Some good news to come out of Somalia. A French man who was kidnapped by Hizbul Islam last month along with a companion was able to escape his captors and find safety. Unfortunately his companion is still being held.
Let's not forget that Amanda Lindhout and Nigel Brennan have been held captive for over a year now. May they be in our prays. BBC
Marc Aubriere was kidnapped from a hotel in the capital, Mogadishu, along with a colleague last month.
He told the BBC Somali Service that after fleeing his Hizbul-Islam captors he walked for five hours until he reached the presidential palace.
French foreign ministry officials say the second hostage is still being held. [...]
"I escaped at midnight last night. The guards were very tired and sleepy. I didn't kill anyone or injure anyone while escaping," Mr Aubriere said.
