A driver with an Oregon-based medical care nonprofit is fatally shot in Ethiopia while in a convoy
A staff member with an Oregon medical care nonprofit was killed when the team he was traveling with in a convoy was fired upon in Ethiopia, officials said Monday. Mustefa Alkisim was a Medical Teams International driver traveling in the insecure Amhara region of Ethiopia Friday when men fired at the group, organization spokesperson Karen Kartes Piatt said in an email. At this time, the faith-based organization said it does not believe the shooting was an intentional, targeted attack on the staff or the organization, which was founded in 1979 and provides medical care for people in crisis, such as survivors of natural disasters and refugees.

Amid merger speculation, Brazilian airline Gol says parent talking with Azul
Brazilian airline Gol said on Tuesday its parent company Abra Group has started talks with airline Azul to "explore opportunities," following media reports earlier this year that pointed to a potential merger. A possible agreement between Abra Group, a Latin American airline holding company, and Azul "would not be binding for Gol," it added in a securities filing but without going into further detail. Abra Group was formed in 2022 to combine Brazilian carrier Gol and Colombia's Avianca under a common holding company jointly controlled by the main shareholders of both firms.
