Bangladesh Travel
Warning
This Public Announcement is being issued
on January 12, 2007 to alert American citizens that the
Caretaker Government declared a State of Emergency in Bangladesh. An initial
curfew has been lifted, but a new curfew could be reinstated at any time.
The Department of State is concerned about the fluid security situation in
Bangladesh and strongly urges U.S. citizens to avoid travel to the country.
This Public Announcement supersedes the Public Announcement for Bangladesh
dated November 8, 2006, and expires on April 12, 2007.
On January 11, 2007, President Ahmed stepped down as leader of the Caretaker
Government after declaring a state of emergency. Elections previously
scheduled for January 22 have been postponed indefinitely. Because the
political and security situation throughout Bangladesh remains fluid, the
Department of State strongly urges U.S. citizens to avoid travel to the
country. An initial curfew has been lifted, but a new curfew could be
reinstated at any time. There is the potential for American citizens to
become caught up in demonstrations or other situations which do not directly
target them. The Embassy expects the situation throughout Bangladesh to
remain uncertain during implementation of the state of emergency.

In late October 2006, political
violence erupted in Dhaka and provincial cities, killing approximately 40
people and wounding several hundred. The political opposition successfully
shut down the country's major port in Chittagong, border entry points from
India, and major highways leading to Dhaka and Chittagong. All modes of
transportation, including rail and river, were temporarily disrupted.
The Embassy advises all Americans traveling or residing in Bangladesh to
keep abreast of developments, remain vigilant, and avoid large crowds and
political demonstrations. U.S. citizens can expect a more robust presence of
security forces, including the airport. A curfew would limit the ability to
travel, and travelers should plan accordingly. Media controls are currently
in place and political activity, including criticism of the government, is
prohibited.
U.S. citizens who must travel to Bangladesh despite this warning should
consult the Department of State's Consular Information Sheet for Bangladesh,
the current Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, and the Middle East and
North Africa Public Announcement, which are available via the Internet at
http://travel.state.gov.
American citizens may obtain up-to-date information on security conditions
by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the United States and Canada, and
(202)501-4444 from overseas.
