"Travellers should reconsider their need to visit the Comoros, due to the current political crisis. There is a possibility of violence and unrest, particularly on the island of Anjouan, where the military have moved in to quell rebels."

It's so fucking on.

"Terrorists may target individual American citizen residents, visitors, students, or tourists, and tactics could include but are not limited to kidnapping, shooting, or poisoning....travel to the provinces of Papua, Central Sulawesi, and Maluku requires the concurrence of the Embassy’s Regional Security Officer."
