Chinese Road Workers Reported Kidnapped By Sudan Rebels

More then 24 Chinese workers have been kidnapped by Sudanese rebels while building roads in South Kordofan. Different opinions are being thrown around as Sudanese officials are claiming that the roads were being built to join two remote areas while Westerners are saying that the roads are simply being used to carry out attacks on the South Sudanese populations. China is heavily invested in Sudan, having supported them in their human rights violations. Recently, the Chinese population has been vocal about using Chinese civilians to work in these high risk areas.
