Return As I write these lines, a English military aircraft is flying over the Algerian territory, bringing back to Barcelona to two English who have been sequestered for almost nine months by the terrorist organization Al Qaeda in the Maghreb. I do not know when to be posted on the blog this text, because my "moral kidnapping" continues and never entered into my own blog when I'm in Algeria. I guess those who read the short version and open to all the blog will stay with the desire to know the details of my kidnapping.
not write every day, as in the past because I have the feeling that my efforts bring an image of Algeria away from the stereotype that this beautiful country must receive the incomprehension of people that I selfishly competing interests. Yes, occasionally leave a comment out of pure rebellion, because I never yielded to moral blackmail and I'm not going to do now.
published this post, it will be thanks to a friend to be hanged, because I did not get into my blog while in Algeria. If someone intended to coerce, has played in bone.
Another time, another day, I will make the readers up to date with some details about my private life. Now I think it is timely to reflect on what I think about the kidnapping of al Qaeda happily finished.
already commented at the time that I am absolutely opposed to negotiating with terrorists, to accept any terrorist blackmail. I understand very well that the families and friends of a kidnapped person do everything humanly possible for his release, including the payment of a ransom. I never understood that Euskadi has accused employers to pay the so-called "revolutionary tax", which is the money required by mafia methods by ETA, through intimidation. You paid for has not done so freely, but under duress and therefore can not be accused of doing something that was against his will in any case, the State should assume responsibility for its failure to ensure safety.
This understanding with family and friends I can not in any way extend to the Government, which can never give in to terrorism. In this kidnapping in the sands of the Sahara, the attitude of our representatives like me pathetic. To sample, the Minister of Interior of Spain in Morocco a few hours ago, sitting in a chair far lower than its Moroccan partner, allowing him smiling this affront to that office represents. Soon after, at a press conference, answering a question on government transfers to the hijackers and the ransom more or less these words: "We had a goal, which was to return home safe and sound and that goal has been met. " A saying that silence gives consent. Do we want more!
has recently been tried in Mauritania who organized the kidnapping of the English, and the verdict was guilty. Despite being accused of committing a crime against the English, the English authorities have not made themselves known as an accusation in court. Nor has heard from the Attorney General or the Court, as interested in prosecuting crimes committed by foreigners abroad if they are sufficiently media. Following the guilty verdict and reduced the sentence to the hijacker, the masquerade is forged from extradition to your country, but Spain at any time request the extradition. From there, follow the release and kidnapping and killing, with funding and sponsorship of the Government of ZP.
More than one person asked me about the relationship between this kidnapping and Algeria, if it is safe for expatriates. I did not want to answer the duration of the hostage situation for anyone thinking wrongly that handling confidential information. I think now I can tell from what I have come to know. Well, not now. Better leave that for tomorrow.
