French hostages released in Cameroon

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 19 April 2013 | 15.21

SEVEN French hostages kidnapped in northern Cameroon in February have been released, according to a government statement read on national radio and television.

Cameroon state broadcaster CRTV said the hostages, who were being held by Nigerian Islamist militant group Boko Haram, "are all safe," but did not give further details.

Tanguy Moulin-Fournier, an engineer with the GDF Suez energy company based in Cameroon's capital Yaounde, was abducted with his wife, four children and his brother near Cameroon's border with Nigeria on February 19.

Boko Haram last month ran an audio recording of Tanguy Moulin-Fournier, the father, in which he seemingly asked President Biya to free detained members of the al-Qaeda-linked group.

Boko Haram is believed to include a number of factions with various interests and shifting demands.

The group has in the past called for the creation of an Islamic state in Nigeria, where corruption is deeply rooted and most of the population lives on less than $2 per day despite its vast oil reserves.
