This combination of photos provided by the Washington Metropolitan Police Department shows six Burundi teenagers who were reported missing on July 19, 2017, after participating in an international robotics competition in Washington. The two girls and four boys ranging in age from 16 to 18 are, from top left, Richard Irakoze, Kevin Sabumukiza, Nice Munezero, and from bottom left, Aristide Irambona, Don Ingabire, and Audrey Mwamikazi. Esperence Niyonzima is the director of Iteletique in Burundi, which sent two teens. She said Monday, July 24, the teenagers probably left because life is hard in the East African nation, not because they feared insecurity at home. Parents she spoke to “were not concerned.” (Washington Metropolitan Police Department via AP, File)
