years of history, still pee in their drinking water.

The guy is already showing symptoms of “Kuru” or the “Shaking Sickness” which has been shown to be a retro-virus that afflicts cannibals, usually acquired from eating infected brains.

I am not making this up.

"The guy is already showing symptoms of “Kuru” or the “Shaking Sickness” which has been shown to be a retro-virus that afflicts cannibals, usually acquired from eating infected brains."

That's (Kuru) in New Guinea.

I read about this years ago when a doctor went into 'the wild' with his anthropology wife and observed the natives eating the brains of the deceased elderly. It was done as a sign of respect and hope to claim the wisdom of the elders. His studies eventually determined that they were passing along a prion disease...like mad-cow disease.

What do you call a cannibal who ate his mother in law?

Gladiator!

Truth is stranger than fiction: chefs in some country somewhere are concocting `human hamburger’ using non-human flesh but attempting to flavor it based upon the accounts of actual cannibals describing human flesh as they knew it.

Yechhhhhhh!

BTW, the Wisconsin based dish known as a “cannibal sandwich” is really not what it sounds like.
