    The two Kenyans who were abducted last Sunday were released from hostage last Monday night in the capital Mogadishu, a Somali official said. The manager of the printing company where the two work, Abukar Ali, said on Tuesday they are safe and have left the Horn of Africa to their native Nairobi.

    Last Sunday a group of 10 armed masked men entered the Hamar Adde printing centre near Abu Hureira Mosque in Mogadishu market of Bakara, which is under the control of the Islamist group of Al-shabab and abducted the two Kenyans and two Somalis.

    Abduction of foreigners and aid workers is common phenomenon in Somalia now. The country has not known peace since the overthrow of Dictator Mohamed Siad Bare in 1991.
