The French journalist Olivier Dubois has made an emotional return home after being held captive for nearly two years by militants in West Africa.
He was warmly embraced by family members and President Emmanuel Macron on the tarmac of an air base near Paris.
Mr Dubois disappeared in Mali’s northern city of Gao in April 2021.
He was released on Monday along with the American aid worker Jeffrey Woodke, who had been held for six years.
Details about their release remain unclear.
