Next time the kidnappers might think about moving indoors with their hostage to avoid lions. :confused:. I don't think the lions "saved" her so to speak, I just think Lions showed up, the kidnappers got spooked and ran away leaving the hostage behind. Not nearly as sensational when you think of it this way.

In Ethiopia, kidnapping has long been part of the marriage custom, a tradition of sorrow and violence whose origins are murky.

The United Nations estimates that more than 70 percent of marriages in Ethiopia are by abduction, practiced in rural areas where the majority of the country's 71 million people live.


Nice. Even if the story is a complete farce, that fact makes it quite interesting. Gotta love these diverse cultures, eh? :roll:
