NGO Action Against Hunger Confirms 6 Aid Workers Kidnapped in Nigeria
|
[AnNahar] Charity group Action Against Hunger (ACF) confirmed Thursday that six aid workers had been kidnapped in northeast Nigeria
... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border...
, shortly after a jihadist group released a video purporting to show them.
The Gay Paree-based charity, which provides food aid to poor communities around the world, said a staff member, two drivers and three health workers working for a local ACF programme were in the video.
The group said it "demands the liberation of its staff member and her colleagues."
"These are humanitarian workers who chose to devote their lives to helping the most vulnerable communities in Nigeria and they are only motivated by the values of solidarity, humanity and neutrality," it added.
Jihadists aligned with the Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group released a video showing the captives on Thursday.
In the three-minute recording, a woman wearing a bright blue hijab says she is an kidnapped aid worker. She addresses the camera in English while seated in front of five men she describes as her colleagues.
