KHARTOUM – A female American aid worker abducted in Darfur more than 100 days ago was freed yesterday, officials said, while three Russians were reportedly kidnapped in the war-torn region of west Sudan.
The aid worker for United States aid group Samaritan’s Purse, which named her as Flavia Wagner, 35, was kidnapped in mid-May in the village of Abu Ajura, in South Darfur state, along with two Sudanese colleagues who were freed after a week.
“She was freed a short while ago and is now at the home of the governor of South Darfur (Abdel Hamid Kasha), in Nyala,” Sudan foreign ministry spokesman Moawiya Osman told AFP.
