TERRORIST ATTACK IN ETHIOPIA

Brussels, 19th January 2012

Dear Dries,

It is in shock that we have to inform you on the terrorist attack earlier this week in Ethiopia.  One of our fellow members and Africa specialist, Bruno Vanden Bossche of Gondwana DMC's in Brussels witnessed the tragedy.  He was dragged out of his tent together with several other European visitors. 

Rebels opened fire from point blank range killing 5 people (2 Germans, 2 Hungarians and 1 Austrian).  Bruno was hit in the chest and was flown to a local hospital for emergency treatment. 

He is no longer in a life-threatening situation and was able to give an interview to Belgian television.

As a result of this incident, Belgian foreign affairs office  applies an immediate no travel policy to Ethiopia.
