AMI Leads Talks to Free its Workers

A French aid group is leading talks to free two of its foreign workers snatched in Sudan's Darfur region more than a week ago, after kidnappers told the government to stay out.

The workers, one Canadian and the other French, from Aid Medicale International (AMI) were seized from their compound in the south Darfur settlement of Ed el Fursan on 4 April 2009.

On the other hand, head of protocol at Sudan's Foreign Ministry, Ali Youssef Ahmed, points out that, "It is the NGO that is receiving the demands and answering and we are completely out of the picture."
