Gunmen Kidnap German Nurse In Somalia Capital
Armed men abducted a German nurse working for the International Committee of the Red Cross on Wednesday evening from a compound in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu, the aid group said Thursday.
“We are deeply concerned about the safety of our colleague,” said Daniel O’Malley, ICRC’s deputy Somalia head.
“She is a nurse who was working every day to save lives and improve the health of some of Somalia’s most vulnerable people.”
The Red Cross said the attack happened around 8.00 pm local time (1700 GMT) when unidentified armed men entered its compound in Mogadishu.
The organization said it is “in contact with various authorities to try and secure her release”.
Somalia, which collapsed into civil war in 1991 and has been the site of an al-Qaeda linked Islamist insurgency since 2005, is one of the most dangerous countries for aid workers, but abductions remain relatively rare.
