Five British embassy staff who were kidnapped in a remote desert in northern Ethiopia are expected to be reunited with their families in Addis Ababa today.

The hostages, all connected with the embassy in the Ethiopian capital, were said to be in "good health" when they were freed after 13 days in captivity. They were taken to Britain's embassy in Asmara, the capital of neighbouring Eritrea, where they were fed, given fresh clothes and seen by a doctor.
