is a cunt.
“More than 80 people were killed between October 2025 and July this year following false accusations about what is termed “genital theft”, the BBC Global Disinformation Unit has found after gathering data from police forces across six African countries.
The killings are linked to rumours that a simple tap on the shoulder can cause a man’s genitals to shrink or disappear. They are being fuelled by widespread misinformation on social media.”..
The BBC Global Disinformation Unit strikes again..thank goodness for that.
“They were shouting that we had stolen someone’s genitals and we didn’t have any way to escape because there was a huge crowd,” Tanzanian mechanic Boniface Mgala told the BBC about his ordeal in April when he was badly beaten by those convinced he was a genital thief.”
“On the same day that Mgala and his friend were attacked, commercial photographer and businessman Michael Silavwe says he witnessed another similar assault in Tunduma, where he says anxiety had been building after videos about stolen genitalia had begun circulating on TikTok.
Outside his shop he saw people running and says he learned that a man had been accused nearby and was being beaten – and later set on fire.
“After they set him on fire, the police arrived at the scene and everyone scattered and ran away,” the 23-year-old told the BBC.”
Why these lovely countries are not amongst the most popular tourist destinations in the world escapes me.
