A woman from Vienna is kidnapped 18 months ago in the country Niger. The woman is Eva Gretzmacher. She is 75 years old. She lived almost 30 years in the city Agadez. There she helped many people. The people called her the angel of Agadez.
Armed men kidnapped her in January 2025 from her house. Then the men gave her to a terror group. Also a woman from Switzerland is kidnapped. Reports say now: The two women are perhaps already free. The foreign ministry in Vienna confirms this not yet completely.
The ministry says: There is good news. But the handover of the hostages is very dangerous. It is a hard process. The women are now in the country Libya. A video shows the Swiss woman. She says in the video: We are well.
