Words just fail me.......
From MEMRI:
During September 2003, mass hysteria spread through Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, which was ultimately quelled by police intervention and statements made by the health minister. The panic was caused by rumors of foreigners roaming the city and shaking menâs hands, making their penises disappear. The rumors were spread rapidly by text messages on cellular phones, and diverted the publicâs attention from a breakthrough in negotiations in Kenya between Sudanese Vice President Ali Othman and SPLA leader John Garang.
