*Dept of State: “ The most recent kidnapping was on April 4, 2014, when attackers kidnapped two Italian priests and a Canadian nun during the night from their residences in Tchere, near the city of Maroua, located approximately 60 kilometers from the Nigerian border. Boko Haram’s leaders have stated and demonstrated through their actions over the past year that they are actively seeking to kidnap ‘Westerners’ and U.S. citizens travelling to or living in the Far North and North regions of Cameroon”
UNITED States Government have issued out travel warning alert to citizens of America against traveling cheapest car rental florida on tourism or embarking on any adventure to Far North Cameroon, as Nigeria’s Boko Haram sect have taken over the entire area thereby inflicting terror on expatriates and kidnapping them to unknown locations.
This salient warning was given by t he Department of State, stating that U.S. citizens stand at a higher risk when traveling to Cameroon and cautions U.S. citizens to avoid all travel to the Far North region of Cameroon.
cheapest car rental florida According to Naija Standard investigation, confirmed by US Department of States, it reportedly said “The Boko Haram terrorist group is active in the Far North, and has actively targeted foreign expatriates resident in Cameroon and tourists. Eleven expatriates have been kidnapped since 2013.  The most recent kidnapping was on April 4, 2014, when attackers kidnapped two Italian priests and a Canadian nun during the night from their residences in Tchere, near the city of Maroua, located approximately 60 kilometers from the Nigerian border.  A French priest was kidnapped from the town of Nguetchewe in November 2013, and a French cheapest car rental florida family of seven (three adults and four children) was kidnapped while travelling near Waza National Park in February 2013.  Boko Haram and an affiliated group, Ansaru, were responsible for the kidnappings of the French victims, and are believed to be responsible for the latest kidnappings in April 2014.  Boko Haram’s leaders have stated and demonstrated through their actions over the past year that they are actively seeking to kidnap “Westerners” and U.S. citizens travelling to or living in the Far North and North regions cheapest car rental florida of Cameroon.  In November 2013, the State Department designated Boko Haram and Ansaru as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.  Several large weapons caches attributed to Boko Haram were discovered in Cameroon and confiscated by authorities in 2013 and 2014, signaling the active presence of the group and pointing to the likelihood cheapest car rental florida of additional attacks.  All areas in the Far North region of Cameroon are affected by this warning.”
The U.S. Embassy cheapest car rental florida also urges extreme caution when travelling in the North and Adamaoua regions of Cameroon, especially within areas 100 kilometers of Cameroon’s border with Adamaoua state, Nigeria and north of Ngaoundere in the Adamaoua region of Cameroon.
The U.S. Embassy has placed restrictions on travel by U.S. officials to the North and Far North regions of Cameroon, as well as any travel north of Ngaoundere in the Adamaoua region.  All U.S. officials must receive advance clearance from the U.S. Embassy to travel to these regions.

The latest advisory cites concerns parts of Aguascalientes, Guerrero and Nayarit in central Mexico,

Spreading drug violence, kidnappings and carjackings in Mexico have led the U.S. State Department to increase the number of places it says Americans should avoid for safety reasons for the second time in less than a year.
A travel advisory dated Thursday  urged U.S. citizens to avoid all but essential travel to 14 states in northern and central Mexico, warning that U.S. citizens have fallen victim to drug-cartel related activity including homicide, gunbattles, kidnapping, carjacking and highway robbery.
The latest advisory cites concerns parts of Aguascalientes, Guerrero and Nayarit in central Mexico, and raises its advisory against non-essential travel to include Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Nuevo Leon, San Luis Potosi, Sinaloa and Zacatecas as well as Tamaulipas and Michoacan.

north shore hawaii vacation rentals America circa 2012:  Warn people not to go to Mexico for all its gun battles, kidnappings and car jackings, but let the very people responsible for the gun battles, kidnappings and car jackings migrate across the border without real consequences and remain here in spite of the dying-by-the-day immigration law.

U.S. citizens are encouraged to lower their personal profiles and to avoid wearing conspicuous jewel

