“Dangerous. Do Not Go.” Why Washington Moved Kenya’s Neighbour to Its Highest Warning Level


The United States has told its citizens not to travel to Uganda for any reason. The State Department raised the country to Level 4, its highest travel advisory, in June 2026, putting it in the same category as conflict zones and states where Washington says it can do little to help its own citizens.


The advisory cites the Ebola outbreak, along with violent crime, including armed robbery, home invasion and sexual assault, as well as terrorism and civil unrest. “These places are dangerous. Do not go for ANY reason,” the advisory states. Level 4 is the top tier of a four-level system, reserved for places where local conditions or the department’s limited ability to assist Americans justify the strongest possible warning.


Uganda is one of 22 countries on the list. The African countries named alongside it are Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Libya, Mali, Niger, Somalia and South Sudan. The DRC is also flagged for Ebola. The World Health Organisation declared a public health emergency of international concern over the outbreak there in May 2026.


An advisory has no legal force, but it does have consequences. Insurance coverage is typically affected, and the US government’s ability to evacuate or assist its citizens in these countries is severely restricted. The State Department recommends that travellers check current advisories and enrol in its Smart Traveller Enrolment Program (STEP) for real-time safety updates.


The report does not say how Uganda’s government has responded, whether other countries have issued similar warnings, or what effect the listing has had on tourism and trade. It also gives no Ebola case figures for Uganda.

Miguna Miguna's Latest Reports: The NIS and KK paid bloggers, including those pretending to be protesters, are desperately trying to cause divisions

  Miguna Miguna recently made a statement regarding the actions of the Kenya Kwaza government, alleging that they are actively seeking out individuals to disrupt the protests of the Gen Zs. According to Miguna Miguna, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and the Kenya Kwaza (KK) have resorted to paying bloggers, some of whom are posing as protesters, in an attempt to sow discord and create divisions within the protesting community.

Two Camps, One Region: The Mt Kenya Split Kindiki Has to Navigate

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki's political problem in Mt Kenya is not one rival but two. According to the story, the region is divided between a side allied to former President Uhuru Kenyatta and another allied to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Each camp has put up political resistance to Kindiki, and the story says that has made his time in the region difficult. The story describes a possible way out. Elders are reportedly working behind the scenes to reconcile Uhuru, Kindiki and Gachagua, with the aim of unity in Mt Kenya and beyond. If that effort succeeded, the story argues, it could reopen the region to the ruling UDA and help President William Ruto win votes there again. The route to that outcome is long. The story presents the reconciliation as something that could happen, not something under way between the leaders themselves. It names no elders, gives no timeline, and quotes none of the three men on whether they are open to talks. Until one of them says so, th...
