Kidnapped Aid Workers Located

Two aid workers kidnapped in Darfur have been located and are in good health. This is according to Sudanese officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

Sudanese minister for humanitarian affairs, Abdel Baqi Gilani, says the location of Irish national, Sharon Commins and Ugandan Hilda Kawuki, who were kidnapped from the office of the Irish aid group, GOAL, is now known. The minister added that the kidnapping is not politically motivated.

The kidnapping was the third of foreign aid workers since the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant on 4 March 2009 for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for alleged war crimes in Darfur.
