French journalist Olivier Dubois freed after being held hostage for two years – media

Almost two years, to be precise: 711 days. For so long, relatives, friends and colleagues feared for the journalist Olivier Dubois and hoped for his return. The correspondent who, among other things, for the French daily newspaper Liberation and for the magazines LePoint and Jeune Africa reported from the Sahel was kidnapped by jihadists in Mali. On Monday, March 20th, the wait came to an end.
