Emergency Message for U.S. Citizens: Brazzaville (Republic of the Congo)
Cautions Against Use of Port
Transportation Security
Africa > Congo, Republic of the > Brazzaville
5/8/2014
The Republic of the Congo is currently processing thousands of people
through the Congo River port in Brazzaville. The port in Brazzaville
has been the site of temporary holding camps for travelers crossing
into Kinshasa for the past few weeks, and will possibly continue to do
so for several more weeks. Ferries are routinely full, requiring
travelers to spend multiple days and nights waiting at the port.
There have been no reported instances of unrest, although conditions
at the port remain tenuous.
The U.S. Embassy urges all U.S. Citizens to refrain from going to the
Brazzaville port and to find alternative means of travel or to
postpone discretionary travel via the Brazzaville/Kinshasa river
crossing if possible. We will continue to update you as the situation
evolves.
We strongly recommend that U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in
Congo enroll in the Department of State's Smart Traveler Enrollment
Program (STEP) at travel.state.gov. STEP enrollment gives you the
latest security updates, and makes it easier for the U.S. embassy or
nearest U.S. consulate to contact you in an emergency. If you don't
have Internet access, enroll directly with the nearest U.S. embassy or
consulate.
Regularly monitor the State Department's website, where you can find
current Travel Warnings, Travel Alerts, and the Worldwide Caution.
Read the Country Specific Information for the Republic of the Congo.
For additional information, refer to the "Traveler's Checklist" on the
State Department's website.
Contact the U.S. embassy or consulate for up-to-date information on
travel restrictions. You can also call 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in
the United States and Canada or 1-202-501-4444 from other countries.
These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time,
Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays). Follow us on
Twitter and Facebook to have travel information at your fingertips.
The U.S. Embassy in Brazzaville is located at Blvd Denis Sassou
Nguesso, and is open Monday-Thursday 7:30-5:00 and Fridays 7:30-12:30
(Telephone 06-612-2000). If you are a U.S. citizen in need of urgent
