British (male) Charity Worker Kidnapped by Somali Gunmen


This is getting a bit ridiculous now. There needs to be hell to pay.

The UK Telegraph reports that a British man working for Save the Children in Somalia has been kidnapped from his compound by armed gunmen.

The man, who has not yet been named, was taken along with his Somali fixer from a town near the Ethiopian border on Friday, according to the charity.

The Briton is thought to have been based in Nairobi, Kenya, and worked as a consultant for aid agencies since 2007. He reportedly has dual British/Zimbabwean nationality.

A local official said it was still unclear who was behind the kidnapping.
"Some people say they are pirates and others say they are Islamists," Mohamed Awale, a local official, said.
