US, UK Expand Travel Warnings Amid Terror Threats

The US State Department has issued strong travel advisories for Egypt, Libya, Mauritania, Nigeria, Rwanda, and reaffirmed a Level 4 'Do Not Travel' warning for Suwayda in Syria due to ongoing terrorism, violence, and political instability, highlighting risks such as kidnapping and armed conflict. The UK Foreign Office has also updated its 'do not travel' list, now advising against travel to 31 countries—including parts of Tunisia—citing terrorist activity and recent attacks that have raised concerns for tourists. Both US and UK authorities note that travelers ignoring these warnings may face increased danger and limited consular support, and UK travelers may invalidate their travel insurance. The US government additionally warns visa holders that engaging in criminal activity could result in immediate visa revocation, deportation, and a permanent ban from reentry. Travelers are urged to check official government websites for the latest advisories, exercise heightened caution, and have contingency plans when considering travel to high-risk regions. The updated guidance comes amid recent incidents and a heightened global threat environment.
