Syria Travel Advisory
Multiple governments strongly advise against all travel to Syria due to extreme security risks including ongoing armed conflict, terrorism, kidnapping, arbitrary detention, and airstrikes. No part of the country is considered safe from violence. The U.S. Embassy in Damascus has suspended operations, and consular services are unavailable. Regional escalation has also led to the closure of air corridors and suspension of operations at Damascus International Airport.

South Sudan Travel Advisory
South Sudan faces a volatile and dangerous security situation characterized by ongoing armed conflict, inter-ethnic violence, and high levels of violent crime, including kidnapping and robbery. Foreign nationals are at significant risk. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency consular services, and travel outside Juba is particularly hazardous due to poor road conditions and unauthorized checkpoints.
Democratic Republic of the Congo

Democratic Republic of the Congo Travel Advisory
There is a high risk of crime, unrest, terrorism, kidnapping, and health concerns in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Conflict between government forces and armed groups is ongoing, particularly in the eastern regions, leading to instability and potential for increased violence. The country is also experiencing an Ebola outbreak, declared a public health emergency by the WHO, with no approved vaccines or specific antiviral treatments for the Bundibugyo strain. Violent demonstrations and protests can occur with little notice, and roadblocks and curfews may be imposed.
