I am trying to see whether it's possible for me to get the release of some people bit by bit.

It will take a lot of persuasion ... that's why I am not promising a miracle at all. We should be prepared for any eventuality because these people will cling to these hostages tooth and nail, I'm sure.

The GAM has decided not to give the list of names of the former rebels,

Sometimes I go out disguised, but people still recognize me, so I find there is no point in even trying. It would be nice to get away from it, from time to time, but the fact is, there is no place on earth where I can go unrecognized.

That's the network mentality. They're always chasing the polls, trying to second-guess what the people like.

The supply is not there. All people have on hand is all they're going to have. We are just trying to keep our customers happy.
