Incident: Shooting, Chad

Nick writes in with word that a Spanish aid worker was shot and wounded in eastern Chad. The 37-year old female UNICEF employee was shot in the arm (she is in serious condition in a hospital in N'Djamena) while the assailant made off with her jeep. Additional details here. The security environment in the area continues to erode with numerous robberies and vehicle thefts.

Best wishes and a speedy recovery to the UNICEF staffer.
