Reuters: Sudan hunts for kidnapped Chinese oil workers. Sudanese security forces were struggling through rain and harsh terrain to try to rescue nine Chinese oil workers kidnapped in central Sudan two days ago, the government said on Monday. Foreign Ministry spokesman Ali al-Sadig said there were no indications the captors had harmed the men whom they snatched on Saturday from a field in South Kordofan state. "Despite the many handicaps such as the rain and forests, the mission of the law enforcement agencies is to find those who were kidnapped and secure their safety," Sadig said.

Associated Press: China Says Kidnappings Won't Affect Sudan Policy. China's Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that Beijing's close economic ties with Sudan wouldn't be affected by last week's kidnappings of nine Chinese oil workers in the country's southwest. Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said Chinese authorities are working to help free the captives, who were seized Saturday by unknown assailants in Kordofan province. Sudan's government says they were abducted by a rebel group that has demanded a greater share for locals of the region's oil wealth.
