[{'start': '85.231', 'end': '87.231', 'text': 'Sunday, May 12, 2024, city of Djelfa: the capital of the State of Djelfa, Algeria.  This city is located about 300 km from Algiers, has a population of about 300,000, and is located in a semi-desert area.  At approximately 8:00 p.m., authorities responded to a call from a citizen reporting that the only person living there had been holding a man captive for nearly three decades.  The police entered the house and searched every corner under the watchful eye of its owner, who remained calm and self-assured, arguing that such a complaint was unfounded, since he had lived alone there for many years.  As the authorities were about to leave without having found anything, they heard a noise coming from under the floor, which was covered with hay and dry grass.  They removed them and found a lid.  They lifted it up and found something as surprising as it was chilling: there was a man about 45 years old, with a beard and long hair, although his appearance was clean and there were no visible signs of physical aggression.  I was scared, shaking, and couldn\'t get words out.  The moment he was discovered, the owner of the house lost all his apparent calm and tried to flee, but he didn\'t succeed because the authorities arrested him immediately.  The man they found in that basement was Omar Bin-Omran, who had disappeared without a trace one morning in 1997, when he was 17 years old and was on his way to school.  More than 27 years had passed, and Omar was now 44 years old...\nHello!  How are you, friends?  Welcome back to our channel, to watch a new video, a new case.

I also invite you to leave your comments, always keeping in mind that when doing so, they should be respectful, especially toward the victim and their families.\nWithout anything else to add, let\'s begin:\nOmar Bin-Omran was born in 1980, in the province of Djelfa, located about 330 km from Algiers, the capital of Algeria.  The exact date of his birth is unknown.  Many of his relatives were actively involved in the Algerian Revolution between 1954 and 1962. Little is known about his life before his kidnapping, as he was barely a teenager when this terrible ordeal began.  The most relevant information known about his family and his childhood and adolescent life is that he lived during the so-called "dark decade" of the Algerian Civil War, which lasted from 1992 to 2002. This civil war resulted in the deaths of more than 200,000 people, 20,000 kidnapped people, and 15,000 disappeared.  In 1998 there were many massacres in the area where Omar lived.  It was for this reason that, upon his disappearance, his relatives thought he had been murdered in the midst of those riots.  This war was between Algeria and Islamist rebels, and began in 1992 when the government canceled the 1991 national legislative elections, as it was clear that the FIS (Islamic Salvation Front) would win, under the excuse that this group would end democracy.  Shortly afterwards members of this group were arrested, which sparked the civil revolution.  The government was victorious after the Islamic group was reduced.  This civil war had devastating economic and social effects on the Algerian population.  It took the general population several years to recover, as it was a decade of constant fighting and devastation of entire cities in that country.\nOmar took refuge in his family environment, and his main activities were attending the summer school in his city, where he took classes daily.  I had a dog that I spent a lot of time with and that I loved very much.  One morning in 1997, 17-year-old Omar was on his way to school at the height of the Algerian civil war.  The young man never made it to school and never returned home.  His family, seeing that it was time for him to return home and he hadn\'t arrived, began searching for him and immediately filed a complaint with the Gendarmerie.  They then started putting up posters all over the city, hoping someone might have seen it.  All the investigations within the family\'s reach were conducted, such as checking with Omar\'s colleagues to see if they had any information about his whereabouts.  None of this yielded positive results, but the family did not give up and continued their search tirelessly.  They also offered a financial reward to anyone who could provide information about the boy\'s whereabouts, but that also proved unsuccessful.  Time passed and there was no information about the boy, so his family began to think that he might have lost his life in the midst of the armed conflict.  But the reality was different: Omar was just 200 meters from his home, and no one could have imagined he was there, except for his dog, who tirelessly circled the house, following Omar\'s trail, for several days until he was poisoned.  This house belonged to a man about 34 years old, who lived alone and worked as a janitor.  He had the appearance of a reserved, quiet, introverted and unsociable man.  Some time later it was learned that he was the one who ended the life of Omar\'s dog to avoid being discovered by the animal.   Omar\'s family spent days, months, years searching for him without success, gradually losing hope of finding him alive, except for his mother, who never believed in his death. She died of cancer in 2013, certain that her son was alive and asking her family to never stop looking for him.\nOmar\'s discovery occurred as a result of a family argument.  