AUSTRALIA(PERTH) - Officials ordered the temporary evacuation of all staff members and passengers from the international terminal (T1) of Perth Airport, Australia, early on 13 October. Local media report that the directive was issued after an emergency services alarm was activated. Unconfirmed reports indicate that a burst water main may have triggered the warning signal; emergency personnel are currently responding to the incident. It is not yet clear when the terminal will reopen; however, resultant flight delays should be anticipated once services resume at T1. Clients scheduled to transit through Perth Airport are advised to contact their travel provider or airline directly to confirm the status of their flight(s).

CHINA - (Update) According to reports, China Southern Airlines has extended the suspension of its flights between Guangzhou and Kathmandu, Nepal, from 10 to 25 October. In addition, China Eastern Airlines has reportedly announced the suspension of flights between Kunming and Kathmandu from 15 to 26 October. The announcements follow a notice by Nepalese authorities on 29 September that fuel will not be available to international flights due to a shortage. The airlines have stated that they would not be able to fly to Nepal without refuelling at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport. The flight suspensions are related to an ongoing fuel shortage in Nepal. While some authorities in Nepal have stated that the shortages are due to India enforcing a moratorium on supply trucks entering Nepal from India, the Indian government has stated that truck drivers have been unwilling to enter Nepal due to concerns over their own safety. These disruptions are related to anti-constitution protests that have impacted on Nepal's southern Terai region since early August. Protests against the promulgation of the new constitution remain ongoing in Nepal's Terai region, albeit at a reduced frequency and intensity than in previous weeks. Such protests are likely to continue over the near-term. It should be noted that the risk of other airlines suspending flights to Nepal in light of the ongoing fuel shortage is credible. Persons intending to travel to Nepal with the aforementioned airlines are advised to contact their travel provider or airline for further updates on the status of their flight(s). In addition, clients are advised against all non-essential travel to the Nepal due to several security concerns. Clients, particularly those in the Terai region, are advised to monitor local developments closely. All demonstrations and concentrations of security forces should be avoided as a standard precaution.

Our records indicate your company does not have any travelers scheduled to fly China Southern Airlines or China Eastern Airlines during the suspension dates who were ticketed through ATG.

TUNISIA - Tunisia's Civil Aviation and Airports Authority (OACA) has announced that Tunis-Carthage Airport, in Tunis, is set to close from 17:00 local time on 14 October to 22:00 on 16 October. Tunisia's national airline, Tunisair, has indicated that all Tunisair flights scheduled to arrive or depart in that period will arrive and depart from Monastir Airport, located approximately 150km south east of Tunis in Monastir. OACA is set to conduct routine maintenance on the intersection of the airport's two runways. Although OACA has repeatedly stated that maintenance will be completed by the stated deadline, construction delays and subsequent flight disruptions remain possible. Persons intending to make use of Tunis-Carthage Airport in the near-term are advised to contact the airport, their airline or travel provider for updates on the status of the airport and all flights scheduled to arrive at and depart the airport. Clients should monitor local media for updates regarding the airport closure.

Our records indicate your company does not have any travelers scheduled to fly through Tunis-Carthage Airport on 14 October who were ticketed through ATG.

SOUTH AFRICA(CAPE TOWN) - Passenger rail services at the Cape Town railway station is likely to be disrupted on 13 October following an earlier shooting at the facility. Details pertaining to the motivation for the shooting remain unclear at this stage; however, it is believed that it may have been an act of suicide. Investigations are currently ongoing. Clients planning to transit Cape Town railway station on 13 October should ensure that itineraries remain flexible to accommodate for transport disruptions. Alternative forms of transportation should be sought at this time.

