US Warns Citizens Against Travelling to Libya

US Warns Citizens Against Travelling to Libya
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The United States Department of State has reissued its highest-level travel advisory for Libya, warning American citizens to avoid all travel to the North African country due to ongoing threats, including terrorism, armed conflict, and civil unrest.

In the updated Level 4 advisory, released on Wednesday, the State Department cited a host of grave concerns: “crime, terrorism, unexploded landmines, civil unrest, kidnapping, and armed conflict.” The notice underscores the unpredictable and dangerous environment, urging all Americans currently in Libya to leave immediately using commercial transport options.

The advisory highlights the growing threat of terrorist attacks in public spaces such as markets, government facilities, transportation hubs, and hotels. According to the State Department, such attacks could occur “with little or no warning.” Kidnapping is also rampant, with U.S. citizens potentially targeted for ransom or political leverage.

Adding to the dangers are widespread remnants of war. “Unexploded landmines, cluster munitions, and ammunition” continue to pose risks across the country. Sporadic clashes between rival armed groups have also heightened the instability, often erupting without warning—even in major cities.

With limited diplomatic operations in Libya, the United States government warns it cannot provide regular consular support to citizens in the country. It strongly advises all U.S. nationals to reconsider any plans to travel to Libya and to leave immediately if already present.

This reissued advisory reaffirms Libya’s status as one of the most dangerous travel destinations for Americans, reflecting the ongoing collapse of law and order and the absence of a unified security apparatus.
