Terrorism: US Bans Citizens From Visiting Five West African Countries by ExAngel007(f): 4:06pm On Mar 17, 2016
The united States announced a restriction on its servicemen
barring them from travelling to five countries in West Africa.
According to Reuters, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Falvo who is a
spokesman for U.S. Africa Command made this known on
Wednesday, March 16.

The order restricts unofficial visit by service men to Senegal,
Guinea, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Ghana,


This order was given due to the recent terrorist attacks in the
region.

Falvo said: “It’s just increased vigilance given the recent events
that have happened in that area of the world.”

On Sunday March 13, 19 people were killed at a beachside
resort in Ivory Coast. The attack was reportedly carried out by
Al Qaeda’s branch in North Africa.

The same group also claimed responsibility for a January
attack on a hotel and restaurant in Burkina Faso’s capital,
Ouagadougou that killed 29 people as well as a November
hotel siege in Mali.

A spokesperson of Pentagon, Lieutenant Colonel Michelle
Baldanza said the order does not restrict official travel but the
unofficial visits were banned till June30.


The U.S. Africa Command has between 1,000 and 1,200 forces
on the continent mostly in training and support roles to help
local security forces combat militants.

Meanwhile, the US as condemned in the strongest terms the
terrorist bombing at a mosque
on March 16 near Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State in
northeastern Nigeria. Dozens of people were killed and injured.
In a statement by the US diplomatic mission in Nigeria, US
extend its deepest condolences to the families of the latest
victims of Boko Haram’s senseless brutality.
