NAIROBI (DOOXO NEWS) – The UK has renewed its travel restrictions to Somalia urging its citizens against any travel to the country.

“Any British nationals in areas of Somalia to which the FCO advise against all travel should leave,” the advisory read in part.
The advisory noted ‘terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Somalia’ adding there is a high threat of kidnap throughout the country.
