That they were Norwegians spies. Truth: Rubbish and nonsense.
That they formed a criminal conspiracy to destabilize Congo. Truth: Is there even one sensible person who believes that?
That they were in Congo to commit an assassination. Truth: Two Norwegian boys on a motorcycle.. hello.
That they were going to rob the Kisangani bank. Truth: Laughing out loud. And out of the country on a motorcycle 600 kilometers, with some hundred Congolese Franc that can’t be exchanged abroad.
That they were going to steal an Okapi. Truth: It’s a big animal that looks kind of like a horse. I supposed they were going to carry it on the back of the motorcycle that would’ve been a pleasant journey?!
That they were in contact with the diamond mafia. Truth: Did they have a single diamond on them when they were captured? No. Rubbish and nonsense and lose allegations outside of the real world!
That they were going to buy a weapon to escape. Truth: A pure fictional story created to hurt their case.
One wouldn’t believe that it was Norwegian journalists and now an author that could make up all the nonsense that has come up in this case. It’s just so ridicules, and so stupid that it’s hard to believe. Very often it’s presented with bold headlines, like it’s the truth. There may be a few readers who believe everything they read, but hovers just a little bit it’s just stupid. I wonder what the next conspiracy theory will be. Here are some suggestions:
Secret agents from the rain forest fund.
Secret agents from the political party for farmers to spy on local agriculture.
Secret agents from Securitas to check out the local market. Pictures of them in the Securitas uniform were actually used as evidence!
Maybe some journalists have an even better imagination. Good luck!
