French NGO denies Sudan kidnap reports
The French aid group Action Against Hunger (ACF) on Friday denied a Sudanese media report that eight of its workers had been kidnapped by armed men in the country's troubled western Darfur region. "There was indeed a security incident on February 2 on the outskirts of Al-Feshir (western Sudan). Two of the six vehicles in the convoy were seized, but the rest left without difficulty," a spokesman for the group told AFP. "No one was injured and no one was kidnapped," he said.
"Er, you'd like to interview them? They're um...washing their hair right now."
Sudan's official news agency SUNA reported Friday that eight aid workers thought to belong to ACF were kidnapped Thursday near Al-Feshir by armed men linked to rebel movements in the region. SUNA said the team had called their Al-Feshir office to say they were in danger and failed to make further contact.
