Default Spanish MSF doctors seized near Kenya-Somali border

Quote:
Gunmen have kidnapped two Spanish doctors working for the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) near Kenya's border with Somalia.
The two women were seized from the Dadaab refugee camp, which houses hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing famine in the Horn of Africa.
Their Kenyan driver was wounded and is now in hospital, MSF say.
In recent weeks, two other foreign women - one English, the other French - have been kidnapped near the border.

This begs the question...why bother risking your personal safety knowing your in one of the worlds worst areas for kidnapping?

I have not been kidnapped, but those who go to places that there is a risk of things like this, is aware of the risks, despite advice against their own country's government or the UN, they may see this as a vocation that they have been selected, from his own faith and to be able to get away when they are a helping hand, but are subject to a political tool.

Mr. Buna Will the truth or not, many who travel to risk areas are aware of the risks and possible consequences that may be just the same way that sailors kidnapped in water, in the Indian Ocean,I personally think that it is not through planned to travel to these areas without the proper conditions, they have no idea what might, in theory yes, but never in practice, let those who have experience managing this.
