Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–February 26, 2015. The Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the risks of travel to Chad and recommends citizens avoid travel to all border regions, particularly those areas adjacent to Chad’s eastern border and the Lake Chad region. The entire Lake Chad region, not only along Chad’s border with Nigeria, is especially vulnerable because of rising activities by the extremist terrorist group Boko Haram. Chad’s historically volatile security environment can deteriorate unexpectedly, especially along the border areas. This Travel Warning replaces the Travel Warning for Chad, dated January 6, 2015, to update U.S. citizens on the current security situation in Chad.
