A French citizen kidnapped in Chad on Thursday has now been taken to Sudan.
The Frenchman, who has not been identified, was kidnapped south of Abeche, a mining area about 800 km east of the capital N’Djamena and 150 km from the border with Sudan.
There were no immediate reports of any group claiming responsibility or making demands.
Around 1,000 French troops are stationed in Chad, which hosts the headquarters of France’s 4,000-strong regional anti-militant operation, known as Barkhane.
