‘Do Not Travel’: Bangladesh Protests Turn Violent, U.S Urges Citizens to Reconsider Travel Plans
The United States has escalated its travel advisory for Bangladesh to Level 4 — "Do Not Travel" — amid escalating civil unrest and violence that has rocked the South Asian nation.
The advisory, issued by the US Department of State, advises American citizens to avoid travel to Bangladesh due to ongoing unrest, crime, and terrorism concerns.
The advisory also authorises the voluntary departure of non-emergency US government employees and their families from Bangladesh, reflecting the gravity of the situation on the ground.
This recommendation comes in the wake of severe clashes over government job allocations, which have resulted in over 40 deaths and hundreds of injuries.
Bangladesh is facing severe civil unrest as student protests over government job quotas escalate. The death toll has reached 133, prompting authorities to impose a nationwide curfew, deploy the military, and issue shoot-on-sight orders. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has cancelled diplomatic plans amid the crisis. An internet shutdown has been implemented, hampering communication. Nearly 1,000 Indian students have been evacuated, while others remain under the High Commission's watch. The US has warned against travel to Bangladesh and is removing some diplomatic staff. The situation continues to be volatile and closely monitored internationally.
