Three Sudanese employees of international aid agencies were released today in the troubled Darfur region after 32 days in captivity, peacekeepers said.
"They appear to be unharmed and in good condition," the African Union-UN Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) said in a statement.
Mustafa Abdalla Adarge, of the United Nations children's agency UNICEF, was freed along with two staff from the Irish aid group GOAL, Mohamed Abu Elgassem and Ahmed Elsayed, in North Darfur state's Kutum district, UNAMID said.
