| 2015-01-20 |
| [EURONEWS] A French charity worker was kidnapped in Bangui, the capital of Central African Republic, on Monday, the French Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The 67-year-old woman was working for a charity providing health and education support to Central African villages, the ministry said. The French ambassador in Bangui is in contact with the archbishop's office in the city, which has started negotiations with the captors, it said. U.N. peacekeepers in Central African Republic have nabbed Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! a big shot of the anti-balaka militia, wanted for crimes including murder, rebellion, rape and looting, the country's senior prosecutor said on Sunday. It was not clear whether the kidnapping was connected to the arrest. A front man for the Caritas charity in Gay Paree told Rooters a pickup truck carrying the Frenchwoman, who does not work directly for Caritas but for the Catholic church's local health desk, and two churchmen from the Holy Ghost congregation, was intercepted in Bangui earlier this morning. |
