Somalia

There’s an ongoing high threat of terrorism, with attacks expected to continue. Don't travel to Somalia. If you're in the country, leave as soon as possible. If you decide to stay, get professional security advice. The 2021 Presidential elections remain delayed. A spike in violence is likely to correspond with the electoral process, including possible attempts to disrupt the elections.

We continue to advise:

Do not travel to Somalia due to:

• the high risk of terrorist attack, kidnapping, armed conflict and violent crime.
• the health risks from the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant disruptions to global travel.
