Paris,
August 29, 2009 – French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner says France
is still sending advisers to support Somalia's government and security
even though one French security agent remains in the hands of
kidnappers.
Kouchner says he knows nothing about when and if the agent will be
released. He says the man is being held by a group that is "not easy."
He told reporters in Paris on Friday that France is still sending
advisers as part of a pledge to help train Somali police.
He said he hoped the escape of another agent held by Somali kidnappers
earlier this week would not have any effect on the agent still held
hostage.
The agent, Marc Aubriere, escaped Wednesday after over a month in
captivity while his kidnappers slept.
