France Foreign minister, Laurent Fabius has left Paris for Yaounde, capital of Cameroon to greet the French family of seven freed by Nigeria’s Boko Haram.<\/p>\n

After President Paul Biya’s announcement of the release of the family captured in northern cameroon 19 February, France also confirmed the seven-man family, which includes four children aged between 5 and 12, was “all healthy.”<\/p>\n

The president’s office said Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius had immediately left for Cameroon to greet the family, which includes four young children.<\/p>\n

In a later comment, French President Francois Hollande said no ransom had been paid for the freedom of the family.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Paris about the released family, he reaffirmed that France “does not cede on (its) principles”, the “non-payment by France of ransoms.”<\/p>\n

Cameroonian President Paul Biya had earlier announced that the family had been “handed over last night to Cameroonian authorities”.<\/p>\n

The family, who were based in Cameroon, were visiting the Waza National Park when they were kidnapped.<\/p>\n

The family comprised Tanguy Moulin-Fournier, the husband and his wife Albane, as well as their four sons, Eloi, Andeol, Mael and Clarence.<\/p>\n

Tanguy\u2019s brother Cyril Moulin-Fournier was on vacation and with them at the time.<\/p>\n

The three adults are all around 40 years old.<\/p>\n

The family, with the exception of the uncle, moved to Yaounde, Cameroon\u2019s capital, in autumn 2011 when the father began a job there overseeing the construction of a liquid natural gas plant.<\/p>\n

The uncle lives in Barcelona, Spain.<\/p>\n
