RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin sparked uproar yesterday by saying Africans had a history of CANNIBALISM.

Perhaps the uproar will convert to outrage and action when the uproarious discover Putin was right.

Africans do not just have a history of cannibalism, it is still practised today is some countries.

In some locales, human flesh is sold for consumption.

Let's hear the uproar.

So Putin isn't a very good diplomat, what's new?

The pair struck a deal after Mr Blair agreed to Mr Putin’s demands that aid was linked to Africa’s move towards democracy.
