We advise you to reconsider your need to travel to Ethiopia, including Addis Ababa, at this time due to the high threat of terrorist attack against Western interests and ongoing political tensions.
- If you do decide to travel to Ethiopia, you should exercise extreme caution.
- We continue to receive reports that terrorists are planning attacks against a range of targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
- We strongly advise you not to travel to the border areas with Kenya, Somalia (in particular the Ogaden area) and Sudan, including the Gambella region, or to the disputed border area between Eritrea and Ethiopia, including the Danakil desert area, because of the extremely dangerous security situation in these areas.
- In January 2012, five western tourists were killed and two kidnapped by gunmen in the Danakil desert area. The kidnapped tourists were released in March 2012. Three British nationals were kidnapped in the same area in 2007. We continue to advise Australians not to travel to the Danakil desert area.
- Credible reporting indicates that militants may be planning to conduct attacks, including cross-border kidnappings, in eastern Ethiopia.
- Conflict in neighbouring countries could spill over into Ethiopia, particularly along the border with Somalia. There is also a possibility of attacks against symbols and buildings of the Government.
- From late February 2011, the ongoing conflict along the border with Somalia has intensified. Heavy fighting has been reported on the Ethiopia-Somalia border and the Kenya-Somalia border. The risk of violent attacks and terrorist acts has increased.
- Protesters have in the past been killed in violent demonstrations in Addis Ababa. We advise you to avoid large gatherings throughout the country as they may turn violent. You should monitor the media and other local news sources for safety information.
- Because of the dangerous security situation, we strongly recommend that you register your travel and contact details, so we can contact you in an emergency.
- Be a smart traveller. Before heading overseas:
