gendarme

Guinean singer Elie Kamano, who lives in exile, said on social media Sunday that two of his children, age 14 and 16, plus a 16-year-old nephew and his brother, a gendarme, had been abducted.

Eventually two French gendarmes spotted them through the undergrowth and walked, slowly, forwards.

At first the gendarmes declined to intervene and stood watching from the shore.

We counted eighteen French gendarmes watching them from the shore, declining to intervene.

For all the calls for greater security at schools, this crime took place literally under the noses of armed gendarmes.
