PARIS - Two French humanitarian workers kidnapped in November were freed in Darfur on Sunday, the French government said.
Olivier Denis and Olivier Frappe were detained in the Central African Republic, which neighbours Sudan, on Nov. 22, President Nicolas Sarkozy's office said in a statement Sunday.
Sarkozy praised their release Sunday afternoon and thanked "all those who participated in this happy outcome," but released no details about the liberation. Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said the two were released in Darfur.
The men worked for Lyon-based Triangle Humanitarian Generation, whose efforts in Central African Republic include improving water supplies and building schools.
The group's director, Christian Lombard, said the two former hostages will head to Khartoum on Monday. "There was no ransom, at least not in our case," he said. He would not provide details about how they were freed.
The Central African Republic, one of the world's poorest countries, has been seriously affected by fighting in neighbouring Sudan's Darfur region.
Sarkozy also called for the quick release of "the last French hostage currently held in the region," Gauthier Lefevre, an employee of the International Committee for the Red Cross kidnapped in Darfur on Oct. 22.
