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 men’s hands, making their penises disappear. The rumors were spread rapidly by text messages on cellular phones, and diverted the public’s attention from a breakthrough in negotiations in Kenya between Sudanese Vice President Ali Othman and SPLA leader John Garang.

#2  Ditto to what paul said. These sheeple can't think rationally for themselves because the dictators think for them. Mao/Marx would be proud!

#1  Ya think that this little rumour can get started in Saudi, Iran, or other state, or have they evolved enough where idiotic things like this that are accepted at face value in Khartoum won't take hold.
