IOM Continues Hunt for Aid Worker and Child Abducted in South Sudan

Lisa Schlein

   GENEVA - The International Organization for Migration is renewing its
   call for the immediate, unconditional release of a female volunteer and
   a four-year-old child abducted by armed men Sunday in South Sudan.

   The woman and child were abducted during a gun battle that broke out
   between two armed groups in South Sudan's Central Equatoria Region.
   Three IOM humanitarian workers, two men and one woman, were killed in
   the crossfire.

   Spokesman for the IOM, Paul Dillon, says the whereabouts of his
   kidnapped colleague and the child, who is the son of the slain woman,
   remain unknown. He adds all efforts are being made to secure their
   release and identify the abductors.
