Reisehinweis Großbritannien (FCDO) — Mali

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has issued an "avoid all travel" advisory for Mali at the highest severity level. This follows updated information about recent terrorist attacks across the country. The advisory applies to Mali in its entirety, with an affected radius of approximately 600 km.

If you are currently in Mali, you face extreme risks including terrorism, crime, and kidnapping. The situation is serious enough that multiple governments recommend against all travel to the country for any reason. You should consider your safety situation immediately and explore options to leave if you have not already done so.

Follow all instructions from your embassy or consulate and local authorities. Register with your government's travel registration service if you have not already. Avoid all non-essential movement, stay informed through official channels, and maintain contact with your embassy. For specific guidance on your circumstances, contact your nearest diplomatic mission.

This alert is based on confirmed information from the UK Foreign Office, US State Department, French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Canadian Government, and German authorities.
