Britons Warned to Leave Somaliland

{{Any British nationals in Somaliland should leave immediately because of “a specific threat to Westerners”, the UK Foreign Office has said.}}

It was already advising Britons in Somalia, including Somaliland, to leave, but has reissued its advice in light of the new threat.

It says kidnapping “motivated by criminality or terrorism” remains a threat throughout Somalia.

Last week, a similar warning was issued for Britons to leave Libya’s Benghazi.
