"Missing symbolises a very important person or something meaning a lot to the family who has disappeared. They are a kind of pillar to the well being of the community. Therefore all resources are mobilised, all attention focused on them (and their family as well) as the community will not have peace until that person or thing is found.

"This shows how strong is the philosophy of community life in Africa is."
