SUMMARY 
---------- 
 
1. (SBU) The UN and NGO community is assessing the security 
environment in eastern Chad after the tragic death of a Save the 
Children representative in an apparent carjacking attempt on the 
heavily traveled Abeche-Adre corridor.  With banditry rising in 
eastern Chad, EUFOR/MINURCAT's ability to provide what it calls a 
"dissuasive security umbrella" will be severely tested.  In private 
discussions, EUFOR commanders cite NGO reticence to coordinate 
activities and share information (including  basic information on 
communications and travel) as a critical obstacle to protecting 
humanitarian workers.  The force and the humanitarian community 
clearly need to improve their ability to work together effectively 
while respecting their separate mandates.  End summary. 
 
2. (SBU) On May 1, UN Resident Representative and Humanitarian 
Coordinator Kingsley Amaning convoked the UN Inter-Agency Standing 
Committee (to which donor countries are invited as observers) to 
inform them that Save the Children Representative in Chad, Pascal 
Malingue had been killed in what appeared to have been a carjacking 
attempt.  The assault took place some 20 kilometers from Farchana 
(where a EUFOR battalion is based), on the Abeche-Adre road, a major 
transportation route.  Two armed men in military fatigues stopped a 
convoy of three vehicles (two UNICEF, one Save the Children). 
Occupants of the vehicles were told to get out of the cars and lie 
down.  Malingue was the last one out.  He was shot in the head with 
a Kalashnikov while standing with his arms up, according to 
witnesses. 
 
3. (SBU) It is not clear if the shooting was close range and 
deliberate but initial reports appeared to rule out an accidental 
discharge.  The attackers reportedly "panicked" and attempted to 
escape in the Save the Children vehicle.  Not being able to locate 
the keys to this car, they took the UNICEF car and fled the scene, 
leaving a Kalashnikov rifle in the Save the Children car.  Malingue 
was rushed to Farchana in a Medecins Sans Frontieres vehicle but had 
already expired.  EUFFOR used helicopters to search for the stolen 
vehicle without success. 
 
4. (SBU) Representatives of the UN and NGO community at the meeting 
were clearly in shock at the horrific event.  Nonetheless, it was 
noted that armed carjackings had been rising in recent months; 
perhaps it was only a matter of time before one of these would have 
ended tragically.  Participants agreed that the Government of Chad 
needed to be strongly urged by the UN/NGO community and by major 
country donors to take stronger measures to enforce security in the 
region.  Despite differing views on whether a suspension of 
humanitarian activities to protest the lack of security was 
justified or not, UN and NGOs elected finally to suspend all 
non-essential ('life-saving' such as water, health or food-aid 
logistics) activities for 48 hours.  The temporary suspension ended 
late on Saturday, May 3. 
 
5. (SBU) Heads of UN agencies and major NGO partners met with the 
Prime Minister on May 3 and delivered a letter which explained the 
suspension and called on the government to take stronger measures to 
ensure security in the east.  The letter noted that since January 1, 
2008, there had been 31 attacks on humanitarian operations, 
including 3 homicides and 15 car thefts. 
 
6. (SBU) For their part, in private discussions with misoffs, EUFOR 
commanders in Abeche have become increasingly frustrated with their 
relations with NGOs.  The commanders acknowledge that EUFOR is still 
building up its forces and capabilities in the East.  Even so, they 
cite NGO reticence to coordinate activities and share information 
(including basic information on communications and travel) as a 
critical obstacle to protecting humanitarian workers.

7. (SBU) The tragedy of this happening 20 kilometers from a EUFOR 
military battalion was not lost on those who had attended the 
meeting.  With banditry rising, EUFOR/MINURCAT's ability to provide 
what it calls a "dissuasive security umbrella" will be severely 
tested.  In addition, EUFOR maintains that MINURCAT deployment is 
essential to realization of this dissuasive presence, but MINURCAT 
has been slower in deploying.  Nonetheless, the international forces

and the humanitarian community clearly need to improve their ability 
to work together effectively while respecting their separate 
mandates.  NIGRO