The U.S. Department of State warns U.S. citizens about the risk of traveling in Mexico due to threats to safety and security posed by Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) in the country. U.S. citizens have been the target of violent crimes, such as kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery by TCOs in various Mexican states. For information on security conditions in specific regions of Mexico, which can vary, travelers omni new haven hotel should reference the state-by-state assessments further omni new haven hotel below.
omni new haven hotel This Travel Warning replaces the Travel Warning for Mexico, issued July 12, 2013, to update information about the security situation and to advise the public of additional restrictions on the travel of U.S. government (USG) personnel.
Millions of U.S. citizens safely visit Mexico each year for study, tourism, and business, including omni new haven hotel more than 150,000 who cross the border every day. The Mexican government dedicates substantial resources to protect visitors to major tourist destinations, and there is no evidence that Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) have targeted U.S. visitors or residents based on their nationality. Resort areas and tourist destinations in Mexico generally do not see the levels of drug-related violence and crime that are reported in the border region or in areas along major trafficking routes.
Nevertheless, U.S. travelers should be aware that the Mexican government has been engaged in an extensive effort to counter TCOs which engage in narcotics trafficking and other unlawful activities throughout Mexico. The TCOs themselves are engaged in a violent struggle to control omni new haven hotel drug trafficking routes and other criminal activity. Crime and violence are serious problems and can occur anywhere. U.S. citizens have fallen victim to criminal activity, including homicide, gun battles, kidnapping, carjacking omni new haven hotel and highway robbery. omni new haven hotel While most of those killed in narcotics-related violence have been members of TCOs, innocent persons have also been killed. The number of U.S. citizens reported to the Department of State as murdered in Mexico was 71 in 2012 and 81 in 2013.
Gun battles between omni new haven hotel rival TCOs or with Mexican authorities omni new haven hotel have taken place in towns and cities in many parts of Mexico, especially omni new haven hotel in the border region. Gun battles have occurred in broad daylight on streets and in other public venues, such as restaurants and clubs. During some of these incidents, U.S. citizens have been trapped and temporarily prevented from leaving the area. TCOs have used stolen cars, buses and trucks to create roadblocks on major thoroughfares, preventing the military and police from responding to criminal activity. The location and timing omni new haven hotel of future armed engagements is unpredictable. We recommend that you defer travel to the areas indicated in this Travel Warning and exercise extreme caution when traveling throughout the northern border region.
The number of kidnappings throughout Mexico is of particular concern and appears to be on the rise. According to statistics published by the Mexican Secretaria de Gobernacion (SEGOB), during the first 11 months of 2013 kidnappings nationwide increased 32 percent over the same period in 2012. While kidnappings can occur anywhere, according to SEGOB during this timeframe, the states omni new haven hotel with the highest numbers of kidnappings were Guerrero, Tamaulipas, Michoacán, Estado de Mexico, and Morelos. Additionally, according to a widely publicized study by the agency responsible for national statistics (INEGI, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography), Mexico suffered an estimated 105,682 kidnappings omni new haven hotel in 2012; only 1,317 were reported to the police. Police have been implicated omni new haven hotel in some of these incidents. Both local and expatriate communities have been victimized. Almost 90 kidnappings of U.S. citizens were reported to the U.S. Embassy and consulates in Mexico between April and November of 2013.
U.S. citizens are encouraged to lower their personal profiles omni new haven hotel and to avoid wearing conspicuous jewelry or clothing bearing logos of U.S. sports teams or military themed apparel which that may identify them as U.S. citizens. U.S. citizens are encouraged to maintain awareness of their surroundings omni new haven hotel and avoid situations in which they may be isolated.
Kidnappings in Mexico have included traditional, “express” and “virtual” kidnappings. Victims omni new haven hotel of traditional kidnappings omni new haven hotel are physically abducted and held captive omni new haven hotel until a ransom is paid for release. “Express” kidnappings are those in which a victim is abducted for a short time and forced to withdraw money, usually from an ATM, then released. A “virtual” kidnapping is an extortion by deception scheme wherein a victim is contacted by phone and convinced to isolate themselves from family and friends until a ransom is paid. The victim is coerced (by threat of violence) to remain isolated and to provide phone numbers for the victim’s family or loved ones. The victim’s family is then contacted and a ransom for the “kidnapped” extracted. Recently, some travelers to Mexico staying at hotels as guests have been targets of such “virtual” kidnapping schemes.
Carjacking and highway omni new haven hotel robbery are serious problems in many parts of the border region, and U.S. citizens have been murdered in such incidents. Most victims who complied with carjackers’ demands have reported that they were not physically harmed. Carjackers have shot at vehicles that have attempted to flee. Incidents have occurred during the day and at night, and carjackers have used a variety of techniques, including roadblocks, bumping/moving vehicles to force them to stop, and running vehicles off the road at high speeds. There are indications that criminals target newer and larger vehicles, especially dark-colored SUVs. However, even drivers of old sedans omni new haven hotel and buses coming from the United States have been targeted. While violent incidents can occur anywhere and at any time, they most frequently occur at night and on isolated roads. To reduce risk when traveling by road, we strongly urge you to travel between omni new haven hotel cities throughout Mexico only during daylight hours, omni new haven hotel to avoid isolated roads, and to use toll roads (“cuotas”) whenever possible.
