TRAVEL ADVISORY - CIVIL UNREST

ZIMBABWE - SECURITY


The ongoing political crisis in Zimbabwe is the cause of recent civil and social unrest. Violent clashes between protestors and security forces took place in the capital of Harare and other cities across the country, resulting in injuries. The situation remains unpredictable and could deteriorate without warning.

Canadians in Zimbabwe should avoid large crowds and public areas where violence could take place, monitor news reports and follow the advice of local authorities. Canadians should maintain a high level of personal security awareness at all times, and contact the Embassy of Canada in Harare should they require assistance.
