FOREIGN OFFICE UPDATES TRAVEL ADVICE FOR TANZANIA (15/01/03)
The Foreign Office today amended its travel advice for Tanzania.
Our assessment that most visits to Tanzania are trouble-free remains
in force.
However, travel advice has been updated. The paragraph under the
heading Terrorism now reads:
'We believe that Tanzania, including Zanzibar and Pemba Islands, is
one of a number of countries in East Africa and the Horn of Africa
where there may be an increased terrorist threat. We have received
information that an international terrorist group may be planning an
attack on the island of Zanzibar. British nationals in Tanzania, and
especially in Zanzibar, should be vigilant, particularly in public
places frequented by foreigners such as hotels, restaurants, shopping
malls, markets, bars and nightclubs.'

Tanzania - terrorism (January 15, 2003) 
 
The November 28 bombing of a tourist hotel near Mombasa, Kenya, and
the missile attack on a departing aircraft at Mombasa International
Airport demonstrate a dangerous deterioration in the security problems
in east Africa. These attacks highlight the increased threat of
terrorism in Tanzania, including Zanzibar and Pemba. This along with
the heightened tensions as a result of the Iraq situation, and
increased threats globally from terrorism, put Canadians at greater
risk. Canadians should maintain a high level of personal security
awareness at all times as the security situation could deteriorate
rapidly without notice. Exercise extreme caution, particularly in
commercial, public and tourist areas frequented by foreigners,
including nightclubs, bars, hotels, restaurants and markets. Canadians
in Tanzania, including Zanzibar and Pemba, should monitor local
developments, avoid crowds and demonstrations, as well as register and
remain in regular contact with the Canadian High Commission in Dar es
Salaam or the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade
(call collect: 
613-996-8885
).

Given the possible risk of terrorist attacks against Western interests
in Tanzania, including Zanzibar and Pemba Islands, Australians should
exercise extreme caution and maintain a high level of personal
security awareness. Australians should avoid all political rallies and
large public gatherings and be alert to robbery and petty theft,
especially in national parks and beaches. 
Safety and Security 
Given the possible risk of terrorist attacks against Western interests
in Tanzania, including Zanzibar and Pemba Islands, Australians in
Tanzania should exercise extreme caution, particularly in commercial
and public areas known to be frequented by foreigners such as hotels,
clubs, restaurants, bars, schools, places of worship, outdoor
recreation events and tourist areas. Specifically, Australians should
note recent public warnings about the possibility of a terrorist
attack on foreigners in Zanzibar. 
Australians should avoid all political rallies and large public
gatherings. In Zanzibar and Pemba Islands, clashes between
demonstrators and security forces in January 2001 resulted in a number
of deaths. The potential for isolated outbreaks of violence exists. 
Western parts of the country, near the borders of the Democratic
Republic of Congo, Burundi and Rwanda are particularly subject to
banditry flowing from conflict in the Great Lakes region. Travel in
these areas, especially at night, should be avoided.
