SAS,
I agree, it's just what etienne was saying. MEND is quite well organised and has a definite agenda (though its view on kidnapping has changed a few times in recent months). It's certainly made some people here decide to look elsewhere or quit.
But why do you think our comrade Mr Froggy Pilot will be singled out?
We have had another kidnapping today. Five Chinese who may have been working on repairs to a vandalised power line were taken this morning. Initial indications are that this may be a kidnapping for money by youths from the local community
