13:33

IAR reported that a Polish missionary priest Mateusz Dziedzic has been kidnapped in the Central African Republic. The kidnappers labeled themselves as "Miskin's people" and want to exchange the priest for one of their own leaders who is being held in Cameroon. Originally another priest, Leszek Zieliński, was also kidnapped but shortly after released. UN and the local religious community are involved in negotiations for the priest's release. Polish soldiers are present in the CAR under a peacekeeping mission, but the leadership of the Polish forces refrained from any public announcements regarding this matter.
