London, (berberanews) –Terrorist groups have made threats against westerners and those working for western organizations in Somaliland and Somalia, the British government have warned. Concerns about a possible attack were highlighted in a statement issued by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO),
which already advises against all travel to Somalia including Somaliland. The FCO statement reads:
“The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advise against all travel to Somalia, including Somaliland. Any British nationals in Somalia should leave.
There is a high threat from terrorism, including kidnapping, throughout Somalia, including Somaliland. Terrorist groups have made threats against westerners and those working for western organisations. The FCO believes that there is a constant threat of terrorist attack in Mogadishu. The FCO also believes that terrorists continue to plan attacks against westerners in Somaliland.
Terrorist attacks could be indiscriminate, including in crowded places, high-profile events, events involving government officials and in places frequented by foreigners.
Piracy is a significant threat in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean. There is also a high threat of maritime terrorism in the territorial and international waters off Somalia.
All areas across Somalia are suffering food shortages resulting in the displacement of thousands of Somali people.
The FCO is unable to provide consular assistance in Somalia”.
