ERITREA – AVOID NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL

Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada advises against non-essential travel to Eritrea. The political situation is highly unstable, due to ongoing tension between Eritrea and neighbouring countries, and could become violent at any time.

Reports received on January 21, 2013 indicate that there is an increased military presence in the capital, Asmara. Be extremely vigilant and monitor local media.
