I am watching it now on TV news. Praying for a good outcome. Love to all our Aussies, Jan

If we forge a pray chain maybe we can bring the world back to reality. Bless all the people involved and give them courage and intellect to handle this situation.

I live here in Australia and had not idea this siege was happening. Have had a look at the TV News, three people have escaped or been let out. They have no idea how many hostages are still in the café. Marg

Early morning here in S. Africa. I have Sky News on. My thoughts are with all the hostages.

Five have now escaped. I feel for those still in there and their families.

my husband was in a meeting just one block from the Cafe , his building was in lock down till 3,30 pm ,its so good to have him home now ,I pray the folk still left in the Cafe all get out safe and sound

That is so upseting! I pray people in the cafe come out safely!

It is a very terrifying time to be in the city right now, I am very thankful my eldest daughter doesn't work in there on Mondays but fearful for all the other Mothers and Fathers and extended families of the hostages waiting for the outcome we all are praying for..

It's 9.23 pm now & still ongoing. There have been 5 people who got out so far & they are saying it could last for days yet. I live in the out back as a lot of you know but am originally from Sydney, really scary stuff.........
Irene

prayers for all that are involved.
