A Franco-Australian national was kidnapped in Chad on Friday, October 28, the government of this Central African country announced in a press release on Saturday.
He was taken away “by as yet unidentified individuals”, in the province of Wadi Fara, in eastern Chad, near the border with Sudan, explain the Chadian authorities, without giving further details on the circumstances of this abduction. They claim to have “mobilized all security and human means to get hold of the kidnappers and find” that man.
The Chadian government presents this Franco-Australian as an employee of Oryx Park, an animal park of nearly 78,000 km2, managed by the organization Sahara Conservation Fund. The only French hostage currently known in the world is journalist Olivier Dubois, kidnapped in northern Mali more than 18 months ago.
