Cameroon Travel Warning
SCI members planning travel arrangements to the African countries of Cameroon and Lesotho should be aware of recent United States Department of State travel warnings to each.
Travelers to Cameroon are advised by the State Department to avoid all travel to the Far North regions of the country. U.S. Citizens are warned of the high risk of travel to Cameroon and the Far North region due to the terrorist group Boko Haram’s activities and their targeting of expatriates. Coordinated attacks on two compounds in Kolofata resulted in the kidnapping of government leaders and their families and several clergy kidnapped from the region. The U.S, Embassy urges extreme caution when traveling. The travel warning also extends to bordering countries Nigeria, Chad and the Central African Republic.

Lesotho Travel Warning
The Department of State is also warning U.S. citizens to defer travel to Lesotho due to concerns over a possible deterioration of the security situation there. Following a violent confrontation between police and the army, leaders of the Lesotho Mounted Police Service (LMPS) have publicly stated that the LMPS is not capable of performing its duties and are not conducting normal police security functions.
