Chaos and cannibalism under Congo's bloody skies

'The soldiers had red eyes, and they were singing and dancing. They slaughtered the priest, cut him to pieces, removed his heart and liver and cooked them. The rest of the group had to pay money or eat the human flesh to be allowed to leave. Another four men, three women and three children were killed.' Among the dead was a pregnant woman who was gutted.

In Congo for the past 50 years tales of cannibalism have been apocryphal. Today they are a norm - what better way to sow terror into the hearts of your enemies than to instil the fear that they could be eaten?

Cannabalism the norm? Hard to believe, in the 21st Century.

Let's not be insensitive toward other cultures and norms.

Celebrate multiculturalism!

i wish this was a joke. it's difficult to believe that these kinds of horrors exist.

[zarf]

Beats the usual eating of the bland wafer I guess.

Lol...seriously this is messed up. Now if only we could send Michael Moore there...what a banquet that would be ;).

[fhayek]

What do you get when you arrive unfashionably late to the cannibal's dinner party......the cold shoulder.

Diversity is our Strength!

....and if I kill you and eat your heart and liver I gain your strength.

Can't we send the libs over there to reason with these people? I think that our modern conflict resolution techniques would be a real hit. They could do a "ropes" course and that silly thing where you take turns catching each other.

This detail just in:

Apparently, he tasted like chicken!

"Let's not be insensitive toward other cultures and norms". Yes, we absolutely MUST NOT judge other cultures. After all, haven't they been trying to brainwash us into believing that all cutures are at least equal to, if not superior to, OURS.

"Eddie?"
"That's a rather tender subject around here."
"Anyone for another slice?"

[sarasmom]

Toss lots of money at them to "cure" AIDS.
Surely that will help these people....

[ecurbh]

And for dessert...a box of Farmer Fannies.

lets do the time warp again

[Centurion2000]

Sounds like the Vatican would have a case with mobilizing a contingent of Swiss Guards to go after these animals.

Don't change the title of articles. Thank you.

It's not the 21st Century in Africa. It's not really any century in Africa.
