This report is from Ivory Coast but we have included it on this website as a tribute to Zahra Abidi
A Swedish United Nations employee was shot and killed in Abidjan by a stray bullet, on 31st March 2011.
Zahra Abidi, aged 34, was hit in her home in Abidjan, where she was working for the United Nations Operation in Cote d'Ivoire (UNOCI).
Fighting erupted in Ivory Coast's main city Abidjan on Thursday as forces loyal to internationally recognised election winner Alassane Ouattara make a final push for power against incumbent Laurent Gbagbo, who has refused to cede power.
Bloody post-election violence has plunged the world's top cocoa producer into political and economic crisis, killing nearly 500 people and forcing more than one million people to flee.
The next day, but in Afghanistan, three UN workers - Joakim Dungel from Sweden, Siri Skare from Norway and Filaret Motco from Romania, plus four Nepalese Gurkha guards died.
