Ambassador Kaso entered the municipal building, and after four hours, a 50-man extrajudicial squad led by a group of local soldiers fought their way through the protesting crowds and managed to rescue the personnel of a French mining conglomerate.
These individuals looked truly dreadful, with a foul stench emanating from everyone from head to toe.
The employees of the mining company were temporarily housed at a special operations base outside the city.
The company executives, on the other hand, were escorted to a hotel next to the municipal building. After cleaning up, they were brought to a small building at the city hall and conducted negotiations in a conference room, witnessed by Ambassador Kaso.
