I always shudder when I hear things like this - those poor people. You never know what might happen to them. I hope they are okay.

History suggests that even if the ransom was paid these poor victims will probably still end up murdered, Arista.

I wish that a 'Full Metal Jacket' would find EVERY terrorist on this Earth.

It does seem crazy to go there with the warning in place. Do you think it's because some people think they are invincible and it would never be them it would happen to?

I have such mixed feelings on this. I feel so much for these people but they knew the risks and took them. Paying a ransom will only encourage this kind of behaviour putting more people at risk. At the end of the day they are adults who took a gamble that didn’t pay off.

That’s good news. I hope they appreciate how lucky they are and are more cautious in future.

That Local Ranger Lady
with them
was Shot Dead.

I think they were cautious,
but these terrorist gangs that
keep going to that Park
keep picking foreign tourists.



I would tell anyone , now ,thinking of going to
the Congo (DRC) to visit Kenya, Gambia
or South Africa instead

It’s very odd that there are no details about the release, the ransom must have been paid

I do not blame them
Press would hound them,
they watched the Female Ranger (aged 25)get shot dead.
Could be rich parents , helping or something like that.

Not Everyone wants to go on TV News.
