Kim Endicott and her local driver were abducted last Tuesday in a wild park. Following their kidnapping, a ransom had been demanded for their release.

On Sunday, the pair were reported to have been released and returned to Ishasha Wilderness Camp, an area owned by the Wild Frontiers Camp.

A ransom was believed to have been paid for their release.

This is how you grow the kidnap/ransom industrial complex.

Maybe her next trip is on a chartered yacht that will sail close to the Somalian shore.

If a ransom was paid, then the US should immediately bar any travel to Uganda as Americans are now at risk of kidnapping. If the US was involved or approved the ransom, shame on us as this is now sanctioning kidnapping of Americans anywhere.

I agree.

That said, I would sell EVERYTHING I HAD to get one of my nephews and nieces back.

If it was my wife..I might sell the waffle iron for a few bucks

Pay the ransom, fine. Then send in the Sicilians.

“Uganda is not nor has ever been on my radar for a vacation!”

I can think of at least 20 liberals to send there, with a one way ticket. That is just the # of libs saying they are running in 2020 to be our president. There are hundreds more after those 20 are gone, to be sent to Uganda.

“That said, I would sell EVERYTHING I HAD to get one of my nephews and nieces back.”

my problem with all of this is that anyone who is stupid enough to go to a lawless shithole like Uganda pretty much deserves whatever happens to them ...

Who’s idea to go on this African Tour with no weapons?
Dumb.

On other websites, many commentors suspect the tour guide to be in on the deal. Notice he was not harmed either, not even a rifle butt to the jaw. He wants his cut too.

Isn’t Uganda on the do not travel list? If she went, she is on her own.
