Entry and exit points at borders can be opened and closed without warning.
Crime is common in some areas of Lomé. Car-jackings have also been reported.
There was severe flooding in the north eastern region of Savanes in July and September 2007. The flooding affected local road conditions and increased the threat of waterborne diseases. Anyone intending to travel to the affected area should seek and follow advice from the local authorities.
The threat from terrorism is low, but you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
