I wonder what important United Nations Councils Gambia chairs. Given that Syria is on the Security Council and Libya is on the Human Rights Committee and Iraq was chairing the non-proliferation or equivalent committee, I imagine Gambia chairs the International Centre for Science and High Technology (ICS) (http://www.ics.trieste.it/). For a full listing of the UN bureaucracy, visit this link: UN System (http://www.unsystem.org/).
But I digress. Surely you want to know what the fuck I'm talking about, right? No problemo....
Invasion of the Penis Snatchers (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=573&e=1&u=/nm/odd_gambia_penis_dc)
A film by Western Africa
BANJUL (Reuters) - A 28-year-old man accused of stealing a man's penis through sorcery was beaten to death in the West African country of Gambia on Thursday, police said. A police spokesman told Reuters that Baba Jallow was killed by about 10 people in the town of Serekunda, nine miles from the capital Banjul.
Reports of penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, with purported victims claiming that alleged sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear in order to extort cash in the promise of a cure. The police spokesman said many men in Serekunda were now afraid to shake hands, and he urged people not to believe reports of "vanishing" genitals. Belief in sorcery is widespread in West Africa.
Seven alleged penis snatchers were beaten to death by angry mobs in Ghana in 1997.
These are the human beings sharing the Earth with us.
