Let me tell you a story
A man sent his brother (who lived in another country) some money. The brother needed some farming equipment and to put some money together because his daughter was looking to get married.
The money hit the brother's bank. The government found out about it and a militant splinter group sent the man's brother a very succinct message:
"Give us the money, or use it to buy coffins for your kids"
The man knew of other cases where this had happened, and knew that they would follow through on the threat. He couldn't go to the police since they wouldn't take steps against the splinter group. So he had no choice but to give up the money.
This all happened a couple of months ago. The other country was Sri Lanka. The man who sent the money to his brother was my dad.
