French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed freed journalist Olivier Dubois at midday on Tuesday on his arrival at a military airfield outside Paris, the president's office said.
Dubois, 48, was kidnapped in Mali on April 8, 2021. He said in a video released by his captors that he was taken by the Support Group for Islam and Muslims (GSIM), the main jihadist alliance in the Sahel, which is linked to Al-Qaeda.