ISRAEL(JERUSALEM) - (Update) Unconfirmed reports indicate that multiple roads leading to Jerusalem, including the Jerusalem to Tel Aviv route, have been closed and that parts of East Jerusalem, where the majority of Jerusalem's Palestinian residents reside, has been placed on lockdown. The closures follow a number of low-level knife and vehicular attacks in Jerusalem (Malchei Israel Street and Armon Hanatziv) and the Tel Aviv area (Raanana and Holon areas) earlier on 13 October. A number of the incidents targeted persons on busses and near bus stations. Restrictions on travel in Israel, following security incidents, are common. The restrictions on 13 October to road travel are likely to be temporary but may be extended should the violence persist. Clients in Israel are advised to exercise vigilance and a heightened level of personal security awareness while travelling. Travellers should consider minimising time spent on busses and near bus stations and concentrations of security force personnel. Itineraries should remain flexible, particularly in recent violence-affected areas and East Jerusalem.

ISRAEL(TEL AVIV & JERUSALEM) - (Update) A number of low-level and apparently politically motivated attacks have been reported in Israel on 13 October. In Raanana, located north of Tel Aviv, an assailant stabbed and wounded a civilian at a bus station along Ahuza Street. The assailant was assaulted by persons at the scene and later arrested. A second assailant has reportedly fled the scene and remains at large. In southern Tel Aviv's Holon area, an assailant stabbed and wounded a person before fleeing. Media are reporting this incident as criminally motivated. The police are searching for the suspects in both areas. In Jerusalem, an assailant stabbed and wounded a person on the number 78 bus as it travelled through the Talpiot area. A subsequent shooting on the same bus left a number of people wounded. Another incident was reported in the Rehov Malchei Israel area of Jerusalem. An assailant reportedly drove his vehicle into a crowd of people, wounding some. The incidents are the latest to impact on Israel and are thought to be connected to ongoing anti-Israel agitation and related disruptive and violent civil unrest across the West Bank and East Jerusalem in recent days. The attacks have been perpetrated largely by Palestinians and targeted Israeli security force personnel or civilians. Many of the attacks on civilians have occurred on busses or near bus stations. The perpetrators have typically been assaulted or shot and killed or wounded after perpetrating the attacks. Police operations following the incidents have resulted in localised road and public transport disruptions. Further incidents are anticipated, particularly in Jerusalem and in the Tel Aviv area and its immediate surrounds. Clients in Israel are advised to exercise vigilance and a heightened level of personal security awareness while travelling. Travellers should consider minimising time spent on busses and near bus stations and concentrations of security force personnel. Itineraries should remain flexible, particularly in recent violence-affected areas.

TANZANIA - (Update) An ongoing cholera outbreak has infected 3,559 people, including 54 deaths, since the presence of the disease was detected in the commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, in August 2015. In addition to Dar es Salaam, cholera infections and deaths have also been reported in Iringa, Morogoro, Pwani and Zanzibar. Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal intestinal infection caused by the ingestion of food or water contaminated with the Vibrio cholerae bacterium. Symptoms of the disease include watery diarrhoea and vomiting, which occur from six hours to five days after exposure to the bacterium. Although the disease can effectively be treated, practising good hygiene and consuming only properly purified water will significantly mitigate the chances of contracting it. Persons currently in or intending to travel to Tanzania should take precautions against contracting cholera, including using only bottled water and avoiding food and beverages sold by street vendors. In addition, clients are advised to monitor local developments and follow the directives of the authorities regarding public health advice and precautions. Clients are reminded that heightened caution is advised in areas bordering Burundi, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo due to the risk of banditry.

KENYA(DADAAB) - A local employed by the UK-based Windle Trust non-government organisation (NGO) was kidnapped in Kenya's north eastern town of Dadaab on 12 October. The victim was seized after a group of suspected militants of the al-Shabaab Islamist extremist group ambushed the vehicle in which she was travelling near the Hagadera refugee camp. The whereabouts of the victim, in addition to her local driver, remain unknown at this time. The incident underscores the ongoing high threat of kidnapping which exists in north eastern Kenya, particularly in areas near the porous and insecure Somali border. Although infrequent, the kidnapping of both locals and foreign nationals have occurred in the region, with a number of incidents occurring in and around refugee camps. An increase in security in the region has not mitigated the threat. Clients are currently advised against all travel to within 50km of the shared border between Kenya and Somalia due to the elevated threats of kidnapping and conflict in the area, which largely emanate from Somalia-based militants. Persons currently based in or intending to travel to this area despite this advisory should coordinate all movements in the presence of a trained security escort, limit travel to major towns and cities, and ensure that accommodation is restricted to secure compounds.

