another kidnapping of so many children has there been political fallout. i would say that this has been a very emotional moment for the country just a lot of shock a lot of disbelief like. it's enough that students are kidnapped in mass was in your lifetime to see that happen twice very soon then you begin to risk questions of all to. see because i mean it's one thing to kidnap one person where hundreds of students are being kidnapped. raises questions of security of every single person regardless of where you leave whether you even the north north east of the northwest where. terrorist groups
