Somalia - Travel Warning
April 6, 1995
The Department of State warns U.S. citizens against all travel to
Somalia. The United States Liaison Office in Mogadishu relocated to
Nairobi, Kenya, in September 1994; there is no way of providing any
consular assistance to U.S. citizens in Somalia. U.S. citizens in
Somalia were advised to depart the country.
All United Nations peacekeeping forces departed Somalia in March
1995. There is a serious risk of renewed fighting in Mogadishu, the
capital, as well as throughout Somalia.

that UN peacekeeping forces are no longer in Somalia. JJ
Somalia - Consular Information Sheet
April 27, 1995
Warning: The Department of State warns U.S. citizens against all
travel to Somalia. The United States Liaison Office in Mogadishu
relocated to Nairobi, Kenya in September 1994; there is no way of
providing any consular assistance to U.S. citizens in Somalia. U.S.
citizens in Somalia were advised to depart the country.
All United Nations peacekeeping forces departed Somalia in March
1995. There is a serious risk of renewed fighting in Mogadishu, the
capital, as well as throughout Somalia.
Areas of Instability: Looting, banditry, and all forms of violent
crime are common in Somalia, particularly in the capital city of
Mogadishu. While banditry and inter-clan tension are major problems
in many areas of Somalia, these difficulties are less severe in the
northern parts of the country. There is no functioning national
government, and no U.S. protective service is available. There is
no functioning Somali Embassy in Washington D.C.
Medical Information: Anyone entering Somalia must receive
immunization against cholera, typhoid, and yellow fever, and obtain
a doctor's advice regarding any other immunizations that might be
necessary. There are virtually no health facilities or medicines
available in Somalia. Information on health matters may be obtained
from the Centers for Disease Control's international travelers
hotline, telephone (404) 332-4559. Electricity, water, food and
lodging are unobtainable on a regular basis. Travelers must be
completely self-sufficient.
Registration: U.S. citizens who plan to enter Somalia may register
at the U.S. Liaison Office (USLO) for Somalia, which is located with
the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, at the intersection of Moi and
Haile Selassie Avenues. The telephone number is (254-2) 334141.
The mailing address is the United States Liaison Office for Somalia,
P.O. Box 30137, or Unit 64100, APO AE 09831.
No. 95-057
This replaces the Consular Information Sheet dated February 23,
1995, to revise the Travel Warning for Somalia.
