DANGEROUS PLACES TO VISIT
Added on: 18th Oct 2015
PANAMA/COLOMBIA
Pertaining specifically to the Darian Gap region on the border of the
two nations, this strip of jungle is not only one of the most inaccessible
and inhospitable areas in the world, there is also a strong presence
of armed guerrillas and drug traffickers.
ISRAEL/GAZA
Although not all of Israel would fall into this category, certain areas
in and around the Gaza Strip as well as the West Bank are not
currently stable enough to be recommended as travel destinations.
GEORGIA
This travel warning would primarily relate to the South Ossetia region.
It could be extended to other regions of the former Soviet Union as well,
including North Ossetia and Chechnya. Terrorism, kidnapping, and
armed conflict in these regions make travel very inadvisable.
REPUBLIC OF CONGO
Except for the cities of Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire, the Republic of
Congo would probably not be the best place to take your relaxing summer
vacation. Numerous terrorist organizations have been very active in the region.
MAURITANIA
Because of a sharp rise in terrorist activity and threats against western
interests, many governments have issued travel warnings for Mauritania.
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO
Following several major wars one of which was labelled
“Africa’s World War” it should come as no surprise that this
is not quite the safest place on Earth to visit at the moment.
SIERRA LEONE
Exclusively because of Ebola, most governments have issued travel
warnings due to decreased access to medical care.
LIBERIA
Due to the recent Ebola outbreak, Liberia is on the “avoid
non-essential travel” list of most nations. Healthcare services
are currently overtaxed and as with our next nation, hard to come by.
GUINEA
Political, social, and economic tensions, coupled with the outbreak of
Ebola have led to regional instabilities and violent crimes, especially in
areas surrounding Conakry. Furthermore medical services are hard to
come by at the present time.
