KINSHASA, Jumada I 23, 1437, March 03, 2016, SPA -- Three employees of international charity Save the Children were kidnapped on Wednesday in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the organisation said on Thursday, as insecurity in the region continues to hamper humanitarian efforts, according to Reuters. The Congolese staff members were taken at 3 p.m. (1300 GMT) in North Kivu province, Save the Children said. It declined to comment further or share the identity of the abductees, but said it was working to resolve the situation quickly. North Kivu province, which borders Rwanda and Uganda, was ravaged by regional wars that killed millions between 1996 and 2003. Dozens of armed groups remain there, often preying on locals, exploiting the area's natural resources and stopping key aid from reaching the region. --SPA 22:20 LOCAL TIME 19:20 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
