Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted March 3, 2007 The Master will inevitably be busy the next couple days, weeks or perhaps months to save his regime's credibility in the eyes of Galbeedka since Cafars supposedly kidnapped several Westerners in their region now. What will the minions, in the meantime -- including the Father of Stooge -- do the upcoming days? Where will they get the full instructions from? Will fawning dependants be taken care of by Mesfin, the other Tigrey Xabash foreign minister and business as usual? The Master is unavailable, what should be done, what should be please him, what should be stayed away lest he is offended. Questions, questions, questions. Five Britons including diplomats and embassy staff were among 15 Western tourists being held by kidnappers in a remote corner of Ethiopia dubbed the "land of death" because of its extreme climate. The Britons, who have links to the British embassy in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, were in one of two convoys intercepted on Wednesday in the barren Afar region close to the border with Eritrea, which is roamed by separatist rebels and bandits. Whitehall sources said last night that there was a "national security dimension" to the kidnappings and that the government's emergency committee, Cobra, had met over the incident. The second group, comprising between seven and 12 French citizens, was believed to be being held by the same kidnap gang after both convoys were stopped in the Danakil Depression, a spectacular desert bowl that contains the lowest point in Africa more than 500 metres below sea level.
