Trouble spots: Advice from our source in the Foreign Office

El Salvador: There is significant lawlessness throughout the country. Victims of robberies are likely to be murdered even if they do not resist their attackers. Robberies occur on private and public transport, on main roads or in towns. Avoid travelling outside the capital after dark.

Indonesia: Avoid the following areas - the island of Krakatau, Mount Merapi and surrounding area in central Java, and Mount Marapi and its surrounding area in Sumatra.

Central African Republic: We advise against travel to the CAR until the situation improves. The recent army mutiny has made the security situation in Bangui very unsafe.