The Mexican government has deployed federal police and military personnel throughout the country as part of its efforts to combat the TCOs. U.S. citizens traveling on Mexican roads and highways by car or bus may encounter government checkpoints, staffed by military or law enforcement personnel. TCOs have erected their own unauthorized checkpoints, at times wearing police omni new haven hotel and military uniforms, omni new haven hotel and killed or abducted motorists who have failed to stop at them. You should cooperate at all checkpoints.
The Department imposes restrictions omni new haven hotel on U.S. government employees’ travel omni new haven hotel in Mexico. Since July 2010, USG employees are prohibited from driving on non-official travel from the U.S.-Mexico border to or from the interior of Mexico or Central America. One exception omni new haven hotel is that personal travel omni new haven hotel by motor vehicle is permitted on Highway 15 toll road between Hermosillo and Nogales during daylight hours.
USG personnel and their families are prohibited from personal travel to all areas to which it is advised to “defer non-essential travel”. When travel for official purposes is essential, it is conducted with extensive security precautions. USG personnel and their families are allowed to travel for personal omni new haven hotel reasons to the areas where no advisory is in effect or where the advisory is to exercise omni new haven hotel caution. While the general public is not forbidden from visiting places categorized omni new haven hotel under “defer non-essential travel,” USG personnel will not be able to respond quickly to an emergency situation in those areas due to security precautions that must be taken by USG personnel to travel to those areas.
This message is to remind U.S. citizens residing and traveling omni new haven hotel in El Salvador of the critical crime threat in El Salvador. Most travelers to El Salvador experience no safety or security problems, but as noted in our August 9, 2013, Travel Warning for El Salvador, both random and organized violent crime is endemic throughout omni new haven hotel El Salvador. U.S. citizens are not normally omni new haven hotel singled out based on their nationality, but are subject to the same threats as all other persons in El Salvador.
Over the last several weeks, several omni new haven hotel joggers and pedestrians were robbed at gunpoint in the immediate area around U.S. Embassy San Salvador. Blogs associated with local running and cycling groups have also reported on runners being targeted in the Santa Elena area as well as other affluent areas, such as Escalon and San Benito. Due to these issues, U.S. Embassy security officials omni new haven hotel advise omni new haven hotel all U.S. Government personnel not to walk, run or cycle in the unguarded streets and parksof El Salvador, even in groups, and recommend exercising only in gyms and fitness centers.

A travel warning has been issued for U.S. citizens traveling to Honduras as of late December 2013. T

With the start of the new year, it s easy to begin planning out vacations for 2014. While you may want to visit everywhere in the world, the U.S. Department of the State issues travel warnings of where Americans should not visit. Some of them are more obvious than others, so we thought we would include a list where NOT to visit when making your travel plans.
The U.S. Department of the State issued its latest travel warning for the Republic of South Sudan on Jan. 3. In the warning it is advised hotels near orlando airport that no U.S. citizens travel to the country and anyone hotels near orlando airport in the country depart immediately stating the reason is due to the deteriorating security hotels near orlando airport situation. In fact, the Department of the State has already ordered most of the remaining U.S. government officials hotels near orlando airport to leave South Sudan. So if you are planning an African safari, make sure to avoid the Republic of South Sudan on your trip.
A travel warning has been issued for U.S. citizens traveling to Honduras as of late December 2013. This Central American country sees tens of thousands American visitors each year for studies, tourism and volunteer work, but the State Department warns that the level of crime and violence in Honduras remains critically high. For these reasons it is advised hotels near orlando airport for citizens to not visit Honduars. The State Department hotels near orlando airport even gives statistics that Honduras has had the highest murder rate in the world since 2010 (81 murders per 100,000 people). Thought crimes and violence don t seem to be targeted toward U.S. citizens, the Honduran government does not have the resources to alleviate the issue, in fact it has been reported many officials in the country hotels near orlando airport participate in crimes and other illegal activities. When exploring Central America, it s probably best to skip the Honduras trip.
A travel warning for Libya was issued also in December of 2013 urging U.S. citizens to not travel to the African country except essential travel to the city of Tripoli. The country experienced hotels near orlando airport a revolution back in 2011 and since then, the Libyan government has been trying hotels near orlando airport to increase the military, police and security in the country. Because of the lack of stable security, the U.S. Embassy in Libya remains hotels near orlando airport an unaccompanied post due to security concerns. As recently as Dec. 5, 2013, a U.S. citizen teacher was killed in Benghazi as a result of a drive-by shooting. Again, probably not the best vacation spot.
Sitting at the top of South America, it would be wise for travelers to avoid this country. Like Honduras, Venezuela sees tens of thousands of visitors each year for studies, tourism and volunteer work. And like Honduras, Venezuela sees an extremely high crime and murder rate (73 murders per 100,000 people). Even in the capital hotels near orlando airport of Caracas there are 122 homicides per 100,000 people. Other crimes include high kidnapping rates, drug trafficking and smuggling. Members of the U.S. Embassy in Caracas are subject to an embassy movement policy for their safety and well-being. Even with areas of the country restricted between certain hours.
Located east of Sudan and north of Ethiopia on the Red Sea, Eritrea is another country the U.S. Department of the State has strongly encouraged U.S. citizens not to visit. The Eritrea government has even implemented restrictions for foreign nationals to restrict their movement hotels near orlando airport when in the country citing permission is usually granted to areas such as Massawa and Keren, which are known tourist destinations; however, requests to areas near the borders and regions not frequently traveled by diplomats are typically turned down. The ongoing security concerns hotels near orlando airport strongly advise people to visit the country.