LIBYA(SABRATHA) - A large number of Tunisian nationals have reportedly been detained by gunmen in Sabratha, north west Libya. The detention was announced on 13 October and was in response to the arrest of two Libyan nationals in Tunisia on 10 October. The gunmen are demanding the release of the two Libyans in return for the Tunisian detainees. Extrajudicial detentions are common in Libya. Armed groups/persons acting independently and linked to the state have conducted such detentions in the past, typically to press foreign governments for concessions. Given the weakness of the state, particularly the security services, further such incidents are likely. Clients are advised against all travel to Libya. Persons operating in the country should update and review their crisis management plans regularly. Clients should travel with a close protection officer and reside in secure compounds or hotels.

LEBANON - The Lebanese military has reportedly been placed on alert along its shared border with Syria and inside Lebanon, according to reports on 13 October. The increased alert status is in response to increased Russian and Hezbollah involvement in the Syrian conflict and concerns that militants would conduct retaliatory attacks in Lebanon. Hezbollah has also 'consolidated' its security forces in its Lebanese strongholds, including in southern Beirut. The Lebanese security forces have been on a heightened level of awareness and response since the start of the Syrian civil war and following a string of bombings in 2014. The number of noteworthy attacks has decreased in recent months; however, an escalation of hostilities in Syria could lead militants to conduct further retaliatory attacks in Lebanon, specifically against Hezbollah, which supports the Syrian regime. Hezbollah strongholds are located across the Bekaa Valley, in southern Beirut and in southern Lebanon, generally. Islamist extremists may also seek to target other foreign interests, including those of Russia and the West, and Shiite (and Alawite) Muslim communities. Conventional and suicide bombings, shootings and kidnappings are likely modus operandi. Clients are advised against all travel to within 15km of the shared border with Syria in the Bekaa and North governorates, Palestinian refugee camps, Tripoli and areas south of the Litani River in the Ej Jnoub and Nabatieh governorates and against all non-essential travel to the rest of the country. Clients in higher-risk areas should consider travel with a security escort and should reside in secure hotels or compounds. Crisis management plans should be regularly reviewed and updated in conjunction with a security provider.

AFGHANISTAN(GHANZI) - According to recent reports, security forces repelled a large-scale Taleban-initiated assault on the city of Ghazni, the capital of the eponymous province, in Afghanistan, on 12 October. The city, located some 130km south west of Kabul, was attacked by an estimated 2,000 insurgents from multiple sides. The attackers managed to get within 5km of the city before being pushed by Afghan National Army (ANA) troops. Fighting around the city continues on 13 October. The offensive came after several days of sporadic clashes around the city. Casualties associated with these incidents and the assault on the city are unconfirmed at present. Elsewhere, sporadic violence continues in Kunduz, the capital of the eponymous province, after Taleban insurgents briefly seized control of the city between 28 September and 1 October. Although the ANA, backed by NATO troops, has largely regained control of the city, clashes are still occurring in residential areas, where a door-to-door clearing operation continues. Road access to Kunduz remains limited, with the Taleban remaining in control of key roads and districts around the city. Elsewhere, conflict has continued, with insurgents seizing and holding several districts across the provinces of Farah, Faryab, Badakhshan, Takhar and Baghlan. More generally, these incidents underscore the ongoing deterioration of the security dynamic, as well as the inability of the ANA to exert its writ over large parts of the country. Moreover, the Taleban has escalated operations considerably, moving from rural areas to launch large-scale frontal assaults on major urban centres during 2015. Given this dynamic, further conflict, including attacks on major urban centres such as provincial capitals, should be expected in the short- to medium-term. Due to a number of security concerns, all travel to Afghanistan is advised against. Maximum travel, personal and residential security protocols should be implemented at all times. All movement should be conducted during daylight hours only and in the presence of a security escort. Crisis management plans (evacuation and contingency) should be updated with a security provider, from whom regular updates should also be requested.

