Hostage Ingrid Betancourt is Freed and talks on Dailymotion
Huge news here is the liberation from the FARCS of Ingrid Betancourt after 6 years of captivity in the Columbian jungle. You can watch a video of her speaking on Dailymotion after her relase. She looks wonderful. Everyone feared for her health. A picture released last November was alarming.
Her family in France (daughter, son, husband and ex-husband) moved heaven and earth, the French government and the press, relentlessly for 6 years. Her mother spoke to her via Columbian radio every day (she was allowed a radio). Her "imminent" liberation was mediatized several times, the disappointments where huge. Wonderful she is finally free and looking so well.
