What people are saying?

Fair Stoic Sad. While I agree that Christian missionaries prey on the natives, kidnapping them is not the solution. These predators should be prosecuted but under law that is non-discriminatory and just.

Immortal Melanin More likely the “missionaries” kidnapped some children and the people apprehend them and freed the children. This is the most likely scenario to anyone who understands how international child traffickers operate.