MALDIVES(MALE) - A heightened security force presence is currently in place in the Maldives' capital, Male, on 13 October. Soldiers have been stationed at several key locations on the capital island and patrols have been increased. These measures are set to remain in place until 15 October, at least. Although ostensibly a training exercise, the troop deployment is likely related to escalated tensions in the country stemming from an unsuccessful assassination attempt on the life of incumbent president Abdulla Yameen on 28 September; an improvised explosive device (IED) was detonated on the boat on which Yameen and his wife were travelling at the main jetty in Male. Yameen was unharmed, although his wife sustained injuries. There have been no claims of responsibility for the attack; however, popular opposition figure and former president, Mohamed Nasheed, remains in prison on terrorism offences, which are widely believed to be politically motivated and an attempt to keep him from participating in the political sphere. Underscoring the political tensions, Nasheed's supporters from the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) scheduled a protest in Male on 9 October to demand his release; the protest passed without major incident. Nonetheless, these recent incidents highlight the persistent tensions in the country, which remain unresolved at present. Clients currently in or planning to be in the Maldives are advised to exercise heightened situational awareness when in Male and should avoid all protest action and concentrations of security forces.

AFRICA/ASIA - (Update) Muharram, the first month on the Islamic calendar, starts during the evening of 13 or 14 October (depending on location). The month is one of the holiest on the Islamic calendar. The tenth day of Muharram (23 or 24 October) is known as Ashura. This period is symbolic for Shiite Muslims as it marks the day that they believe Imam Husayn, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, was killed during the Battle of Karbala (680 AD). Connected to Ashura is Arbaeen, which is commemorated 40 days after Ashura (on 2 or 3 December). An increase in Shiite religious events is typical during these periods. In some areas, associated security risks increase as Sunni militants seek to target Shiite events or Shiite events display anti-government sentiment. The increased terrorism risk is most pronounced in states where Sunni militants are active and have regularly targeted Shiite Muslim religious events, processions, communities or sites in the past. These include Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria (specifically the city of Zaria). The general risk extends to Lebanon, Kuwait, eastern Saudi Arabia, Iran and Bahrain. In addition, agitation by Shiite communities may increase during Muharram and Arbaeen, particularly in eastern Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, where Shiite-dominated anti-government political agitation is elevated. Note that in areas where Shiite events occur, increased security measures are typically enforced. This could include restrictions on travel (curfews), additional checkpoints (and resultant delays) as well as police patrols. Clients travelling or operating during Muharram, including Ashura and Arbaeen, should contact their security provider for area-specific risk assessments. During this period, Shiite religious events and gatherings should be avoided.

ISRAEL - (Update) The Joint List, a coalition of mostly Arab political parties in Israel, and the Arab Higher Monitoring Committee have called for a general strike in Arab Palestinian communities in Israel on 13 October in response to the recent civil unrest that has affected the country. A related protest will be held in the town of Sakhnin in Israel's North District. The agitation follows ongoing anti-Israeli civil unrest across the West Bank and East Jerusalem since early October. The unrest has coincided with a spike in politically motivated attacks. These have taken the form of knife attacks. At least four stabbing incidents were reported in Jerusalem on 12 October. Incidents on 12 October occurred under the Chords Bridge, at the Lions' Gate in the Old City, on a bus in Pisgat Zeev and near the Ammunition Hill light rail stop. A number of the Palestinian assailants were shot and killed during the commission of the attacks. Israel and the Palestinian territories (West Bank and Gaza Strip) have experienced a spike in anti-Israel civil unrest in recent days that has left hundreds of people wounded and a number of people dead. The violence has largely occurred in the West Bank and East Jerusalem with a number of border clashes reported along the Israel-Gaza Strip border. The civil unrest and associated violence is likely to persist. The general strike call will likely disrupt business activity in Arab Palestinian areas on 13 October. The risk of violence at the related protest is elevated. Clients are advised against all travel to the Gaza Strip and to within 2km of the shared Israel Gaza Strip border in Israel. Clients are further advised against all non-essential travel to within 45km of the shared border in Israel and all of the West Bank. Persons in Israel or the Palestinian territories are advised to avoid all street protests and concentrations of security force personnel.

