    MOGADISHU Somalia April 8 -The U.S Department of State has issued a Level 4 Travel Advisory for Somalia and advised U.S. citizens not to travel to Somalia due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, health issues, kidnapping, and piracy.

    The US Embassy in Nairobi has said they received information about threats to multiple locations in Mogadishu, including Aden Adde International Airport in Mogadishu.

    As a result, all movements of U.S. Embassy personnel have been canceled for Tuesday, April 9, 2024.

    “The US Department of State level-four travel advisory (“do not travel”) for Somalia remains in effect due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, health issues, kidnapping, and piracy,” the advisory reads.

    The US citizens have been warned that terrorists continue to plot kidnappings, bombings, and other attacks in Somalia.

    “They may conduct attacks with little or no warning, targeting airports and seaports, checkpoints, government buildings, hotels, restaurants, shopping areas, and other areas where large crowds gather and Westerners frequent, as well as government, military, and Western convoys,” the advisory added.

    According to the reports, the methods of attack include, but are not limited to, car bombs, suicide bombers, individual attackers, and mortar fire.

    The U.S. government has extremely limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Somalia due to the lack of a permanent consular presence in Somalia.

    The citizens have been advised to continue to exercise vigilance while in Somalia; review their personal security plans; notify a trusted person of your travel and movement plans; and avoid large crowds, gatherings and demonstrations.

    They have also been advised to stay alert in locations frequented by tourists/Westerners; be aware of their surroundings and local Security developments; and also monitor local media and news for updates.
