🚨SPANISH HOSTAGE TAKEN BY ISLAMIST EXTREMISTS – SMUGGLED INTO MALI
Madrid confirms a Spanish citizen has been snatched in North Africa, leaving the Foreign Ministry in full “no comment” mode.
The man was allegedly kidnapped in southern Algeria by an Islamist group and whisked off to Mali.
Because, apparently, a quick trip to Mali is what extremists call a getaway.
Spain is scrambling to “clarify and solve the issue,” which sounds a lot like “we’re panicking but trying to look cool.”
Oh, and as if things couldn’t get messier, this comes with a backdrop of Western Sahara drama—Morocco wants it, Algeria backs the Polisario Front, and everyone’s pointing fingers.
Global politics and kidnappings: a double feature no one asked for.
