    Well, that’s not good. Very likely this was the ruling party’s action, but we can also blame Trump since he claims that he is in charge there (but only a fool would believe it).

      Not an expert but it could well be factional inflighting between those that want to cooperate with Trump and those that don’t.

    This article is very unclear. Why is the word kidnapped in quotes? Was he not kidnapped? Where is he? Was there a ransom? Why did the government respond by accusing him of violating his parole?

    I do not understand what happened.
