The Bahamian Government has issued a travel advisory for its citizens travelling to the United States, in the wake of recent extrajudicial killings of Black men which have spurred increased unrest across America. The advisory particularly warned young Bahamian males to exercise “extreme caution” in their interactions with American law enforcement officials, and to be non-confrontational in any such encounters.

Here is the statement: “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration has taken a note of the recent tensions in some American cities over shootings of young black males by police officers.

At the commencement of the Independence holiday weekend, many Bahamians will no doubt use the opportunity to travel, in particular to destinations in the United States.

We wish to advise all Bahamians traveling to the US but especially to the affected cities to exercise appropriate caution generally. In particular young males are asked to exercise extreme caution in affected cities in their interactions with the police. Do not be confrontational and cooperate.

If there is any issue please allow consular offices for The Bahamas to deal with the issues. Do not get involved in political or other demonstrations under any circumstances and avoid crowds.
