U.S. Embassy in Zimbabwe

Location: Zimbabwe

Event: Heightened Middle East Tensions

There is heightened tension in the Middle East that may result in security risks to U.S. citizens abroad.

Out of an abundance of caution, U.S. Embassy personnel are instructed to be aware that extremists increasingly aim to identify and attack “soft” targets, such as:

• high-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
• hotels, clubs and restaurants
• places of worship
• schools
• parks
• shopping malls and markets
• tourism infrastructure and tourist sites
• public transportation systems
• airports

The Embassy will continue to review the security situation and will provide additional information as needed.

Actions to Take:

• Keep a low profile.
• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Stay alert in locations frequented by tourists
• Review your personal security plans.
• Have travel documents up to date and easily accessible.
