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.
