The Sudanese government Tuesday condemned the killing of four Chinese workers who were kidnapped in the southwest of the northern African country.
Mutref Seddiq, undersecretary of the Sudanese Foreign Ministry, expressed condolences to the victims and their families, saying search for the missing Chinese worker abducted along with the murdered workers is going on.
The Sudanese government is investigating the case and striving to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The government will also go all out to ensure the safety of the Chinese personnel in the country, Seddiq said.
Nine workers from the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) were kidnapped from an oil field near the western Sudanese region of Darfur on Oct. 18.
Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed on Tuesday that four of them had been killed, four others rescued and the other one remains missing.
The Chinese embassy in Sudan said they were taken by unknown militants in the Southern Kordofan State, but no armed group has claimed responsibility for the heinous attack.
