Africa: Chinese Workers On Alert, Rise In Kidnapping Cases | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Chinese nationals are increasingly being targeted in a wave of kidnappings across Africa, prompting safety warnings from Beijing.

Recent incidents include abductions in Nigeria’s capital, attacks on Chinese miners in Mali, and hostage situations off the Somali coast. The Chinese embassy in South Africa has issued multiple alerts, especially for women. As China's footprint grows across the continent through infrastructure and mining projects, so too has the threat to its citizens on the ground.
