There is an extreme risk to your security in Somalia and we advise against all travel. There is a strong threat of terrorism and also a high level of criminal activity and kidnapping. Serious ethnic and clan-based fighting is likely to occur, especially in Mogadishu. Piracy and armed robbery occur frequently along the Somali coast and those travelling by ship should be vigilant.
Humanitarian personnel have been regularly attacked and abducted in the country.
