Travel Warning For Tunisia Extended

The U.S. Department of State alerts U.S. citizens to the potential for ongoing political and social unrest in Tunisia. Unrest has diminished and public order has returned in many areas, including the developed tourist zones; however, spontaneous and unpredictable events, such as work stoppages and demonstrations, have recently occurred. Although the Tunisian government has lifted the curfew, the state of emergency is in force and curfews can be re-established with short notice. The U.S. Department of State continues to advise U.S. citizens currently in Tunisia to defer non-essential travel to the central and western regions of Tunisia. This Travel Alert supersedes the Travel Alert for Tunisia dated March 10, 2011, and expires on July 9, 2011.
