Please don't use the big broad brush to dismiss a whole continent. Most of Africa is safe as big brick houses; I've had great running trips to places like Ghana, Ethiopia, Somalia and cycling in SA. It's the visas more than anything else that are the issue, though there are certain places where safety may be on a par with east London.

We'll set up a crowd funder if there's a ransom request or if they kill you it can go towards repatriation and funeral expenses.
