March 10, 2010. Government Warning Issued for Chad

SOURCE:U.S. Department of State

U.S. Embassy N'Djamena issued the following Warden Message on March 10, 2010:

This Warden Message updates information sent on March 2, 2010.

Post has received information from various sources indicating that groups hostile to U.S. interests may be operating in Chad with the intent to commit violence. We continue to monitor and evaluate these reports. In response to these threats, the US Embassy has placed restrictions on the movement of its employees. Embassy personnel are currently prohibited from frequenting areas where Westerners are known to congregate and from staying in hotels around N'Djamena. The Embassy has also instituted a curfew for all American employees.

We remind U.S. citizens in Chad to follow good security practices and remain aware of their security environment. Personal security awareness, along with good security practices, are the first line of defense against becoming a victim. The Embassy will advise private Americans when the security restrictions on official personnel are changed.

Remember, if you believe you are being followed, immediately drive to a safe location. Do not drive to your residence. Also, be sure to tell your family or a friend of your travel plans, even if just going to a few places in town.
