The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Sunday the successful conclusion of intensive efforts to release three Egyptian citizens who were kidnapped in Mali. The ministry confirmed that all hostages have been freed and are safe. This achievement is the result of close cooperation between Egyptian authorities and international partners. The captors had held the Egyptian citizens for several months, but thanks to persistent diplomatic efforts, they managed to secure their release without bloodshed. The former hostages will now return to their homeland, where they will be reunited with their families.
