Khartoum, March 18: Aid worker Gauthier Lefevre, kidnapped in Sudan’s Darfur region, was released on Thursday after 147 days in captivity, an International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) spokesman said.
Lefevre, who has dual French and British nationality, was the last foreign hostage being held in the region.
“We are extremely happy that he has been released. This has been the longest kidnapping in the recent history of Darfur,” ICRC spokesman Saleh Dabbakeh told Reuters.
