Kidnapped Western Journalists in Somalia Freed, Arrive in Kenya; Questions Linger

1) Was their assignment critical? 2) Were they naïve? 3) Will they get book deals out of this mess? 4) Will their ordeal be made into a movie?


[Pictures Credit:  the Jawa Report blog -- Australian Nigel Brennan, left, and Canadian Amanda Lindhout -- a former model and make-up artist, right, in undated photos looking pretty, happy, healthy and possibly quite naïve, taken prior to their '08 abduction.]


[Picture credit:  Canadian-based blogger/still image of video footage obtained by Al Jazeera in July '09 -- Lindhout at left, Brennan at right ... Gunmen are unseen in the background, huddled behind the two.]

DATELINE AT LARGE (DM) -- The pair of lucky Western freelance journalists -- one a writer/reporter and the other a photojournalist -- who were freed in Somalia after a nightmare experience on Wednesday arrived safely at Wilson Airport in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, in a chartered plane on Thursday, according to The Associated Press.

Amanda Lindhout, a Canadian reporter and apparently a former waitress, model and make-up artist prior to becoming a journalist (as reported by the CBC), and Nigel Brennan, an Australian photojournalist who never sold a photo to a major outlet, had arrived in Mogadishu (video), Somalia's apocalyptic and bullet-pocked capital, in August 2008 to report on the plight of hundreds of thousands of displaced Somalis squatting on the city's outer fringes because of fighting between several militarized groups, including Al Shabaab and the Ethiopian Army.

The story has been well reported on over the duration of their captivity (most particularly -- and quite comprehensively, by the journos-at-large cooperative blog/site, Frontline Club). 

However, one question continued to make the rounds in journalist, aid worker and diplomatic circles:  "Did they know what they were getting into?"  The resounding answer, privately, to this question among these circles has been, "No."

It is understood by DM through multiple sources that neither of the pair had been to Mogadishu before.  At the time they undertook the assignment, on a freelance-pitched basis for the Paris-based France 24 English, the country was ratcheting upward off of the danger scale and was considered a no-go zone for most Western aid workers and journalists.  Though one of the two had worked in Iraq and Afghanistan before (Lindhout), for example, they were apparently unprepared for dealing with the second-by-second, anything-can-happen-at-anytime atmosphere of the chaotic Horn of Africa nation, especially its seaside capital city.

At the onset of their capture by the kidnappers, the rumor mill in Nairobi centered on the potential recklessness of the pair's decision to go to Mogadishu with no prior experience there and no emergency parachute to take advantage of, as most staff correspondents and shooters with the major newspapers and wire services have, in terms of cash and clout.  Although that doesn't always mean much, as was the case with veterans Colin Freeman and Jose Cendon, who were held for 40 days while on assignment for the English newspaper, The Daily Telegraph.

When reporting in Somalia today, journalists require heavy backing by their representative news outlet and CASH -- lots of it.  The money is needed to hire a virtual Guns-of-Navarone security detail, mostly freelance guns for hire.  (Check out this April '09 piece in Foreign Policy magazine by New York Times East Africa correspondent/bureau chief Jeffrey Gettleman, headlined 'The Most Dangerous Place in the World.')

In somewhat the same fashion as the two Current TV reporters, who admitted wrongdoing in their decision to cross the border from China into North Korea and ignored the warnings, Lindhout and Brennan pushed forward, thinking they wouldn't be one of the Western-journalist casualties, like veteran journos of Somalia Hansi KraussKate Peyton, Martin Adler (picture), and many more ... not to mention the Somali journalists who have paid the ultimate price in performing their duties.

[Check out these two guys -- Western freelance "journalists" -- who sold a larger video piece to Current TV, but cut out a "side" project on how easy it is to buy guns in Mogadishu (DM editorial note:  these guys represent what not to do in Mogadishu)... and by the way, Euna Lee, one of the two Current TV gals who had to be saved by Clinton, has signed a book deal, beating her co-captivity partner to the punch.]

But there was no Billy Boy Clinton coming to Lindhout's and Brennan's rescue -- no big-wig former prime ministers or leaders from their countries stepped up to the plate to make the public attempt to free them.  In fact, the Australian and Canadian embassies in Nairobi were coming under increasing pressure to do something about the situation, as were their leaders in Ottawa and Canberra.

Then, out of the blue, some people came to Lindhout's and Brennan's rescue.  Various reports, yet to be truly confirmed, say that something between $500,000 to $1 million ransom was paid for the pair's release.  (Now it's come out that the parents of both Brennan and Lindhout may have borrowed money and took loans against their homes to reach the amount needed to bail the pair out of their debacle, in addition to the kindness of an Australian millionaire.)

For the moment, the two can get healthy again, and find a publisher to tell sell their harrowing-and-daring story to for a six-figure advance payday!  Good luck, Ms. Lindhout and Mr. Brennan.

DM caveat:  It could have happened to anyone, really, but freelancers are at particular risk.  Somalia is in a state of anarchy and until its problems are addressed, on land, rather than at sea, it will remain the case study and poster child of failed states (FP magazine lists it as #1 in the world in their 2009 index). 

UPDATE, November 30, 9:12 am:  The New York Times and The Star (Toronto) have also written pieces similar to the post above by DM, published today and yesterday, respectively.

  1. I agree, they were irresponsible idiots but when you are having a go at fellow journos, getting the capital city of Australia right might add a bit of credibility to your article. The Australian Federal government is not in Sydney and never has been.

  79. Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog
    platform are you using for this website? I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  80. Howdy admin, I just wanted to give you a brief heads up that
    your Web address: http://www.blogger.com/comment.
    g?blogID=948311116161100734&postID=3839991275758766997 is being flagged as a potentially malicious
    internet site in my browser firefox. I would highly suggest
    having someone look into it. You can easily lose a lot of readers due
    to this issue. Best of Luck.

  81. This design is wicked! You definitely know how to keep a reader amused.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was
    almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost.
    ..HaHa!) Excellent job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.

    Too cool!

  82. Amazing blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a
    little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid
    option? There are so many choices out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any tips? Many thanks!

  83. Good day. I am wondering if you would be interested in doing a link swap?

    I notice your website: http://www.blogger.com/comment.
    g?blogID=948311116161100734&postID=3839991275758766997 and my blog are primarily based around the same subject matter.
    I'd really like to swap links or perhaps guest author a post for you. Here is my personal contact: bonnie_lehmann@arcor.de. Be sure to contact me if you're even remotely interested.
    Appreciate it.

  84. Greetings! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone. I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this issue.
    If you have any recommendations, please share. Many thanks!

  85. Imagine a beautiful room that draws gasps of appreciation when people enter the room. If you are thinking of your living room, adjust your perspective and take a mental walk to your shower http://www.plumpinguk.co.uk/showers.html. A shower has endless possibilities to make a statement and ensure an invigorating wash every day.
