Four aid workers with the Adventists Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) are being held in a Government house in Khartoum, a humanitarian source in Sudan told IRIN. Aid agencies have had no access to the group, or any explanation from the government as to why they are being held. “We are hopeful that they will be released soon, but also concerned for their well being,” the source said.
The four aid workers - two Kenyans, one Ugandan, and one Sudanese - were abducted on 8 March in Kajokeji, southern Sudan, by pro-government militia loyal to Gordon Kong Choul. Their release was secured on 16 March, after the Sudanese government sent a team to negotiate with the militia, the source said.
