Oxfam would like to thank all parties involved, especially the Government of Chad, and members of the international community for their efforts to achieve the safe release of our colleague.
We would like to commend the courage of Hubert and his family during their ordeal and request that the family’s privacy is respected so that they may have time to enjoy their reunion.