TURKEY(ANKARA) - The reaction to the 10 October bombings at the Labor, Peace and Democracy Rally in Turkey's capital, Ankara, continues across the country with various general strikes and street marches reported on 12 October and further agitation anticipated on 13 October. The Confederation of Public Sector Trades' Unions (KESK), the Confederation of Progressive Trade Unions of Turkey (DİSK), the Turkish Medical Association (TTB) and the Union of Chambers of Turkish Engineers and Architects (TMMOB) initiated a two-day countrywide strike on 12 October. Related protests were reported in Istanbul (Maltepe Square, Fatih district and Kagithane district), Adana (downtown area and Ugur Mumcu Square) and Ankara (Ankara central rail station) on the day. The bombing at the rally site in Ankara, which killed over 100 people and left dozens more wounded, is one of the most severe acts of terrorism in Turkey in modern times. There have been no claims of responsibility for the attack, which included two suicide bombers at a rally being led by trade unions, leftists and Kurdish groups. In reaction to the bombing the government has escalated air strikes against the Kurdistan Workers Party (and ignored the group's initiation of a unilateral ceasefire on 10 October) and blamed the Islamic State (IS) for the attack. Opposition parties have denounced the government and the Ankara security authorities for their inability to prevent the attack. The recent bombing will likely prompt further protests in reaction in cities and towns across the country. Major public squares and government buildings are likely gathering points. These may be organised to denounce the attack, the government or suspected groups, including Kurdish groups. This will further exacerbate already elevated political tensions ahead of a 1 November election. The government is also expected to continue to harass Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) rebels in the south east and in northern Iraq over the near-term. The PKK, which has already escalated attacks in the country since a 20 July suspected IS attack in Suruc, which targeted pro-Kurdish activists, is also expected to continue to conduct attacks against state interests in the south and south east, despite its initiation of a unilateral ceasefire. Clients are advised against all travel to within 10km of the shared border with Syria in the Turkish provinces of Hatay, Kilis, Gaziantep, Sanliurfa, Mardin and Sirnak and heightened caution elsewhere in these provinces (except Sirnak, see below). Clients are further advised against all non-essential travel to the provinces of Diyarbakir, Van, Sirnak and Hakkari and to exercise heightened caution in other eastern and south eastern provinces of Turkey, particularly in rural areas, due to the risks of terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, crime, and Kurd rebel-related conflict. These provinces include Ardahan, Agri, Kars, Igdir, Siirt, Batman, Bitlis, Mus, Bingol, Elazig, Erzincan, Tunceli and Erzurum. Clients in Turkey should avoid all large public gatherings, street protests, travel at night or travel near political party offices and security force concentrations.

KOSOVO(PRISTINA) - The US Embassy in Pristina has stated that a student-led demonstration will be held in the city from 11:00 local time on 13 October. The gathering will take place near the University of Pristina in the downtown area. The students are protesting against changes in university policy. There is a risk of confrontations at all protests in Kosovo. In addition, associated road travel disruptions should be anticipated in the affected area through the course of 13 October. Clients should exercise caution in the affected area and avoid all street protests as a standard precaution.

