Fidel Zavala was kidnapped by an extreme group in southern Paraguay called the Paraguayan People’s Army on October 15.

Although it has been over a month since Fidel Zavala’s kidnapping, Paraguay just recently announced on Thursday November 12, a plan to rescue Zavala. No details have been leaked as to why the government has waited a month to act.
