The US Embassy has decided to continue the current travel restrictions for official personnel both inside and outside of Sanaa for the near future. Official travel outside Sanaa will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Embassy employees (and family members) have been instructed to avoid shopping areas, restaurants and stores where Westerners gather that do not employ an active vehicle inspection program. The Embassy will continue to monitor the security situation in Yemen actively and will ensure American citizens are informed of any changes or developments.