The kidnapper and his brother had a heated dispute over an inheritance, which prompted the brother of the man holding Omar captive to start writing messages in which he implied that his brother did not want to sell the property where he lived, which belonged to both of them through family inheritance, because he was using it as a prison for one person.  These repeated and constant posts caught the attention of Omar\'s family, since the address of the property was just 200 meters from the family home.  They began to pay more attention to the man whose house Omar\'s dog had insisted on hanging around years earlier, and who was later poisoned.  Authorities received an anonymous complaint days earlier, and the young man\'s relatives then appeared before them, arguing that they wanted to file a complaint against the man because they suspected the person held captive in the house was Omar.  In response to all this, the alerts were immediately activated, and the Attorney General of Djelfa Province ordered the Gendarmerie to open a thorough investigation. The search warrant for the kidnapper\'s home was executed on the night of May 12, 2024, at approximately 8:00 p.m.   They\nsearched the house completely and found nothing, but as they were about to leave they heard strange noises under a floor that was covered with hay.  They proceeded to remove it and found a lid on the floor.  They lifted that lid and found a man in a well, about 45 years old, trembling and scared.  The place was dark and very dirty.  He had been in those conditions for almost three decades, which is why he reacted that way when he saw the police.  Access to water and food had been scarce during all those years, and contact with the outside world had been zero.  The moment of the rescue was documented with a cell phone, the images being somewhat blurry, but the deplorable condition of the man was still captured.  "B.A," the alleged kidnapper, initially appeared calm and self-confident to the authorities.  Maybe you thought they would never find Omar.  But at the very moment that access to the hiding place where he was holding the man was discovered, he attempted to escape.  But the authorities arrested him immediately.  At that time he was already 61 years old.  He was immediately arrested and later brought to trial for the following crimes: kidnapping and detention without a warrant from the competent authorities and outside of the cases permitted by law.  He was also charged with human trafficking in the presence of a circumstance of vulnerability.  Meanwhile, Omar was immediately transferred to a hospital for medical and psychological attention.   The authorities proceeded to question him as well.  Omar, who had disappeared when he was 17, was now 45 years old.  Little by little, he calmed down and recounted everything he had experienced for nearly three decades in that dark and dirty confinement.  He said, among other things, that from that place, through a small hole that served as ventilation and overlooked the street, he had seen his family pass by on several occasions.  His answer when questioned about why he hadn\'t spoken or called for help from his relatives when he saw them was surprising: he said that his captor had cast a spell on him and taken away his voice, and that because of that, he was able to remain silent for all those years.  He also said that he couldn\'t even open the doors, because according to him, there was a higher power that prevented him from doing so.  It\'s worth noting that in that part of the world, there are deeply rooted beliefs regarding black magic and witchcraft, as well as paranormal events.\nOmar\'s rescue was celebrated as a major event both in his hometown and beyond, and within a few months, the news spread around the world.  Later, statements were released from a cousin of Omar\'s, who said that what had happened had been a true tragedy, and that they thanked God for finding him alive.  The family reunited and shared their joy on social media after having given up hope of finding him.  His mother had died of cancer in 2013, and she had asked them to please never stop searching for him, because she knew he was still alive.  His cousin Kaled said that Omar was physically fit and mentally agile, as he recognized him immediately, and admitted that it would take time for him to recover mentally.  The police continue their investigation, trying to determine why Omar was kidnapped by this man, and have even considered the possibility of mental health problems, among other things.  B.A. lived a normal life all this time, surprisingly keeping the boy\'s kidnapping a secret.  There is no information about his life, and his identity has not been disclosed to maintain his privacy until the trial concludes and his guilt is proven.  All your details will then be released.\nAt the time of his rescue, Omar B.A. was 61 years old and a municipal employee.  When he was kidnapped, he was working as a janitor, and he always lived alone.  It is also presumed that there may be another person involved in the kidnapping.  Algeria is a country whose official religion is Islam.  This religion is very strict regarding the conduct of the people who practice it.  According to Islam, the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbids man from living alone, and punishes with death those who have intimate relations with others of the same sex.  That\'s why it was so surprising that B.A. lived alone, and that he had kidnapped another man, given that according to statistics, almost 80% of kidnappings are of women.\nAfter rescuing Omar, the investigation continued to understand the context in which B.A. lived and what led him to kidnap Omar.  