Yes, perhaps the Brits do know something but considering their past record, as is the one of the Ame

The Kenya Tourism Federation late yesterday issued the following statement, formulating the response of the tourism private sector over the highly-dramatic new anti-travel advisory which the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office, in short FCO, has slapped upon Kenya. The statement, while dealing with the impact on the tourism industry in Kenya first and foremost, also at last puts the Kenyan cruises mediterranean canadian dollars government on the spot, something cruises mediterranean canadian dollars this correspondent has in past months done on a regular basis providing cruises mediterranean canadian dollars a platform for the many voices who have demanded action from government in vain until now.
1. We are disappointed by the FCO statement discouraging cruises mediterranean canadian dollars all but essential travel to certain areas in the country including some parts of the Kenyan Coast. The UK has been a partner of Kenya for many years and is one of our key source markets for tourists. This advisory is a clear indication that impact of this on investments and employment was not considered as a key partner of Kenya. We urge the British Government to reverse this statement.
2. All indications are that the statement was updated based on security related information. As citizens and investors in the sector, we are greatly disappointed in the lackluster reaction and sometimes inaction by Government officials who should be handling this and reassuring citizens, investors and our tourist source markets.
3. We demand that Government gives tourism the importance cruises mediterranean canadian dollars it deserves. As one of the key sectors of the economy and a key pillar of the Kenya Vision 2030, we feel that the Government just gives lip service to its affairs. Government has to wake up to the fact that its forex incomes and tax revenues are going to take a major hit. Tea prices have already decreased significantly in the international market and tourism which is the 2nd highest foreign exchange earner for the country is facing a major crisis in the wake of its high season. Counties that rely on tourism for its revenues should also take notice that they will not be able to meet their budgets and should factor in at least a 30% reduction in their projected revenues and much more in some counties.
Jobs have been lost and more job losses are on the way. Why isn’t the Government taking this as a serious matter? When a Miraa ban was announced last year, the President of the republic of Kenya himself gave a statement on this. The silence from his office on the state of tourism is of increasing cruises mediterranean canadian dollars concern to us.
The tourism sector is not only a source of much needed foreign exchange and tax revenues but also a large employer cruises mediterranean canadian dollars and a consumer of products and services from other sectors of the economy. Its trickle-down effect cannot be ignored. A down turn in tourism will soon be felt in other productive sectors of the economy including Agriculture, food and beverage manufacturing, motor vehicle and many more.
Only hours after the Foreign and Commonwealth office cruises mediterranean canadian dollars had issued one of their worst ever anti-travel advisories against Kenya, reportedly over “credible threats” no one in Kenya seems to be aware of in spite of frantic efforts to get to the bottom of the hysteria perpetrated by the British government, did TUI UK cancel their charter series to Mombasa and will now go ahead to “evacuate” several hundred British citizens currently on location in Kenya who booked with them, bringing in several empty flights to take the vacationers home. It was in fact reported from a source in Mombasa that repeat guests denounced the measure and wanted to stay on, but probably will be unable to do so as the tour operators’ staff at the coast explained that there would simply be no further flights to bring them home once the last aircraft has left Mombasa for Britain, leaving them to buy their own tickets at their own added expense.
While “official Kenya” is trying to put a brave face on to this latest hammer blow and is understandably using diplomatic language to express their frustration and exasperation over the immediate fallout of the latest FCO anti-travel advisory, have stakeholders let their anger boil over in a series of comments received, most unfit to be repeated here. News that TUI UK, the British offspring of the world’s cruises mediterranean canadian dollars largest tour-operations conglomerate had cancelled all their flights into Kenya with immediate effect, will in coming weeks and months affect both beach and safari holidays and will leave hotels, safari lodges and beach resorts ponder what to do next. The move has left Kenyan tourism stakeholders in a state of near despair, as they see the rug pulled from underneath them, feel according to many comments victimized and subsequently making larger scale layoffs now a very likely scenario.
“Whatever our government officials now say to the British High Commission, perhaps hoping against hope that Britain might change the travel advisory and the situation can be saved, the damage by and large is done because other countries have already picked up the information and followed the British example. You were right yesterday what you wrote, many of us feel the dots got connected the right way, but what way forward now. What is it the Brits claim to know and have they shared that knowledge with our intelligence services, is there a real threat cruises mediterranean canadian dollars or just a repeat of those times when the Brits and Americans prohibited their staff in Nairobi to visit Mombasa. cruises mediterranean canadian dollars Back then they had to eat humble pie and withdraw cruises mediterranean canadian dollars their statements but if the UK charter is cancelled there is no coming back until perhaps the next winter schedule and even that may be in doubt.
I think Kenya is being singled out for reasons best known to the British government but reality is that this punishes the common wananchi cruises mediterranean canadian dollars who may now lose their jobs as drivers cruises mediterranean canadian dollars or guides or waiters cruises mediterranean canadian dollars or cooks. We feel there are some bad politics to blame on the side of Britain. These are seen as purely punitive measures and honestly, it will widen the rift which is already there since their interference last year before the elections. If we in Kenya ever needed another reason to look east, this is it.”
It is understood from information received late evening that diplomatic efforts cruises mediterranean canadian dollars are continuing to have the advisory either tempered or withdrawn though going by past experience chances for that are virtually nil.
A number of Kenyan tourism stakeholders will be heading to Germany’s IMEX trade show in Frankfurt next week, trying to tell the world that the destination is by and large safe for tourists while others, returning from the Africa Travel Week in Cape Town and INDABA in Durban had to concede that one of Kenya’s strongest African markets, South Africa, reduced cruises mediterranean canadian dollars by some 11 percent in 2013 over 2012, making new sales more of a challenge than in previous years.
In contrast is this correspondent’s experience cruises mediterranean canadian dollars after a second visit to Kenya in a month, which took place the previous day. When walking back from the Kenyatta International Convention Centre to the Sarova Stanley Hotel, I had to walk literally between two picket lines of supporters and opponents of Nairobi Governor Kidero, whose election was overturned by the Court of Appeals. Heckled from both sides, which were only meters apart with security personnel walking up and down the corridor, when asked Muzungu, who do you support,” the answer cruises mediterranean canadian dollars came straight like a shot “I am from Uganda, I support Museveni,” which caused laughter all round and defused the tension at that spot at least. Walking the city center felt throughout the now four days entirely safe, with no sign of trouble, no harassment by beggars or street cruises mediterranean canadian dollars kids – I at least did not see any unlike back home in Kampala cruises mediterranean canadian dollars – and no hotel doorman getting worked up seeing his guests walk out of the hotel, again unlike other places in Africa or elsewhere in the world where they are swift to intervene and urge clients to rather use a cab than walk.
Yes, perhaps the Brits do know something but considering their past record, as is the one of the American Embassy and State Department, this will probably pass like a cloud in the afternoon, now before the sun and then gone. Therefore, my advice is to visit Kenya, take precautions as one would do anywhere in the world to safeguard valuables cruises mediterranean canadian dollars and look out for potential trouble spots, but by all means come and visit Kenya. Not visiting would be like kicking one already down in the dust into the head, and civilized people just don’t do that.

