Negotiating with Kidnappers the French way: #kidnapping of two french Nationals in Niger.

While condoling the families and loved ones of the two young men kidnapped and murdered in Niger, credit must be given to the French government and the French Special Forces for the successful neutralisation of the criminals within 24 hrs. Many terrorists groups seem to be shifting tactics to kidnapping innocent people as a way of expressing their grievances  and as a way of killing two birds with one stone. They find this act not only gets attention but is also lucrative as heavy ransom payments have been reported lately.
Negotiations with terrorrists only seem to boost their ego and encourage others to employ similar tactics. The french people are busy debating wheher their govt has changed strategy when they should be congratulating them for taking decisive action.
