After the ASG demanded the pull out of troops, they should have freed one of the ICRC workers but they did not. and now, they're demanding that the government should pull out the whole troop until tomorrow at 2:00 pm, or else they will behead one of the red cross workers.
Do you think they're just using the hostages to be able to have every demand they say? what do you think? should the government do everything they demand in order to save the 3 workers? will the ASG free one hostage as they promised?

Why are we giving in to their demands to begin with? Can we not just take the hostages out of their hands w/o "begging" to them?.. This has always been the case..

Hi AikaruJ!
I just don't know why the government had agreed to this demand. Remember their "no demand" policy in handling cases like kidnapping. Right now, they have shown the ASG group their weaknesses and the rebel group will definitely abused this. It's like the government had given them their hands already but the ASG wanted their whole arms.
I just don't know why the military offensive against rebel group are always in full blast when their are cases like this only. If we really wanted to get rid of them and avoid repetitious things like this to happen again and again, the military should take them seriously and have a well planned offensive drive against them.