This violent crime followed a warning issued in December 2013 by the the U.S. Department of State wa

In January we reported on an incident in Roatan where a U.S. family's rental car was shot up while on a beach access road. The family of four (with two children) were robbed at gunpoint and terrorized. The family had arrived in Roatan via a Carnival cruise ship.
This violent crime followed a warning issued in December 2013 by the the U.S. Department of State warning. You can read the warning here . Since 2010, Honduras has had the highest murder rate in the world. As I mentioned in our prior article, the warning indicates that the vast majority of serious crimes in Honduras, including those against U.S. citizens, are never solved; of the 50 murders committed against U.S. citizens since 2008, police have only solved two.
I ..i am female..came green day tour dates to roatan to dive and was basically attacked by 3 local men on this island. green day tour dates They assaulted me then robbed green day tour dates me..holding a knife to my neck. I heard them discussing kidnapping me for a ransom..or selling me to a slave market...to be taken out by boat. I got away when another tourist group drove by with several guys in the car. They saved my life. No one should go to this God forsaken island. I have learned a scary and nearly life ending lesson.
Another U.S. woman informed us that she and her two children (boys 15 and 16 years old) were robbed during a private excursion to a beach. They were held at gun point and knifepoint and robbed of all of their valuables. The woman, a single mother, stated that the cruise line, Royal Caribbean, did not warn them that there is a crime problem in Roatan or, in particular, armed robbery green day tour dates at the roads to and from the beaches in Roatan which seems to be a particular problem. The incident occured, according to the woman, at an access road to Palm Beach.
In addition to these two recent incidents green day tour dates which were reported directly to us by the victims, concerned expatriate U.S. citizens living in Roatan green day tour dates have told us about armed robbery on the island, mainly against people riding in taxi's or driving on beach access roads. We have learned that a taxi with four cruise passengers was recently stopped by two local men at Palm Beach. The men held a knife to a woman's throat and pointed a gun at a man's head. One robber reportedly fired a shot into the taxi. The men stole the cruise tourists' money, cell phones, cameras and other items.
After our article in January, we received comments from U.S. and Canadians living in Roatan that it was unfair to lump the island of Roatan with the mainland of Honduras as a dangerous place to live or visit. Some property owners who have invested in real estate in Roatan under the hope and belief green day tour dates that they would live in a slice of paradise may be second guessing green day tour dates themselves considering what appears to be increasing violence against people arriving from North America.
Some people don't like us to write articles like this, arguing that crime occurs everywhere or just use common sense. But all of the victims who contacted us were using common sense and doing what people normally do while on a vacation. The point is that certain types of crime occur more often in certain places than others. The problem is that criminals in these poor countries are targeting U.S. passengers with iPhones, cameras, jewelry and cash. The New York Times recently published an article green day tour dates about crime problems in Roatan: Security Concerns on a Honduran Island green day tour dates .
From our view, there appears to be a rising tide of crime against cruise passengers throughout green day tour dates the Caribbean ports. Honduras and the Bahamas are the only countries we know with port facilities which are the subject of warnings about crime from the U.S. State Department.
The cruise industry just convened their annual trade show, Cruise Shipping Miami, with much fanfare on Miami Beach. A delegation came from Honduras, promoting Roatan. I wonder what, if any, discussions the delegates from the Caribbean islands had with the cruise lines about keeping cruise passengers safe?
Folks really need to do serious homework before visiting -- and, in particular, moving to or investing in -- any of these "cheap pieces of paradise." Cheap is cheap for good reasons. The problem is, it is really difficult for people to find solid, credible, timely safety/security information green day tour dates about these destinations because the people who have the funds to promote and search-engine-optimize their promotions are the ones who have a personal/financial stake in drawing people, not in keeping them safe. Thanks, Jim, for reporting on these topics!
As an Ex-Pat living in Roatan. I can personally say that it is not safe to travel to Roatan. It is an absolutely pristine green day tour dates Island however, I suggest anyone thinking of traveling or investing in the Bay Islands; Have your affairs green day tour dates in order. There is not a functioning legal system in the Country. When you enter the Country you are totally green day tour dates on your own, if something should happen to you or your loved ones. Honduras has the highest murder rate per capita in the world. green day tour dates Cruise ship visitors think there is a safety net for them but I can not count the victims that have been left on there own, when jacked up by guns and machetes pointed at there heads.
53 days ago the mew Major of Roatan took office with the commitment to make Roatan a CRIME FREE territory. A plan has been put in place where hi tech security cameras have been placed all across the Island with its corresponding monitoring system and a call center green day tour dates to access the security forces. The Municipal police is being selected among those that have impeccable police records,higher education as a must, fully bilingual and well paid. 6 Police green day tour dates Posts are in the process of construction on the main road of the Island from Oakridge (East) to West End.12, well equipped Police patrol vehicles will be constantly patrol the Island. Beach vendors are being forced green day tour dates to bear the merchant licence green day tour dates given by the Municipality green day tour dates after a deep background investigation is performed. green day tour dates Shortly visitors will be scanned when arriving and leaving the Island. Those with criminal records will not be allowed to visit Roatan and invited to leave by the same means they came, immediately.
Sad to say but Roatan burdens the fact that it is part of Honduras where the crime rate is very high, however if the statistics were only for Roatan,the Island is one of the safest havens green day tour dates in Central America.
it is not totally safe anywhere. You have to be careful, even at home, so don't believe that these so called "paradise" destinations are perfectly safe and crime free. Unfortunately, some areas invites more press coverage than others, and the cruise industry is being targeted more than others.
Roatan is safe. This article is old news. I have lived on Roatan for 9 years and have never had a problem and I am in every village at all hours. Stop scaring people away from a very great place. All you are doing is taking food out of peoples mouths green day tour dates by trying to be an authority on crime. You are all off the mark. How many foreign people live on Roatan and have not had an incident? This is a great place to live with really great people. Come and enjoy and do not let the world make you not live "YOUR DREAMS"
Yikes! I just got off the Carnival Dream yesterday,April 5,2014. One of my stops was in Coxen Hole-Roatan. I didn't think I was ever going to see home again. Once I passed the security point and entered the district, I attracted a pseudo-travel guide. The man seemed friendly enough but wasn't quite understanding that I had no interest in his services. He continued to follow my every step knowing that I wanted to be left alone. He started to ask for money for the services he claims to have provided me ie:companionship. When I fervently protested that I had no money other than 10 dollars American, he insisted that he walk me to the bank to withdraw more. While making my way to the bank I became extremely nervous as he described a location called the Happy Frog. When we were at the Happy Frog I was told that the Hookers are kept here. I was one push away into the door. The establishment was secured with thick unpassable vertical wooden bars. There were women of all nationalities walking around aimlessly, with men who looked like they were in a meat market. I hoped that my debit card would provide me with money while in a foreign area. Once at the row of banks lined with police bearing green day tour dates machine guns, another problem arose. green day tour dates I couldn't read the word prompts on the ATM machine. My escort started poking at the screen telling me what to withdraw. When the police saw this transaction green day tour dates they intervened and told the man to back off. I hoped for reprive when I explained my ignorance and thought it wiser to just go into the bank. Yet another problem, tellers didn't speak English- NADA word! Unbenounced to me an undercover officer was watching. Because my escort wasn't allowed inside the bank the undercover green day tour dates took advantage of the timing and explained what he witnessed was something to be wary of and started to ramble off a list of possible outcomes and commenced with advice to me. He started to talk to one of the police officers as if to say, Yes she understands. I was then given a super fast lesson on the value of a Lempiras. 10 Lempiras = .50 cents I explained how the escort was asking for a tip and didn't know what to do. The undercover told me that it was up to me to make that decision. I hadn't the foggiest idea was WAS a norm if you were to give a tip for services rendered. In the end I had given 400 Lempiras and that seemed to be suffice. Albeit, he never left my side. My pseudo-travel green day tour dates guide walked with me from the moment I stepped out of security till the second I took one step back into the port. This gentleman, I'm glad to say, sat with me in the hair salon while my hair was being cut which was where I hoped to have given him the slip. Because of his persistent insistance of his presence an insurmountable amount of fear and tension weighed heavily upon my yoke the whole time I was in Roatan. I must say I will never de

