A video has emerged of the French journalist Olivier Dubois who has been held hostage since April 2021. Paris-based media watchdog Reporters Without Borders on Monday appealed for his release.
Dubois, 47, was seized while on an assignment in Gao in northern Mali by the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims (GSIM), the main jihadist alliance in the Sahel, which is linked to Al-Qaeda.
