Amanda Lindhout Freed at Last

November 25th, 2009

I was skeptical at first. It’s just that there have been so may unfounded rumours surrounding my friend’s abduction in Somalia. But finally, after 15 months of captivity in one of the world’s most dangerous countries, Amanda Lindhout is free. She’s not out of the woods yet. First she has to leave Somalia, which should happen later tonight. Then she faces a potentially difficult recovery period where she must process 15 months of abuse. She does, however, have a strong support network of friends and family to help with that.
