The United States (US) Embassy in Namibia has advised its citizens in the country to avoid large crowds, as demonstrations may occur.
This notice was issued on the embassy’s social media accounts ahead of Namibia’s presidential and National Assembly elections on Wednesday.
“Throughout this period, as well as over the days following the elections, rallies and demonstrations may occur,” the statement notes.
Embassy officials further advised US citizens to maintain a low profile, carry proper identification and to review their personal security plans.
“Keep your cell phone charged in case of an emergency. Monitor local media for updates, and factor updated information into your travel plans and activities,” the notice states.
