A FRENCHMAN HERE, A FRENCHMAN THERE

Two violent Islamist insurgent groups in Somalia have agreed to a hostage sharing agreement.

Two Frenchman were kidnapped this week from their hotel in Mogadishu and turned over to the Hizbul group.

But the Shabab group wanted the hostages, and threatened to go to war with Hizbul over it.

Eventually a compromise was reached and Hizbul gave one of the hostages to Shabab. Now Hizbul and Shabab each have one Frenchman.

See how we can all get along if we just try?
