Nicaragua
Travel Warning
The Bureau of
Consular Affairs issued the following Public Announcement on October 24,
2006:
This Public Announcement is being issued to alert U.S. citizens traveling to
and residing in Nicaragua to the potential for violent demonstrations
leading up to the national election in Nicaragua on November 5, 2006. This
Public Announcement expires on April 18, 2007.
U.S. citizens are advised that in the run-up to Nicaragua's national
elections on November 5, demonstrations and sporadic acts of violence are
possible in major cities throughout the country. Protests and demonstrations
can be unpredictable in time, place, and intensity. In Managua, clashes most
frequently occur between the Nicaraguan National Police and university
students. They can involve firing tear gas, rubber bullets and homemade
explosive devices, throwing rocks, burning tires and vehicles, and blocking
roads. In the past, bystanders have been injured. The potential for
demonstrations and sporadic acts of violence also exists during the
elections and in the immediate aftermath.

American residents and visitors in Nicaragua are urged to remain vigilant
with regard to their personal security and avoid crowds and demonstrations.
Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and
escalate into violence. Since the timing and routes of marches and
demonstrations are always subject to change, U.S. citizens should monitor
local media sources for new developments, and exercise discretion in moving
about.
