Ethiopia

We've reviewed our advice for Ethiopia. We now advise, do not travel to West Shewa in Oromia Regional, Somali Regional State (except for Nogob, Erer, Sitti and up to 40km of Ethiopia’s border with Somalia in Fafan) and to within 30 km of the border with Tigray and Amhara in Afar regional state. Additional do not travel advisories apply in other areas of Ethiopia. We continue to advise do not travel to Amhara Regional State due to the security situation. There's a state of emergency in place. If you're in Amhara Regional State, shelter in place until it's safe to leave the region. Mobile and internet networks may be disrupted. Expect roadblocks and flight disruptions. Stay vigilant, monitor local media and contact your travel provider for the latest update. Follow the advice of local authorities.
 

We advise:

Reconsider your need to travel to Ethiopia overall due to the risk of civil unrest and the threat of armed conflict.

Other levels apply in some areas.
