There is no news of the German humanitarian, whose name does not appear in the news - he disappeared on 11 April last year -. The same is true of the American hostage, a certain Jeffery Woodke, who was taken from his home in Abalak near Tahoua on 14 October 2016. On that occasion, a soldier and a security officer, both Nigerians, were killed. As for their names, few or none of them have been taken into consideration, they too have disappeared like many others. Unpleasant to say, but it is good to be honest as much as possible.
