              | Military
                action in Iraq continues. Developments in Iraq and on the Middle
                East Peace Process continue to have an impact on local public
                opinion in the region and this might be expressed by some
                people, including through acts of violence against British
                nationals or organisations. You should follow news reports and
                be alert to regional developments. 
 There is reliable evidence that international terrorists are
                targeting western, including British interests in Yemen. The
                threat to British individuals and organisations from terrorism
                is high. Terrorist attacks in countries in the region could
                involve the use of chemical and biological materials.
 
 We therefore advise against all travel. If you are already in
                Yemen you should consider leaving. British businesses and
                schools and British nationals resident in Yemen should review
                their personal security arrangements with the greatest of care.
                You should maintain a high level of vigilance, particularly in
                public places frequented by foreigners such as hotels,
                restaurants and shopping malls. You should take sensible
                precautions for your personal and vehicle safety and avoid any
                political gatherings and demonstrations.
 
 British Diplomatic Missions in Yemen are closed to the public
                and are able to offer only limited Consular assistance to those
                who choose to remain. We have withdrawn all but a small
                complement of staff.

 | JEMEN |  12. April
                2003 |  
              | A
                U.S.-led coalition began military action in Iraq on March 19,
                2003. Given the heightened tensions as a result of these
                hostilities, together with increased threats globally from
                terrorism, Canadians are advised not to travel to Yemen.
                Canadians should evaluate their need to remain in Yemen and if
                their presence is not essential should consider leaving.
                Information on the crisis in Iraq is available at
                www.iraqcrisis.gc.ca. 
 Canadians who choose to remain in Yemen despite this warning
                should not travel outside major cities and should maintain a
                high level of personal security awareness at all times as the
                security situation could deteriorate rapidly without notice.
                Exercise extreme caution, particularly in commercial, public and
                tourist areas frequented by foreigners. Canadians should monitor
                local developments, avoid crowds and demonstrations, as well as
                register and remain in regular contact with the Consulate of
                Canada in Sanaa, the Canadian Embassy in Riyadh (see below) or
                the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (call
                collect 613-996-8885).
 
 Avoid leaving vehicles unattended. In the event that you have to
                do so, carefully inspect both the interior and exterior upon
                return to detect any attached devices or suspect packages nearby.
                Treat mail and packages from unfamiliar sources with suspicion.
                If you notice anything unusual, contact your sponsor or call the
                Yemeni police immediately. Suspects as well as witnesses to
                incidents may be held for lengthy periods without access to
                legal counsel or consular officials. If access is granted, it
                may be severely limited by the Yemeni authorities.

              | Le
                déclenchement des opérations militaires en Iraq peut entraîner
                une aggravation de la menace terroriste. Il est conseillé de
                surseoir à tout projet de voyage sauf raison impérative. En
                raison du contexte régional et à l'approche des élections législatives
                du 27 avril 2003, l'Ambassade de France à Sanaa recommande aux
                ressortissants français présents dans le pays de faire preuve
                de la plus grande vigilance, d'adopter une attitude de réserve
                et de limiter leurs déplacements. |

 | JEMEN | 28. März 2003 |  
              | This
                Travel Warning is being updated to alert U.S. citizens that the
                Department of State has authorized the departure of adult family
                members and non-emergency personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa
                on a voluntary basis. Due to credible reports that terrorists
                have planned attacks against U.S. interests in Yemen and
                heightened tensions and increased security concerns resulting
                from the current situation in the region, the security threat to
                all American citizens in Yemen remains high. The Department of
                State continues to warn U.S. citizens to defer travel to Yemen.
                U.S. citizens in Yemen should consider departing. This Travel
                Warning supersedes that issued on November 30, 2002. On March 28, 2003, the
                Department of State authorized the voluntary departure of adult
                family members and non-emergency personnel at the U.S. Embassy
                in Sanaa. U.S. Embassy employees have not been allowed to bring
                their children to Yemen since March 18, 2002. The Department of
                State reaffirms its warning to United States citizens to defer
                travel to Yemen. The Department has received credible reports
                that terrorists have planned attacks against U.S. interests in
                Yemen. The Department anticipates that threats against Americans
                in Yemen will continue given the increased tensions and security
                concerns resulting from the current situation in the region. The
                U.S. Embassy in Sanaa will continue to provide consular services
                to American citizens. However, from time to time, the Embassy
                may temporarily close or suspend public services as necessary
                for security reasons. Emergency assistance to American citizens
                during non-business hours (or when public access is restricted)
                is available through Embassy duty personnel, who can be
                contacted by telephone at 967-1-303-155.
 U.S. citizens who remain in or travel to Yemen despite this
                warning should register at the Consular Section of the U.S.
                Embassy in Sanaa and enroll in the warden system (emergency
                alert network) in order to obtain updated information on travel
                and security in Yemen. Americans in Yemen should exercise
                caution and take prudent measures to maintain their security.
                Americans should maintain a high level of vigilance, avoid
                crowds and demonstrations, keep a low profile, vary times and
                routes for all travel, and ensure travel documents are current.
 The Embassy in Sanaa advises
                American citizens in Yemen to exercise particular caution at
                locations frequented by foreigners, such as the Sanaa Trade
                Center, American-affiliated franchises, restaurants and shops in
                the Haddah area in Sanaa and in Aden and elsewhere, and at
                restaurants and hotels frequented by expatriates. Americans who
                believe they are being followed or threatened while driving in
                urban centers should proceed as quickly as possible to the
                nearest police station or major intersection and request
                assistance from the officers in the blue-and-white police cars
                stationed there. The U.S. Embassy is located at
                Dhahr Himyar Zone, Sheraton Hotel District, P.O. Box 22347. The
                telephone number of the Consular Section is (967)(1) 303-155,
                extension 118, 265, or 266. The fax number is (967)(1) 303-175.
                The after hours emergency number is (967)(1) 303-155. |
