Congo's Pygmies allege cannibalism crimes
Army, rebel and tribal fighters - some believing the Pygmies are less than human or that eating the flesh would give them magic power - have been pursuing them in forests, killing them and eating their flesh, the activists told a news conference Wednesday.
There have been reports of markets for Pygmy flesh, the representatives alleged.
'In living memory, we have seen cruelty, massacres, genocide, but we have never seen human beings hunted and eaten literally as though they were game animals, as has recently happened,' said Sinafasi Makelo, a representative of the Mbuti Pygmies in Congo.
