By Ahmet Gencturk
ANKARA (AA) - A German aid worker was freed after being kidnapped in Niger in 2018, German media reported Saturday.
Jorg Lange was first handed over by his captors in northern Mali to Moroccan mediators on Thursday. He was then taken to the German Embassy in the Malian capital of Bamako.
He was kidnapped April 11, 2018, in western Niger, on the border with Mali, by armed men riding a motorcycle.
At least four Western hostages are still being held in the Sahel, including Frenchman Olivier Dubois and German Catholic priest Hans Joachim Lohre.
