BAMAKO: Four Moroccan truck drivers, who were kidnapped in January in West Africa by the Daesh group and held captive for months, were released late Sunday, Malian authorities said.
The truckers were traveling 3,000 miles to transport electrical equipment from Casablanca to Niamey, the capital of Niger, before they were reported missing on January 18, 2025, in northeastern Burkina Faso, near the border with Niger.
The Malian government said in a statement read on public television late Monday the truck drivers were released “safe and sound” Sunday evening.
