Two abducted French aid workers freed in Sudan
Two French aid workers kidnapped in Central African Republic (CAR) last year were released Sunday in the restive western Sudanese region of Darfur, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) announced.
Saleh Dabaka, spokesman of the ICRC in Sudan, told Xinhua that the two French aid workers, who were kidnapped in the town of Birao on CAR’s border with Chad and Sudan on Nov. 22, were working for the French aid organization Triangle.
“The two aid workers were handed over to the ICRC in an area near El Genaina,” the capital city of Sudan’s West Darfur State, the spokesman said, adding that the ICRC had provided medical assistance to the two released persons, who were on the way to Khartoum on a passenger plane.
He did not elaborate the details on the release of the two French aid workers, or the identity of those who kidnapped the French aid workers.
