Burkina Faso: Curfew Imposed in Sourou and Kossi Provinces

Due to a decrease in security, the authorities have imposed a curfew in the Kossi and Sourou provinces of Burkina Faso from 19:00 to 06:00 starting from 15 November until further notice. Circulation of any persons or vehicles, except for ambulances, will be restricted during the curfew period.

Advice

Travellers are advised to observe curfew hours and follow the instructions issued by the local authorities. Many countries advise citizens to avoid any travel to Burkina Faso due to a lack of personal safety and security, high crime, risk of terrorist attack, and risk of kidnapping.
