Country overall: High Risk
Yemen is currently experiencing violent instability in Sanaa and throughout the country. Anti-government protests, Islamic militancy, tensions between the north and south of the country and weak government control in areas, contribute to a worsening situation. The threat from terrorism is high and international terrorist networks operate in the country. Kidnapping occurs and foreigners have been abducted in 2009. Maritime piracy in the Gulf of Aden is carried out by both Yemeni and Somali pirates. Multiple governments advise their nationals to avoid Yemen at this time.
