The Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims (GSIM or JNIM, outlawed in Russia as a terrorist organization – TASS), a militant jihadist group linked with terrorist organizations al-Qaeda and Islamic State [both outlawed in Russia], claimed it had kidnapped two Russian nationals, AFP reported.
According to the news agency, the radical group released a video in which two men identifying themselves as Russians said they were working in Mbanga when JNIM arrested them.
