Burkina Faso travel advice: FCDO advises against all travel

The UK FCDO advises against all travel to Burkina Faso due to the threat of terrorist attacks and kidnap, and the unstable political situation. There is no British Embassy in Burkina Faso; consular support is provided from the British Embassy in Accra, Ghana, but they cannot provide in-person assistance. If serious violence or security deterioration occurs, it may be difficult to leave safely, and travelers should not rely on the British government for evacuation.
