security forces who had defected to the Seiko SPA841P1 watch insurgency

“It was like being in a prison inside a jail inside another jail,” Mr. Aubrière said. “Everybody will try to catch you. You have no friend.”With fresh, puffy scratches up and down his arms from the cactus bushes he scurried through, Mr. Aubrière somehow made it to the presidential palace shortly before dawn on Wednesday and was free. He managed to regain his sense of direction, he said, by following the stars, and he was shot at several times.“This is a fair game; they play, they lose,” he said of his captors. “They can’t complain Seiko SPA841P1 Ladie's watch about me. I didn’t hurt anybody. I didn’t kill anybody. You play, you lose.”Mr. Aubrière, 40, recounted his daring midnight escape in an interview on Wednesday afternoon at a dilapidated African Union military base in Mogadishu, where he was awaiting a flight back to Paris, via Nairobi.

He and a colleague — who is still in captivity, being held by a separate radical Islamist group — had come to Somalia on behalf of the French government to help train the security forces of Somalia’s fledgling government. But the two were snatched from a Mogadishu hotel on July 14 by rogue security forces who had defected to the Seiko SPA841P1 watch insurgency.Mr. Aubrière insisted emphatically, several times in an excited voice, that his half-dozen heavily armed captors treated him like a gentleman, never hitting him, always feeding him and sure he had plenty of water.
