PARIS, March 23 (Xinhua) -- French President Francois Hollande confirmed on Thursday that a Frenchman was kidnapped in Chad.
"I confirm that a French citizen was kidnapped in Chad and we are doing everything to find him," Hollande said.
"When it comes to hostages it's best to say the least possible in the interests of the person and the discussions that will take place," he added.
Two other French nationals have been held in the Sahel region including a female aid worker kidnapped in Mali in December 2016. A French man working for Canadian gold dealer Banro Corporation was abducted in the Democratic Republic of Congo earlier in March.
