Donald Trump orders Uganda to find bandits who kidnapped US tourist

So much news so little time! US President Donald Trump has time for everything.

Trump has turned to Uganda for his latest tweet on the abducted US tourist on Elizabeth park.

Last week’s kidnapping of US citizen Kimberly Endicott and her guide Jean-Paul Mirenge, who were released on Sunday, is on his mind.

The two who were abducted were set upon as they drove through the Queen Elizabeth National Park on the evening of 2 April.

Ugandan police said then that kidnappers used one of their phones to demand a ransom of Ksh 50 million.

The Tourism board on Sunday confirmed that the two were safe but did not clearly indicate if they paid the ransom.

Uganda must find the kidnappers of the American Tourist and guide before people will feel safe in going there. Bring them to justice openly and quickly!
