#8 Career diplomat; 20+ years in Foreign Service with five tours in Africa. Perhaps she wished to finish her career while still breathing on a quiet note.

#9 I think you nailed it at #8. I'm at page 63 of Nick Turse's 'Tomorrow's Battlefield. She probably knows as much of the Afrika story of gloom as anyone else.
