KHARTOUM, Aug 30 (KUNA) — Khartoum announced Sunday its refusal to pay any ransom for the gunmen who abducted two civilians working for UNAMID, the joint UN-African Union peacekeeping mission in Darfur, western Sudan.
Official spokesman for the Sudanese Foreign Ministry Moa’wya Khalid Osman told reporters “Our position is firm.. we will not negotiate with the kidnappers nor respond to their pressure”.
He described the kidnapping as a “terrorist act”.
Osman revealed the formation of a fact-finding mission from the Foreign Ministry, the military and intelligence in the Darfur region to inquire and investigate the incident and to work to secure the release of the abductees.
According to press reports in Khartoum, the kidnappers had demanded a huge amount of up to one billion Sudanese pounds for the release of the hostages. (end) hha.tg KUNA 301909 Aug 09NNNN
