Bahamas warns citizen travelling to the US to be extremely cautious

The Bahamas issued a travel advisory on Friday, July 8, warning its citizens planning to go to the United States to use “extreme caution” around police after recent shootings in Louisiana, Minnesota and Texas.

“At the commencement of the Independence holiday weekend, many Bahamians will no doubt use the opportunity to travel, in particular to destinations in the United States,” the nation’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration wrote, referencing the country's national holiday on July 10. 

The statement continues:

“We wish to advise all Bahamians traveling to the US but especially to the affected cities to exercise appropriate caution generally. In particular young males are asked to exercise extreme caution in affected cities in their interactions with the police. Do not be confrontational and cooperate.” (According to the CIA’s World Factbook, more than 90 percent of Bahamian residents are black.)
