Armed men kidnap peacekeeper in Sudan's Darfur

None

Armed men abducted a civilian peacekeeper in the capital of Sudan's North Darfur state on Thursday hours after UN Security Council envoys arrived in the city, the mission said.

 

It was believed to be the first time kidnappers had seized a foreigner in El Fasher, a development certain to dismay aid officials in Darfur who have pulled staff back to the main towns to escape a wave of abductions in remote locations. (Reuters)
