Mw. Ssemakula, To the best of my knowledge, cannibalism has not been a practice in the rituals and diet of the peoples of northern Uganda.
However, back in the days, it was common for parents to keep their children in line or scare them from straying too far into the unknown with tales of man-eating communities hailing from what is today southern Sudan. I remember clearly how my elders used to show us a mountain named Kanyabadrilatra (literally, the two-headed-cannibal), across the border in Sudan, where the flesh-eaters allegedly dwelled. You bet we were scared stiff. Years later, I lived in Sudan, and had the opportunity to travel through the so-called cannibal territory, including the eponymous mountain. I found no saber-toothed Nearndathal there. If this practice existed at all, even in the margins of our societies, it was possibly in the far distant past. vukoni ---- Original message ---- >Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2002 17:03:09 +0000 >From: "J Ssemakula" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: ugnet_: Vukoni - Kony Eats People.
