Update: Aid Workers Released, Charity Rethinks Darfur Mission

Four workers from Doctors Without Borders who were kidnapped last week in Sudan’s Darfur region were freed Saturday, Reuters reports.

Local officials said the humanitarian workers, one from Sudan and the rest from other countries, had been seized by a group protesting the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for the country’s president, Omar Hussan al-Bashir, who is charged with crimes against humanity.

Doctors Without Borders officials said they are reconsidering the medical charity’s operations in Darfur in light of the worsening security situation.
