Travelers should avoid demonstrations, protests, political rallies, and large crowds, as they can escalate into violence. Clashes among demonstrators or between protestors and security forces may occur with or without warning. Police and security forces may disperse crowds using tear gas or other coercive measures, including force.
Piracy, armed robbery, and kidnapping for ransom pose significant threats to U.S. flagged vessels transiting or operating off the coast of Côte d’Ivoire.
Health care in rural areas is below U.S. standards and there are often shortages of medicine and medical supplies in public health facilities and in many medical facilities.
The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens outside of Abidjan. Embassy personnel are prohibited from driving outside the cities after dark, including between Abidjan, Grand Bassam, and Assinie.
