Somalia - A Brief warning U.S. citizens are warned not to travel to Somalia. The Liaison Office in Mogadishu ceased operations in September 1994. No visas are required because there is no functioning government. Anyone entering Somalia must receive immunization against cholera, typhoid and yellow fever, and obtain a doctor’s advice regarding any other immunizations that might be necessary. There are virtually no health facilities or medicines available in Somalia. Looting, banditry and all forms of violent crime are common in Somalia, particularly in the capital city of Mogadishu. Electricity, water, food and lodging are unobtainable on a regular basis. Parts of the north, including much of the self-declared "Republic of Somaliland," are relatively peaceful and calm. Hmm, lots to think about huh? Thanks for dropping by. See you here tomorrow at the travel blog. Suzie Posted: Saturday 26th March 2005, 1:18 AM