I would like to vacation in Ixtapa in 2014. I've never had any reservations about travelling to Mexico before (have done many times) never been to Ixtapa. I've been reading conflicting reports on the safety there. Goverment site says safe to stay in resort royal star tour deluxe area. Others are saying not safe for road travel. I would assume if I fly into Ixtapa/Zi and take a cab to my resort I will be fine. I also read tourists walking to and from town at night with no issues. Please help...
The travel warnings are for the state of Guerrero, which is the Mexican state where Ixtapa, Zihuatanejo, and Acapulco royal star tour deluxe are. When they talk about avoiding road travel, they mean out in the state. They're not talking about the tourist areas of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo.

Hello everybody. We have a trip to Cancun pictures of cruise ships planned for early July. This trip will include my husband and myself, our two tween children, my husband's elderly parents and my husband's siblings and their spouses/ kids. I have some questions/ concerns. It has been many a year since my last trip to Mexico and after reading the u.s. Travel pictures of cruise ships warnings , I find myself anxious for my in laws, my kids, etc. We plan to stay mostly at the resort, but do have a trip to Chichenitza and X Carot planned. I'm a little worried about safety, mainly away from the resort. Ok. Here goes the list
Also pesos/ dollars. We plan to use a credit pictures of cruise ships card and cash. I wouldn't dream of trying to use dollars in other countries so why would I here? What is the best way rate wise to exchange and how much is reasonably safe to carry at a time?
First of all, take a deep breath and relax. No, it is not as bad as you are reading since all of the problems that are being reported in the Cancun area are related to drug traffic. Unless pictures of cruise ships you plan on doing that, vacation as you would elsewhere but take the same precautions you would anywhere pictures of cruise ships else. People usually get into trouble if they:
Credit cards are not always accepted everywhere in Mexico and it is not advisable to use them. Use cash, exchange your money at a cambio or bank into pesos and use that. Don't walk around flashing money. Not advisable anywhere in the world to do that.
There are very good hospitals in Cancun. If you have a problem, or even when you arrive at the resort, inquire as to who their attending doctor is and ask how that person can be contacted. Many of them will come to the resort to make a visit.
Bottled water, fresh food cooked well, washed fruit and vegetables are all a good idea. I can tell you I travel to Mexico pictures of cruise ships and live part time there many times a year. I have been sick a total of 2 times in the last 8 years. I eat everywhere and probably in places most people would not go. Look for restaurants that have a lot of people. Usually a good indicator of good food and food that is moved through pictures of cruise ships the restaurant quickly so it's not sitting around. Chichen Itza does have a small deli like place but I usually pack my own food when I go there. Many trips will eat along the way at restaurants unless you are taking a big tour bus. Xcaret is a large theme park. Can't say I've been since I tend to avoid places like that but I've heard it's wonderful. Again, look for food that is not been sitting around.
Where are you staying? Is it an all inclusive resort? The food/drinks offered at the resorts in Cancun are fine to consume. pictures of cruise ships They use filtered water, so it OK to eat and drink in the restaurants. Just don't drink water from the sink in your room. It's OK to shower with though.
I never use credit cards on vacation. Too easy for someone to scam the number off the card. We always bring and use US dollars, which seem to be appreciated and with the rate exchange is a better deal. Anywhere in Mexico and the Caribbean the US dollar is gladly pictures of cruise ships accepted. "I wouldn't dream of trying to use dollars in other countries so why would I here?" I do not understand this statement.
Are you taking a bus tour to Chichenitza? When we stayed in Cancun we took one of the big bus tours. pictures of cruise ships We toured Valladolid and went to a restaurant for a buffet pictures of cruise ships lunch, which was fine and then to a cenote before going to the Chichenitza. In July in will be very hot and humid. There is a restaurant there and we had the most delicious chicken pictures of cruise ships lime tortilla soup.
How did you plan to get to Xcaret? From Cancun a taxi will be overly expensive. I would suggest a tour that includes transporation. There is a night show with dinner that is awesome. It must be booked in advance. pictures of cruise ships Try and stay for that.
We have been going to Mexico about once per year since 2000. We never had any problems. Just use common sense. Most of the reports that you have seen are for the border areas of Mexico, not the tourist areas. Millions of people travel to Cancun, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen and the Mayan Riviera pictures of cruise ships all the time with no issues. We live 3 hours from a border town of Mexico in Texas. It's safer for me to visit Cancun than it is to basically live in my own town. Check a map to get some presceptive.
In Cancun, look at Aqua World for water activities. Also the La Isla mall is a nice place to go for the day and have lunch. There is a small dolphin show there also. La Casa Del Margaritas is a very good restaurant.
Thank you. Since we won't be drinking ourselves into a stupor or purchasing illicit drugs, I guess I can breathe on that score. I will ask about doctors on arrival at the resort, just to be prepared.
KVR- my husband is in line with your ideas about using dollars. I, on the other hand, always try to use local currency in case dollars are not accepted and they dont accept credit pictures of cruise ships cards. This has happened to us in the past. Yes, both Chihen Itza and x Caret will include transportation.
I didn't expect to find credit cards a no no. We always have one for emergencies pictures of cruise ships and if we unexpectedly find ourselves low on cash. Perhaps we will reassess that for Cancun. Thanks for the reassurance and suggestions.
Katzgar- although there isn't usually excessive concern about ths part of Mexico , 7 people were murdered in Cancun during spring break. So tourist presence is clearly not always a deterrent. It is due to the spreading drug violence and that I have children and elderly with me that I expressed unusual concern. .Thank you for your suggestion though.
I had pesos and dollars but use pesos when possible. Right now the rate is 13 pesos to 1 USD but often (taxis for one) you will only be offered pictures of cruise ships a 10 to 1 exchange rate. Would you rather pay 100 pesos (about $8.50) or $10? Your choice. If something is priced in USD, ask the price in pesos.
We always book our excursions on-line with a credit card about 30 days before arriving. When there we only use cash. Take lots of one dollar bills and 5 dollar bills for tipping. Nothing over a 20. I always try to pay in exact amounts for restaurants and shopping. If not, you will get pesos as change. After all of our several trips, I have accumulated way too much peso money that I will never use. My last trip to Mexico, I gave it all away. I do bring one credit card in case of a emergency, but have never used it.
Just stay in the tourist areas. Our last trip to Cancun was for my 40th birthday. We did a bar hopping tour that ended about 2am and we walked from the last club back to our hotel. No problem. Plenty of people out that time of night and cabs keep asking us if we wanted a ride because they wanted the fare. We walked and used the bus system day and night. No issues.
We have ben travelling to the Mayan Riviera for many years, in small hotels. We have never had any problems, so don't be afraid of leaving your 'compound'! You will be pleasantly surprised to see that this part of Mexico is quite safe, and the locals are friendly. pictures of cruise ships Your USA cell phones will work fine. Im not sure about Medicare, but most medical insurances should cover you in Mexico. Eating away from the resort will be fine - there are thousands of tourists from all over the world out and about, enjoying themselves, and they seem to survive. Most eating establishments serve purified ice and bottled water. The local beers are great. I typically use my credit card whenever possible, and carry about $400 pesos (about $35) in my wallet just in case. Your biggest worry might be the heat - July in this part of the world can be very hot indeed.
Your insurance will NOT pay for any hospital/medical bill while you are IN Mexico. pictures of cruise ships The hospital will demand payment from you right then and there. pictures of cruise ships You can then be reimbursed by your insurance co. when you get home. Check with your insurance co. to be sure of the details. Take a credit card with a high limit if you are worried about a hospital bill.
I would just reiterate what I said earlier. Be very careful with credit and debit cards. Do NOT use the Cashola machines that are on the street that dispense both US and MX funds. Only use bank machines where the card can just be swiped. Check your accounts when you return for several months and give your bank a heads up if you will be using the cards out of the country. Most people will not get skimmed but it does happen. pictures of cruise ships Do not flash money around.
Staying in the tourist areas with elderly folks may be your most comfortable zone to be in. I can understand that. I also understand that to see Mexico pictures of cruise ships you can't stay in the tourist zone or just go to Xcaret. Chichen Itza will be extremely hot in July so be prepared. There is very little shelter once you leave the entry building. There are also no toilets around the facility other than in the main building. Coba may be a better pictures of cruise ships choice for you as it is in the jungle more with shade and you can rent bicycles or pedicabs to get around. Just thought.
Schmerl is correct. If you require hospitalization make sure you have a credit card with you that will work. That means calling the company before you go and letting them know your plans. You don't want to get into a situation where your credit card is denied and it's an emergency.
Katzgar is also correct - the Yucatan is very safe for tourists as long as they don't act foolish. For the most part those tourists you are injured fall off balconies. I kid you not. Drink too much and hang over the edge. I can't tell you how many times I have seen people rent in my complex in Playa who insist on walking around the railing up on the penthouse roof.
If you only eat in the tourist zone you will be missing a lot of amazing food. Don't be afraid to venture out. You didn't say where you were staying; are you in Cancun itself, down the coast in on of the AI's or in Playa del Carmen?

