The U.S. State Department issued a warning advising against all travel to Yemen because of high terrorist threat levels and civil unrest. Some non-emergency government employees as well as all eligible family members of U.S. government employees have been ordered to leave. Citizens in the country are urged to avoid all protests, even if they are intended to be peaceful, as the threat of violence is extremely high. The U.S. government is concerned about possible acts of violence against U.S. citizens in Yemen due to the presence of terrorist networks, such as Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
