U.S. State Department issues multiple warnings for travel in the Middle East and Northern Africa
Skift Take
Travelers should take notice: Mob violence, unlike the slightly more manageable political unrest, is impossible to navigate.
Following the violence in Libya and Egypt yesterday, the U.S. State Department's Twitter feed is an actively tweeting travel warnings:
