Mali

We've reviewed our advice for Mali. We continue to advise do not travel to Mali. We now also advise do not travel to the southern parts of Koulikoro, Kayes, Sikasso; the region of Segou, south of the Niger River. The political and security situation could get worse suddenly. The Canadian Embassy can provide limited emergency consular assistance to Australians in need (see 'Local contacts'). Terrorist attacks have increased since mid-July 2022 in central and southern Mali, including in the vicinity of Bamako. Although they have primarily targeted security forces installations, they have resulted in numerous casualties, including civilians.

We continue to advise:

Do not travel to Mali due to the high risk of terrorist attack and kidnapping.
