he was frail and somewhat forgiveful and remained the father of the nation for south africans and in several trips he made to the hospital over the past two years, he was in his own way preparing his family biological and extended, for his final return home. he was 95. we know this life is not permanent in this form here. when you the news broke, despite his age and despite knowing his health situation, no one wanted to let him go for what he represented, even though that continues as he s passed away. i think so many people wish it could continue even more intensely. but i ve got rn e-mails from friends in south africa who were doctor and people who like you said watched his progression and they say even though they ve been writing to me saying i think he s going but now that he s gone, they are shedding tears and it s a moment that very few of us have ever experienced.
monitoring this situation, we re on top of it, what does that really mean? with getting out what would be americans that are caught in the crossfire of that situation? well, there is a bit of sensitivity here. the government have got rn burned in the past when they ve worked with the european governments, gone in and paid very large ransom payments in order to get their hostages freed and as a result they ve gotten tons of money and perpetuated itself over and over. so the algerians are reluctant to allow direct involvement and reluctant to let too much information out. i think the reality is, though, the algerians are facing a difficult situation. i think there s going to be very disturbing details that are going to come out. it s a matter of time. but in the meantime, algerians are struggling with the remaining kidnappers. supposedly the leader of the kidnappers is dead. a number of prominent members of jihadi groups with them are dead. it s not clear how many of these
