- Avoid demonstrations, crowds and military or police sites. Never photograph them.
- Carry your passport (and a copy) at all times; follow curfews and checkpoints instructions calmly.

- Share your plans with someone you trust and with your embassy's registration service if it exists.
- Kidnapping and terrorism risk is very high.
