KHARTOUM - Sudan said on Wednesday it would issue arrest warrants for child trafficking against six French aid workers who were released after being pardoned by Chad for abducting 103 children.
Sudan’s minister for social affairs, Samia Ahmed Mohamed, told Reuters 18 of the children were Sudanese. N’Djamena had still not agreed to return six from a holding camp in the east of Chad and she said she feared for their safety. “A group of Sudanese lawyers will bring charges against the kidnappers for a crime they were not tried for -- child trafficking,” she said.
The six from the ZoeÂ’s Ark organisation were sentenced to eight yearsÂ’ hard labour by a Chadian court last year and were allowed to serve their sentences in France. |
