In Cuba, the FCDO published a full review of its advice on Friday. It still advises against all but essential travel to the country. It reports that Cuba's international airports are without aviation fuel, that only Terminal 3 at Havana's José Martí airport is operating, and that several airlines have suspended flights. International cards such as Visa and Mastercard no longer work, so visitors need cash for the whole stay. Our lead has the detail.
In Algeria, the FCDO revised its terrorism, political situation, customs and ID guidance on Friday. It advises against all travel within 30km of the borders with Libya, Mauritania, Mali and Niger and parts of the Tunisian border, and says the kidnap risk is concentrated on the southern border. Bringing drones or binoculars into the country without authorisation is illegal. Our second piece sets out the current advice.
In Belgium, the FCDO says a public sector strike is planned for Monday 12 October, which may affect public transport and other services. It notes that strike action "may be announced at short notice."
In Bolivia, the FCDO updated its advice on the State of Emergency on Tuesday 22 September. It says the emergency gives police and armed forces powers to remove roadblocks, disrupt protests and detain people who do not comply for up to 8 hours without charge. Its advice is not to try to cross roadblocks.
Both main pieces are in full on the site today.
