From Loudenian Crier

Security Service Spokesman Theo Yakah reported that Datii’s absence this morning was because she had ” been captured by the FARC rebels and they are demanding a ransom.” He further stated that he would be entering into negotiations for her release. No further information about these negotiations was released, but Datii’s safe return demonstrates a successful conclusion. Nevertheless, the question remains of whether negotiations with a group recognized by Loudenia as a terrorist organization, especially negotiations involving a ransom, were the best solution to this crisis.
