After the attacks they abandoned their aid work in the area.&nbsp;MSF Holland&nbsp;does not want to release the  nationality of the disappeared international staff worker, but ensures  that it is not a Dutchman. The German MSF is involved in negotiations  concerning the release of the staff. MSF works in Ade amongst Darfurian  refugees especially in a project concerning sanitation and&nbsp;clean water.  According to the&nbsp;local correspondent of Radio Dabanga, some armed men  entered Monday night the compound where the two aid workers are living.  They stole&nbsp;three computers and took some money. Apparently it was they  who kidnapped&nbsp;the two staff workers. Ade is in the homeland of the  Masalit, which frequently has been targeted by armed Arab tribes. The  new abduction started while&nbsp;the kidnapping of two Goal aid workers is  still continuing. They disappeared from Kutum area in North Darfur.  Negotiations are continuing to try and secure the release of these two  aid workers. A ransom has been requested but the negotiations continue.  They were kidnapped on the 3rd of July, 100 kilometres from El Fasher.  The two women, one from Uganda and another from Ireland, were working  when disappeared to a location unknown to the Government of Sudan. In  that case, some militias related to the government (\u2018Eagles of Bashir\u2019)  were involved. The Government of Sudan denies any involvements and talks  about \u2018highway robbers\u2019.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sws_supernormalaction\"><button on=\"tap:superwebshare-lightbox\" class=\"superwebshare_normal_button1 superwebshare-button-large superwebshare-button-square superwebshare_prompt superwebshare_button_svg\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color: #d52631;\" ><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"superwebshare-svg\"  fill=\"currentColor\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"0\"><path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M789.86,323.67c91.79,0,164.25-72.46,164.25-164.25S881.64,0,789.86,0S625.6,72.46,625.6,164.25c0,4.83,0,14.49,0,24.15L306.76,371.98c-24.15-24.15-57.97-33.82-96.62-33.82c-91.79,0-164.25,72.46-164.25,164.25s72.46,164.25,164.25,164.25c38.65,0,72.46-14.49,96.62-33.82L625.6,821.26c0,9.66,0,14.49,0,19.32c0,86.96,72.46,159.42,159.42,159.42s159.42-72.46,159.42-159.42s-67.63-159.42-154.59-159.42c-33.82,0-67.63,9.66-96.62,33.82L374.4,526.57c0-9.66,0-19.32,0-24.15s0-14.49,0-24.15l318.84-188.41C717.39,314.01,751.21,323.67,789.86,323.67z\" \/><\/svg><span>Share article<\/span><\/button><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EL  GENEINA (6 August) \u2013 One Chadian and one international staff member of  Medecins sans Frontieres-Holland were abducted Monday night (3 August)  from the Chadian border town of Ade, 120 kilometres southwest of El  Geneina, the capital of West Darfur.
