Notice the way they are calmly sitting there. I can just imagine they're saying to each other, "See, when we show them we aren't a threat, they'll let us go. People are reasonable when treated with passivity and respect for their culture. This is all a misunderstanding. Communication is the answer."

Does any one know what the gist of what they were saying in them last moments? The UN guy was pretty calm, talking alot, obviously did not know he was about to be shot in the head.

Guess the tribe's "safe space" and the SWPL "safe space" are two different things.

"Shh bby is ok... Our African brothers are friendly, peaceful people; we're safe. It's not like they're white lacrosse players from Duke or frat guys from UVa or something."

According to an article in the New Indian Express, the American do-gooder inquired of the interpreter as to why the captors seemed to be angry.

The article says, "The video showed Michael Sharp and Zaida Catalan surrounded by seven people speaking Tshiluba, the main language of Kasai, armed with machetes, sticks and one with an old gun. Through an interpreter out of shot, the armed men promise to show the location of mass graves in the bush. Seemingly worried, the white man asks the interpreter in French with a marked accent: "Why are they armed and angry?" The two foreigners are quickly forced to sit on the ground before orders are barked and they are shot. One of the victims is then beheaded."

They're both walking in bare feet, though I presume their captors forced them to remove their shoes.
