American Humanitarian Worker Jeff Woodke Freed After 6 Years in Niger Captivity

American humanitarian worker Jeffery Woodke, who was kidnapped from his home in Niger in 2016, has been released after six years of captivity. No details of his release were disclosed, but a senior Biden administration official said no ransom was paid and no concession was made to captors. Woodke had been doing humanitarian aid work in Niger for more than 30 years and was believed to have been held by JNIM, a West African affiliate of al-Qaida.
