A press statement released on Friday that U.S State Department said that There is at this time no U.S. Embassy or other formal U.S. diplomatic presence in Somalia.

In light of this and continuous security threats, the U.S. government recommends that U.S. citizens avoid all travel to Somalia.
" Kidnapping, bombings, murder, illegal roadblocks, banditry, and other violent incidents and threats to U.S. citizens and other foreign nationals can occur in any region of Somalia." the Statement said adding that there is a particular threat to foreigners in places where large crowds gather and westerners frequent.
