The Government of Burkina Faso has reported that an attack on a restaurant in downtown Ouagadougou, popular with expatriates, has resulted in a number of fatalities. Australians currently in Burkina Faso should avoid the area, monitor local media and follow directions from local authorities (See Safety and security). We continue to advise travellers to reconsider the need to travel to Burkina Faso overall. Higher levels apply in some areas.
