The Canadian government has urged its citizens not to travel to Afghanistan due to certain security concerns.
“Avoid all travel to Afghanistan due to the volatile security situation, terrorist attacks, ongoing armed conflict, the risk of kidnapping, arbitrary arrest and detention, the high crime rate, and widespread violations of human rights by the de facto authorities,” a statement issued by the Canadian government said.
The statement added “If you are in Afghanistan, you should shelter in a safe place and exercise caution if you need to move to a more secure location. Keep in mind that you are responsible for your own safety and that of your family.”
Earlier, Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, and some other countries had also urged their citizens to avoid travelling to Afghanistan.