ARGENTINA(BUENOS AIRES) - A number of unions involved in Argentina's agricultural sector are scheduled to hold a protest rally in the capital, Buenos Aires, on 14 October. Activists are anticipated to gather at the Plaza de la Republica public square between 07:00 and 10:00 local time. The demonstration has been organised in protest against alleged maladministration within Argentina's agriculture sector and to press the government into implementing various reforms. Although expected to conclude peacefully, the gathering is expected to be well attended and carries the potential to be disruptive. Clients planning to transit the Plaza de la Republica and its immediate surrounds on 14 October should avoid the demonstration as a precaution and ensure itineraries are kept flexible to accommodate for any disruptions.

IRAQ(SULAYMANIYAH & HALABJA GOVERNORATES) - Update) Unconfirmed reports indicate that striking and protesting state workers are continuing their protests in the cities of Sulaymaniyah and Halabja on 13 October. The exact locations of the protests are unclear. No violence has been reported. Further politically motivated protest action related to demands that Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) President Massoud Barzani resign have not been reported on 13 October. The KRG's Sulaymaniyah and Halabja governorates experienced violent and disruptive civil unrest between 8 and 11 October, leaving at least four people dead and a number of others wounded. During the civil unrest, which coincided with the state workers' strike and protest, multiple offices of the ruling Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) were attacked. Protesters were calling on Barzani to resign; his mandate expired in August. The KDP has since blamed the opposition party, Gorran, for the unrest and barred its senior members from entering the KRG capital, Arbil. The development has been labelled a 'coup' by opposition parties and has increased political tensions considerably. While there has been a relative lull in Barzani-related protests since 12 October, the issue remains unresolved and further violent or disruptive protests are likely. These could coincide with state workers' agitation or occur independently. The Sulaymaniyah and Halabja governorates remain the most likely focal point of any further unrest. The KDP has its primary support in the Arbil and Dahuk governorates; its influence over the security forces is extensive and its ability to identify and prevent demonstrations is effective in these areas. Clients are advised against all non-essential travel to the KRG-controlled regions of Dahuk, Arbil and Sulaymaniyah, including Halabja, due to ongoing conflict in the region and the threat of terrorism. Persons operating in the KRG, particularly in the Sulaymaniyah and Halabja governorates, should review all crisis management plans with their security provider, limit travel in public and near political party offices, avoid all street protests and monitor local political and security conditions closely. Persons in the KRG are further advised to reside in secure compounds or hotels and travel with a security escort or trained security driver. Travel at night should be avoided.

CHILE(SANTIAGO) - The Confederation of Chilean Students (CONFECH) has called for a protest march in Chile's capital, Santiago, on 15 October in response to government's tertiary education policy. The march will start at 11:00 local time in the Plaza Italia area. Participants will then march to Echaurren Street, along Avenida Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins (known locally as La Alameda). Travellers in Santiago should anticipate road travel disruptions along and in the vicinity of the protest area on 15 October. The threat of violence is considered low; however, minor confrontations are possible. Clients in the city should avoid all street protests and exercise caution in the likely protest area on 15 October.

INDIA(MANIPUR) - The Coordination Committee (CorCom) has called for an 18-hour general strike in India's north eastern state of Manipur on 15 October to mark the anniversary of the 1949 merger of the state with India. The strike is expected to begin at 00:01 until 18:00 local time on 15 October. CorCom is a group of seven rebel groups which is battling the Indian government for a separate Manipur homeland in north east India, and the 15 October anniversary is known by secessionists as National Black Day. The strike call is expected to be widely observed in Manipur state and disruptions to commercial activity, state operations and public transport should be anticipated. There is also a possibility that secessionist militants may escalate attacks against Indian state targets on the day. In addition, the possibility of solidarity protest and strike action occurring on 15 October in neighbouring states, including, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura cannot be discounted. Due to the ongoing threats posed by conflict and terrorism, clients are advised against all non-essential travel to Manipur. Persons in or planning to travel to the state in the coming days are advised to exercise heightened security awareness and should avoid unnecessary travel during the general strike period. In addition, travel near security force facilities and government buildings should be conducted with increased vigilance and caution.
