Families anxious over safety of Indians kidnapped in Mali

TONY SAYS:
So listen to this crapola, alright? Three Indians, see? Three guys working in a cement factory in Mali – Mali! You ever heard of a place more… off the map? Sounds like a shithole, even for me.
Last Tuesday, bam, these guys get snatched. "Forcibly taken," the Indian government calls it. Sounds like a euphemism to me, more like “kidnapped by a bunch of goat-herding motherfuckers with AK-47s”. These guys, they weren't messing around; this wasn't some snatch-and-grab at a bakery, this was… professional.
Now, the Mali government? They're quieter than a rat in a meat locker. Typical. But, on the same day, some Al-Qaeda bunch – JNIM, or whatever the hell that stands for – takes credit for a whole bunch of attacks. Like a bunch of cockroaches scuttling for cover after you flick on the light, see? It’s all connected, capisce? These fellas probably work for the same capo.
And get this – there's 400 Indians in Mali. Four hundred! What the hell are they doing there, mining diamonds? Making samosas? Who the hell knows? But these guys were working for some Prasaditya Group. I don't know them but they sound like a bunch of cheapskates; I heard the company won't even put out a statement. Bunch of rats.
This ain't the first time this has happened, either. Remember those five Indians that got jacked in Niger a few months back? Same song, second verse. Dead soldiers, missing guys... It’s like a buffet for these savages, and Indians are apparently their favorite dish.
This whole Sahel region... they call it the "epicentre of global terrorism." Sounds like a real vacation spot. The Indian government is telling their citizens to be careful. "Exercise utmost caution," they said. Like that's gonna stop a bunch of crazed jihadists, these fuckin' amateurs… Maybe they shoulda said, "Don't go to Mali, you dumb fucks!"
I mean, the whole thing stinks. It's a messy situation, a real goddamn headache. You know, reminds me of that time we were trying to move that shipment of… certain goods… through Newark. Customs was giving us a hard time. Similar principle, right? Getting something valuable through some rough territory, only instead of electronics, it's…people.
The thing is, nobody knows where these guys are. The families are worried sick – and rightfully so. This ain’t some fender bender, this is serious shit. It's the kind of shit that keeps you up at night, makes you wonder what kind of world we live in. But hey, at least I got a good espresso, right? Makes this whole mess a little more bearable. So, what else is in the news?
