The family of seven was kidnapped in Cameroon.
A masked spokesman says France has declared war in Islam Boko Haram wants jailed members and their wives released.
France will not negotiate with the
Islamist rebels who kidnapped a French family in Cameroon, Defense
Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Tuesday.
“We do not negotiate on these bases,
with those groups,” Le Drian said on French radio station RTL. “We will
use all possible means to secure the release of hostages.”
The radio announcement comes a day after
rebels in Nigeria released a chilling video of the family that was
abducted in neighbouring Cameroon.
The seven-member family was flanked by
armed fighters from the Boko Haram movement in the brief video. One of
the captive men read a statement demanding that Nigeria and Cameroon
free jailed members of Boko Haram, which is battling to establish
Islamic rule in northern Nigeria, and their families.
“Meet all the demands we have mentioned, and if you leave out one of them, we will kill these hostages,” the masked man says.
France blasts ‘cruelty’ as Boko Haram displays kidnapped family
The family – a couple, their four
children and an uncle – were seized in a national park in remote
northern Cameroon on February 19.
Authorities in Cameroon said they were quickly spirited across the border into Nigeria.
“This is the first time there are children hostages,” Le Drian said.
“This is an unacceptable situation.”
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius
denounced the video Monday, saying, “All of the state services are
mobilised to free our countrymen.”
“For all of us, these images are terribly shocking. They demonstrate cruelty without limits,” Fabius said in a statement.
The kidnapping has raised fears of
Westerners being targeted by Islamist militant groups in Africa in the
wake of the French military intervention against other Islamist rebels
in Mali.
