Canada warns citizens against traveling to Afghanistan
On Friday, January 3rd, Canada’s Foreign Affairs Ministry issued a notice urging its citizens to avoid all travel to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
The advisory cites ongoing security concerns, including terrorism, armed conflict, kidnapping, arbitrary detention, high crime rates, and widespread human rights violations under Taliban rule.
The statement also noted that Canada’s embassy in Afghanistan remains suspended, severely limiting consular assistance. Citizens currently in Afghanistan are advised to stay in secure shelters and, if necessary, move cautiously to safer locations.
Canada warned that the security situation in Afghanistan remains highly unstable and dangerous.
This advisory follows similar warnings from other nations, including the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom, urging their citizens to avoid travel to Afghanistan.
