Three countries urge caution before traveling to U.S.
The United States appears as a trouble spot to countries warning their citizens about coming here.
Click here for reuse options!The United States regularly issues travel warnings urging Americans to either avoid or exercise caution in countries marred by violence or political instability.
Now America is the focus of concern by foreign governments in the Middle East and Caribbean as protesters marched in U.S. cities throughout the weekend after police killed black men in Louisiana and Minnesota.
The protests have led to numerous arrests, scuffles and injuries in confrontations between police and demonstrators. America was also tense after a lone black gunman on Thursday shot dead five police officers during a protest in Dallas.
The U.S. embassy of Bahrain, a tiny Middle Eastern island nation, on Saturday urged citizens via twitter to “be cautious of protests or crowded areas occurring around the U.S.”
Bahamas, a Caribbean nation where most people identify as being of African heritage, on Friday warned its people to be careful when visiting U.S. cities rocked by “shootings of young black males by police officers.”
“In particular young males are asked to exercise extreme caution in affected cities in their interactions with the police. Do not be confrontational and cooperate,” Bahamas foreign ministry said in a travel advisory.
The United Arab Emirates urged its students and other citizens in the United States to also be careful, using similar language the U.S. State Department employs when warning Americans about countries that have fallen victim to attacks by extremists.

Visiting the US is not exactly as it used to be, it seems…

This is common knowledge in many Caribbean, South American and Central American countries.
It’s probably appropriate that some nations now formalize what has been cautioned from parent to child for the last 30+ years.

How crazy is our world? Middle Eastern countries are warning their citizens about the dangers of visiting America. If I didn’t know better, I would say Osama is smiling from the grave.
