BAMAKO: A Franciscan nun from Colombia kidnapped by jihadists in Mali in 2017 was freed Saturday , said a statement from Mali's presidential office.
In the official statement Malian strongman Colonel Assimi Goita assured the Malian people and the international community that"efforts are underway" to secure the release of all those still being held in Mali."We prayed a lot for her release. I thank the Malian authorities and other good people who made this release possible," the archbishop said."She is in good health, thank God. They sent me pictures and she looks well," he said.
There were irregular reports about her over the years, including at the beginning of 2021, when two Europeans who managed to escape captivity reported that she was well.It was a letter written in capital letters"because she always used capital letters" containing the names of their parents and ending with her signature, he told AFP earlier this year.