The National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers Inc. (NAFBPO) extracts and condenses material from Mexican, Central and South American and U.S. on-line media sources, translating as necessary. You are free to disseminate this information, but we request that you do so in its entirety, as written, and credit cheap hotel rooms uk NAFBPO Inc. (nafbpo.org) as being the provider.
The U.S. Department of State warns U.S. citizens about the risk of traveling in Mexico due to threats to safety and security posed by Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) in the country. U.S. citizens have been the target of violent crimes, such as kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery cheap hotel rooms uk by TCOs in various cheap hotel rooms uk Mexican states. For information on security conditions cheap hotel rooms uk in specific regions of Mexico, which can vary, travelers should reference the state-by-state assessments further below.
This Travel Warning cheap hotel rooms uk replaces the Travel Warning for Mexico, issued July 12, 2013, to update information about the security situation and to advise the public of additional restrictions on the travel of U.S. government (USG) personnel.
Millions of U.S. citizens safely visit Mexico each year for study, tourism, and business, including more than 150,000 who cross the border every day. The Mexican government dedicates substantial resources to protect visitors to major tourist destinations, and there is no evidence that Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) have targeted U.S. visitors or residents based on their nationality. Resort areas and tourist destinations in Mexico generally do not see the levels of drug-related violence and crime that are reported in the border cheap hotel rooms uk region or in areas along major trafficking routes.
cheap hotel rooms uk Nevertheless, U.S. travelers should be aware that the Mexican government has been engaged in an extensive effort to counter TCOs which engage in narcotics trafficking and other unlawful activities throughout Mexico. The TCOs themselves are engaged in a violent struggle to control drug trafficking routes and other criminal activity. Crime and violence are serious problems and can occur anywhere. U.S. citizens have fallen victim to criminal activity, including homicide, gun battles, kidnapping, carjacking and highway robbery. While most of those killed in narcotics-related violence have been members of TCOs, innocent persons have also been killed. The number of U.S. citizens reported to the Department of State as murdered in Mexico was 71 in 2012 and 81 in 2013.
Gun battles between rival TCOs or with Mexican authorities have taken place in towns and cities in many parts of Mexico, especially in the border region. Gun battles have occurred in broad daylight on streets and in other public venues, such as restaurants and clubs. During some of these incidents, U.S. citizens have been trapped and temporarily prevented from leaving the area. TCOs have used stolen cars, buses and trucks to create roadblocks cheap hotel rooms uk on major thoroughfares, preventing the military and police from responding to criminal activity. The location and timing of future armed engagements is unpredictable. We recommend that you defer travel to the areas indicated in this Travel Warning and exercise extreme caution when traveling throughout the northern border region.
The number of kidnappings throughout Mexico is of particular concern and appears to be on the rise. According to statistics published by the Mexican Secretaria de Gobernacion (SEGOB), during the first 11 months of 2013 kidnappings nationwide increased 32 percent over the same period in 2012. While kidnappings can occur anywhere, according to SEGOB during this timeframe, the states with the highest numbers of kidnappings were Guerrero, Tamaulipas, Michoacán, Estado de Mexico, and Morelos. Additionally, according to a widely publicized study by the agency responsible for national statistics (INEGI, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography), Mexico suffered an estimated 105,682 kidnappings in 2012; only 1,317 were reported to the police. Police have been implicated in some of these incidents. Both local and expatriate communities have been victimized. Almost 90 kidnappings of U.S. citizens were reported to the U.S. Embassy and consulates in Mexico cheap hotel rooms uk between April and November of 2013.
U.S. citizens are encouraged to lower their personal profiles and to avoid wearing conspicuous jewelry or clothing cheap hotel rooms uk bearing logos of U.S. sports teams or military themed apparel which that may identify them as U.S. citizens. U.S. citizens are encouraged to maintain awareness of their surroundings and avoid situations in which they may be isolated.
Kidnappings in Mexico have included traditional, express and virtual kidnappings. Victims of traditional kidnappings are physically abducted and held captive cheap hotel rooms uk until a ransom is paid for release. Express cheap hotel rooms uk kidnappings are those in which a victim is abducted for a short time and forced to withdraw money, cheap hotel rooms uk usually from an ATM, then released. A virtual kidnapping is an extortion by deception scheme wherein cheap hotel rooms uk a victim is contacted by phone and convinced to isolate themselves from family and friends until a ransom is paid. The victim is coerced (by threat of violence) cheap hotel rooms uk to remain isolated and to provide phone numbers for the victim s family or loved ones. The victim s family is then contacted and a ransom for the kidnapped extracted. Recently, some travelers to Mexico staying cheap hotel rooms uk at hotels as guests have been targets of such virtual kidnapping schemes.
Carjacking and highway cheap hotel rooms uk robbery are serious cheap hotel rooms uk problems in many parts of the border region, and U.S. citizens have been murdered in such incidents. Most victims who complied with carjackers demands have reported that they were not physically harmed. cheap hotel rooms uk Carjackers have shot at vehicles that have attempted to flee. Incidents have occurred during the day and at night, and carjackers have used a variety of techniques, including roadblocks, bumping/moving vehicles to force them to stop, and running vehicles off the road at high speeds. There are indications that criminals target newer and larger vehicles, especially dark-colored SUVs. However, even drivers of old sedans and buses coming from the United States have been targeted. While violent cheap hotel rooms uk incidents cheap hotel rooms uk can occur anywhere and at any time, they most frequently occur at night and on isolated roads. To reduce risk when traveling by road, we strongly urge you to travel between cities cheap hotel rooms uk throughout Mexico cheap hotel rooms uk only during daylight hours, to avoid isolated roads, and to use toll roads ( cuotas ) whenever possible.
The Mexican government has deployed federal police and military personnel throughout the country as part of its efforts to combat the TCOs. U.S. citizens traveling on Mexican roads and highways by car or bus may encounter government checkpoints, staffed by military cheap hotel rooms uk or law enforcement personnel. TCOs have erected their own unauthorized checkpoints, at times wearing police and military uniforms, and killed or abducted motorists who have failed to stop at them. You should cooperate at all checkpoints.
cheap hotel rooms uk The Department imposes restrictions on U.S. government employees travel in Mexico. Since July 2010, USG employees are prohibited from driving on non-official cheap hotel rooms uk travel from the U.S.-Mexico border to or from the interior of Mexico or Central America. One exception cheap hotel rooms uk is that personal travel by motor vehicle is permitted cheap hotel rooms uk on Highway 15 toll road between Hermosillo and Nogales during daylight hours.
USG personnel and their families are prohibited from personal travel to all areas to which it is advised to defer non-essential travel . When travel for official purposes is essential, it is conducted with extensive security precautions. USG personnel and their families are allowed to travel for personal reasons to the areas where no advisory is in effect or where the advisory is to exercise caution. While the general public is not forbidden from visiting places categorized under defer non-essential travel, USG personnel will not be able to respond quickly to an emergency situation in those areas due to security precautions that must be taken by USG personnel to travel to those areas.
This message is to remind U.S. citizens residing and traveling in El Salvador of the critical crime threat in El Salvador. Most travelers to El Salvador experience no safety or security problems, but as noted in our August 9, 2013, Travel Warning for El Salvador, both random and organized cheap hotel rooms uk violent crime is endemic throughout El Salvador. U.S. citizens are not normally singled out based on their nationality, but are subject to the same threats as all other persons in El Salvador.
Over the last several weeks, several joggers and pedestrians were robbed at gunpoint in the immediate area around U.S. Embassy San Salvador. Blogs associated with local running and cycling groups have also reported cheap hotel rooms uk on runners being targeted in the Santa Elena area as well as other affluent areas, such as Escalon and San Benito. Due to these issues, U.S. Embassy security officials advise all U.S. Government personnel not to walk, run or cycle in the unguarded streets and parksof El Salvador, even in groups, and recommend exercising only in gyms and fitness centers.

