Indian petro-energy worker P K Abhilash (pictured) was kidnapped on 13 May and spent 74 days in captivity in the Sudanese jungle. In an interview with the Gulf Times, he discusses those days, including being beaten up by his captors after a failed escape attempt. Abhilash’s plight is similar to those found in Nigeria, where kidnapping of workers in disputed oil districts is becoming commonplace as a way for militants and local tribes to negotiate with the government over the allocation of petro-dollars.