Many neighbors testified that they saw B.A. buying food for more than one person, even though they all knew that he lived alone.  This was striking, but they never discussed it with the authorities.  He also never allowed anyone into his house.  To his neighbors, he appeared to be a kind, normal, respectful person, although not very communicative.  Statistics show that most kidnappings are primarily for sexual exploitation.  If this were the case, and since Algeria\'s official religion is Islam, which is very strict regarding intimate relationships between people, B.A. would be punished with the death penalty: executed, for having had intimate relations with a person of the same sex, in addition to holding her captive.   It\nis believed that up to six people were involved in Omar\'s kidnapping, information obtained through the interrogation of B.A.  These people were arrested and are also under interrogation.  The initials of the detainees are: BS, BH, BM, BC, YL and BD.  BH was remanded in custody, while another detainee with the initials YL is under judicial supervision.  It needs to be verified whether all these people were complicit in the kidnapping, or whether they simply remained silent and never reported the crime.\nUnder Algerian law, the penalty for kidnapping a minor is between five and fifteen years, plus a fine.  In this case, in addition to Omar being a minor at the time of the kidnapping, everything that happened over the course of 27 years must be taken into account: physical and psychological abuse.\nAmong the speculations that arose regarding the motives for the kidnapping, one that was widely considered was the presumption that Omar had been a "Suri Child."  Suri children have certain characteristics that identify them, such as: a straight line through the palm of their hand, heterochromia (eyes of different colors), spots on the iris, a vertical line through the tongue, light hair, white skin.  They have to have at least one of those characteristics to be considered a "Suri Child."  The favorite mark for sorcerers is the white line on the palm of the hand, and Omar had it, in addition to having light skin.  The origin of these beliefs lies in the fact that in ancient times in Africa, people would bury their treasures at the time of death and leave them in the care of the "Chen," who in the Oxidantal world are known as "the genies of the lamp."  According to beliefs and traditions, the Suri children were born to the Chen family, leaving them with the aforementioned physical features.  That\'s why sorcerers currently seek out Suri children to use their blood, psychic powers, and ability to find ancient buried treasures and extract them without being cursed.  Since the kidnapper was supposedly a sorcerer, that would have been the reason why he decided to kidnap Omar.  This information was obtained through Omar\'s statements, according to which B.A. had put a spell on him so that he could never contact his family.\nThis belief is very common in Algeria and Morocco, hence the high number of kidnappings of "Suri Children." They are victims of both routine kidnappings and murders, requiring their parents to provide them with greater protection and care than usual.  At the time Omar was rescued, he was wearing many rings that he claimed his kidnapper had put on him to exert power over him.  The authorities removed them, and after they were removed Omar began to talk and recount everything that had happened during those years.  Before his rings were removed, Omar did not utter a word and had no intention of fleeing.  It is believed that sheep were sacrificed to perform these spells, and Omar was found in a stable, surrounded by them.\nThis has been an unusual case, in terms of its content.  Generally, women are kidnapped to be held hostage and subjected to the most diverse abuses.  The hostage in this case is a teenager of just 17 years old, who led a normal life for a young man of that age: he attended secondary school, at a time when his country was experiencing a civil war that caused thousands of people to disappear and be killed.  Young Omar lived with his family in a quiet neighborhood in northern Algeria, located in the city of Djelfa.  Algeria is a country where Islam is the official religion, which has strict rules regarding the conduct of its practitioners.  Intimate relationships between people of the same sex are neither permitted nor condoned, so if they do so, they are punished with the death penalty.  That\'s why the investigation into why Omar was kidnapped by this man, who was twice his age at the time, is still ongoing.  If it is proven that the kidnapping was for sexual reasons, the kidnapper would face capital punishment, due to the religious beliefs of that country.  If not, he would still face a strict penalty, since kidnapping a minor and holding him captive for so many years is also strictly punishable by law.  The trial is still ongoing and the sentence has not yet been handed down, as this is a relatively recent case, but the person who held Omar captive is expected to face at least 30 years in prison.  It is also hoped that Omar will be able to reintegrate into society, overcome the traumas he suffered for so many years, and be able to live freely from now on, trying to recover that time by sharing with his family, who are happy to have found him alive.\nWithout anything else to say, I bid you farewell, hoping you have a wonderful day.  I also invite you to comment, and if you do, I ask that you do so respectfully.  Mainly towards the victim and their family.