On 11th September 2001 a criminal act happened in New York, not a declaration of war. George W. Bush

After the attack on Iraq a frequently cheap airline fairs to mnl heard comment from those with no interest in foreign affairs or much, from activists, journalists and political observers of all hues, was: “Soon no American or British citizen cheap airline fairs to mnl will be safe anywhere on earth, for decades to come. ”
It was repeated after Libya, at every sabre rattling cheap airline fairs to mnl at Iran. Throughout the meddling, funding and support for terrorists in Syria the phrase has resurfaced, as again after US Under Secretary Victoria Nuland boasted of her government’s $5 billion illegal coup in Ukraine. Guantanamo, renditions, secret prisons cheap airline fairs to mnl and US drone strikes are also cited. Abu Ghraib and other atrocities are unforgotten.
The predictions seemingly were correct. On September 25th 2013, the US Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs issued cheap airline fairs to mnl a “Worldwide Caution”(1) for US nationals traveling anywhere on earth. On 10th April this year it was updated, further cheap airline fairs to mnl alerting cheap airline fairs to mnl travelers to: “… the continuing threat of terrorist actions and violence against U.S. citizens and interests throughout the world.” (Emphasis mine.)
Information suggests that: “terrorist attacks are also planned: against cheap airline fairs to mnl U.S. interests cheap airline fairs to mnl in multiple regions, including Europe, cheap airline fairs to mnl Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.  These attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics including suicide operations, assassinations, kidnappings, hijackings, cheap airline fairs to mnl and bombings.”
“high-profile sporting events, residential areas, business offices, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, public areas, shopping malls, and other tourist destinations both in the United States and abroad where U.S. citizens gather …”
If the warnings are correct, it has to be wondered if the State Department has reflected on cause and effect. Having interviewed over the years, measured people of all walks of life, whose entire families, friends, colleagues have been victims of  indiscriminate, random US attacks cheap airline fairs to mnl on a barely imaginable scale, atrocities which, the “international community”, had they been committed by any other nation, would condemn cheap airline fairs to mnl as crimes of enormity cheap airline fairs to mnl by rogue states are lauded as “liberation.”
The bereaved, friends and helpers, try hour after hour to collect body parts bits of bone, flesh, a bit of a skull or jaw and attempt to establish by skin colour, cheap airline fairs to mnl texture, which pathetic fragments belong to which beloved person, ensuring the right remains cheap airline fairs to mnl are placed together in the shroud, coffin, these pathetic shredded pieces of infants, children, cheap airline fairs to mnl husbands, wives, sons, daughters, brothers, aunts, uncles, grandparents. The atrocity unsurprisingly usually breeds an all-consuming desire for revenge with which, for anyone whose has had direct experience and heard those of the relations, rescuers,, it would be impossible not to understand.
One example, cheap airline fairs to mnl stays indelibly engraved on my mind, over twenty years of unending US aggression. Mohammed was just ten years old when he went to overnight with his mother, brothers – including a baby brother just weeks old and sisters during the 1991 attack on Iraq, to Baghdad’s Ameriyah air raid Shelter.
The Shelter, equipped with bunk beds, showers, generator-driven electricity, television, kitchens, cheap airline fairs to mnl was a haven of normality and safety in a city where the electricity and water system had been deliberately destroyed, being “carpet bombed” daily.
This temporary sanctuary was deliberately targeted by the US who had obtained the plans, identified the weak points, the ventilation shafts. All but fourteen of the several hundred mothers, cheap airline fairs to mnl children and elderly for whom the Shelter was reserved, were incinerated.
Mohammed was just ten when he survived the inferno. He rescued an old man “whose flesh came away in my hands” cheap airline fairs to mnl and a baby. His mother and siblings were incinerated. The attack happened on the anniversary of the start of the fire bombing of Dresden in World War II
He was twelve when we met. Quiet, dignified, articulate way beyond his years. His story, as so many victims of US bombs, drones and “surgical strikes” cheap airline fairs to mnl across the globe, would haunt the hardest cheap airline fairs to mnl heart.
Eventually I asked: “How do you feel about those who did this?” His composure cheap airline fairs to mnl cracked, perspiration broke out on his face, neck, and backs of his hands: “When I grow up, I am going to join the (elite) Republican Guard – and if I die and if I have to wait a thousand years, I will come back and get my revenge.” In the 2003 invasion, he would have been twenty two.
If he survived the further mass incinerations of “Shock and Awe”, he would have undoubtedly joined the resistance and attacked those from a country cheap airline fairs to mnl who had burned his family and friends alive. If he survived that and perhaps left Iraq, he and countless who had suffered so wickedly would surely harbor vengeance in their hearts for Americans any place, anywhere, for all time. As, of course, Afghan and Libya victims, drone victims from Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan.
In Pakistan extensive research (2) shows the constant terror of the children, many who have been exposed to the aftermath of drones, seen the bloody, cheap airline fairs to mnl shattered remnants of friends cheap airline fairs to mnl and relatives. For parents and relations is the added terror of being unable to protect cheap airline fairs to mnl them. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is suffered by a generation of children:
“If you bang a door, they’ll scream and drop like something bad is going to happen”, states a Pakistani mental health professional. cheap airline fairs to mnl His deepest worry is for the long-term ramifications of such psychological trauma on children:
“The biggest cheap airline fairs to mnl concern I have as a (mental health professional) is that when the children grow up, the kinds of images they will have with them, it is going to have a lot of consequences. You can imagine the impact it has on personality development. People who have experienced such things, they don’t trust people; they have anger, desire for revenge . . . (children) growing up with these impressions, it causes permanent (mental) scarring and damage.”
The searing grief and rage of adults is encapsulated by the vow of a multiply bereaved survivor of just one US atrocity in Iraq: “I have twelve in my family, I have fifty cousins and five thousand in my tribe …” all of them would be seeking revenge, he intimated. How many times have these emotions been replicated in US targeted countries in the last two plus decades cheap airline fairs to mnl alone?
In majority Muslim nations, according to Pew Research (3) by 2012 President Obama’s popularity ratings had slipped from a woeful 34% to just 15%. Globally, anger over drone strikes and concerns: cheap airline fairs to mnl “about how the U.S. uses its power – in particular its military power – in international affairs” dominated.
America has, of course, made an art form of portraying the leaders of countries they seek to attack and invade, for oil, minerals, strategic interests as demonic, mass murdering megalomaniacs which threaten the entire planet – especially the US. The not so subliminal message is: so are their populations.
Now it seems, if the US Department of State is to be believed, a global collective psyche has relegated the boot to the other foot and for many, all Americans are George cheap airline fairs to mnl Bush Senior, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. The latter now unrecognizable as the deliverer of his “New Beginnings” speech (4) at Cairo University (4th June 2009) which included: “The Holy Koran teaches that whoever kills an innocent is as it is as if he has killed all mankind. And the Holy Koran also says whoever saves a person, cheap airline fairs to mnl it is as if he has saved all mankind.” That was then, this is now. Some more from the State Department’s warning:
“Iraq is experiencing levels of violence cheap airline fairs to mnl not seen since 2007 … the threat of attacks against U.S. citizens, including kidnapping and terrorist violence, continues, even in Baghdad’s International Zone” (home to the US Embassy.) Goodness, I wonder why.
Bahrain: “continues to see increasingly  …lethal IED attacks against Bahraini Government targets to include facilities and security forces.” Nothing cheap airline fairs to mnl to do with grievances against a repressive regime, which fires live rounds on demonstrators, backed by the US, which also has it’s Fifth Fleet based there?
Algeria, Saudi Arabia and Mali come in to the frame and: “In Libya, various groups have called for attacks against U.S. citizens and U.S. interests … (there have been) specific threats cheap airline fairs to mnl against U.S. government officials and U.S. non-governmental cheap airline fairs to mnl organizations …Because of the presumption that foreigners, especially U.S. citizens in Libya, may be associated cheap airline fairs to mnl with the U.S. government or U.S. NGOs …” travelers “should act with extreme caution.” Cause and effect in neon lights.
Kenya, Senegal, Mali, Algeria, Niger, Chad, Sudan, Eritrea, Nigeria, Cameroon are flagged up, with: “threats against Westerners in Mali and elsewhere increased following the initiation of the U.S.-supported, French-led intervention … U.S. citizens cheap airline fairs to mnl considering cheap airline fairs to mnl travel by sea near the Horn of Africa, the Gulf of Guinea, or in the southern Red Sea should exercise extreme caution.” U.S. citizens are warned “to avoid all travel” to Somalia. Remember the raids, the drone strikes, ancient and modern?
More warnings of: “ … attacks in the region, possibly against U.S. government facilities, U.S. citizens, or U.S. interests.” In Pakistan: “a number of extremist groups continue to target U.S. … interests.”
At the end of the document there is a “Before You Go” advisory, for all but the stoutest hearted, who having planned to travel and not now cowering behind locked doors. It includes: “ … The Department of State continues to develop information on potential security threats to U.S. citizens overseas” sharing: “credible threat information” … Travel Warnings, Travel Alerts, cheap airline fairs to mnl Country Emergency and Security Messages …”
On 11th September 2001 a criminal act happened in New York, not a declaration of war. George W. Bush declared revenge on the world, with plans to attack “seven countries in five years.” (5) Surely among the biggest acts of terrorism in history. Barack Obama has continued in the mould, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, drones. The all has come back to haun
