He was returninmg to his compound after a  fieldtrip to supervise waterprojects. Radio Dabanga learnt that he was  seized 40 kilometres from Geneina town in his ICRC marked car by around  ten gun men.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"><!--break-->The men took the Red Cross worker out of the Red  Cross car, leaving other ICRC staff behind allowing them to continue  their way, Tamara Al-Rifai, spokesperson of the ICRC in Khartoum told  Radio Dabanga. A local reporter of Radio Dabanga noticed that the  kidnappers were heading for the nearby border with Chad. This was  confirmed by a government official in El Geneina. The new kidnap case  happened few days after the release of two aid workers of GOAL after 106  of captivity. The kidnapping of two UNAMID-staff workers in Zalingei is  still continuing. It is the sixth kidnapping of international  aid-workers in Sudan. Most of the hostages were freed after some weeks.  All identified groups were allied with the government, some of them  became angry for being abandoned of government support. The kidnappings  started after president Omar al Bashir was indicted by the International  Criminal Court for war crimes. The government started expelling  international NGOs and simultaneously, a series of kidnappings happened.  The ICRC has&nbsp;released the name of the staffworker, Gauthier Lefevre. he  was head of the ICRC office in El Geneina. The ICRC says it ihas no  indication of who the abductors might be or of their motives. It is in  contact with the authorities and other parties with the aim of resolving  the situation as swiftly as possible. The family of the French worker  was informed of the incident immediately. The ICRC is calling for the  rapid and unconditional release of its kidnapped staff member.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/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>(Updated) \u2013 A  French staff worker of the International Committee of the\u00a0Red Cross  (ICRC) in\u00a0 El Geneina in West Darfur\u00a0was kidnapped  from his car this afternoon.
