I have been following this case for 2 weeks now, especially in Norwegian websites. In the Republic of Congo, a surreal scenario is playing out: Two Norwegian citizens, Tjostolv Moland and Joshua French, have been jailed, apparently due to involvement in a murderscene in which an innocent cabdriver was killed. The Republic of Congo claims the Norwegians killed the driver over a money dispute – the Norwegians claims they were nothing more than witnesses to the crime, perpetrated by unknown gunmen in the middle of the jungle.
Congo now claims – the state of Norway is morally and economically responsible for any and all wrong-doings their citizens do abroad, and nonw sues Norway for 500billion dollars..
