Nine-year-old from Uganda: disappeared after Christmas market appearance!

Frankfurt, Deutschland - A worrying incident overshadowed the Frankfurt Christmas market: A 9-year-old from Uganda disappeared after her appearance on the Römerberg. The police received clues on Friday evening, December 6th, that the girl had appeared on stage around 6 p.m. before she was reported missing in her hotel in Eschborn shortly after 11 p.m. Fortunately, the police were able to give the all-clear a little later: The girl was found on Saturday and had stayed with relatives, as fr.de reported.

This incident happened in a context in which the safety precautions at the Christmas market were already exceptionally high due to increased terrorist hazards. One day after the fatal attack in Strasbourg, the authorities were determined to protect the visitors. The police checked the area with a visible presence - officials with machine guns and civil police officers were on the way to ensure security. Despite the threat of terror, the mood among the visitors remained relatively carefree. Many expressed that they did not want to take the joy of the Christmas market from the horrors of the world, such as fnp.de

The investigation into the girls' disappearance has been under high pressure since then. It remains to be seen whether additional security measures can be derived from the incident. The police continue to look for further information on the events that have led to the disappearance. In view of the current security situation, it shows how important preventive measures are in such situations.
