A Franciscan nun from Colombia kidnapped by jihadists in Mali more than four years ago has been freed, Mali's presidency said.
Sister Gloria Cecilia Narvaez was taken hostage on February 7, 2017 in southern Mali near the border with Burkina Faso where she had been working as a missionary.
Her liberation had been the fruit of "four years and eight months of the combined effort of several intelligence services", the presidency said. "She is a woman of a very particular human quality, down to earth ... moved by the love of the poor," Sister Carmen said. An official at Bamako airport, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP the nun had arrived in the Malian capital on Saturday evening from where she was due to fly to Rome. Her departure from Bamako was confirmed by the city's archdiocese.
