Senegal中的安全性

人身安全

Petty crime does occur, particularly in crowded areas, and foreigners are sometimes targeted. With respect to your personal safety, be cautious and always be aware of your surroundings, especially at night. Violent crime can occur in the cities, especially in Dakar. Be particularly vigilant around Place de l’Independence, the central area of the Plateau, the Western Corniche, and at the Leopold Senghor International Airport.

Travellers should avoid isolated areas and avoid walking at night. Do not show signs of wealth, (expensive clothing, jewelry, etc.) and ensure your travel documents and personal belongings are safe at all times.

Main roads are good, but other roads can be in poor condition and drivers may not adhere to safe driving rules. Some taxis and public transportation vehicles might not meet safety standards.

Carry photo identification with you at all times as authorities may conduct identification checks. Be cautious at the airport because strangers sometimes approach travellers, for example as a bogus greeter. There is a risk of abduction in Senegal. Travellers should ensure their accommodations are secure and reputable.

Homosexuality is illegal in Senegal and is punishable by up to five years in prison and fines up to $2,500 (US dollars). A 2010 report by Human Rights Watch noted that there is widespread abuse of gay men, including torture, particularly by police.

極端暴力

Terrorist attacks occur in Senegal. These occur indiscriminately. Remote areas are especially vulnerable to terror attacks, including by groups from nearby countries. Hot spots also include near the borders with Mauritania and Mali as well as to the east of the city of Podor as far as Kidira.

政治動盪

Demonstrations are common in this country. Protests about political issues occur frequently and are likely to increase in the build up to presidential elections in February 2024. These events usually take place in Dakar (also including in the vicinity of the Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS)). Avoid demonstrations and political gatherings as they are unpredictable and can become violent with little warning.

應避免的區域

Travel to Casamance is discouraged due to looting, robberies, and clashes between Senegalese forces and rebels forces of the MFDC (Mouvement des Forces Démocratiques de Casamance). Land mines are still a problem in Basse-Casamance. Avoid road travel in the Casamance region in southern Senegal, except Cap Skirring, Ziguinchor and the main road between these cities. Cars and public buses have been ambushed and passengers robbed. If you travel to Cap Skirring or Ziguinchor you should travel directly by air, sea or only on the main road between the two locations.

Avoid travel to the border areas with Mauritania and Mali.

Armed attacks against travellers have occurred on roads near the border with The Gambia, including the Sédhiou region. The border areas with Guinea-Bissau are also dangerous, including Ziguinchor, Nyassia, and Niagha. Avoid unnecessary road travel whenever possible since there is a risk of kidnapping in remote areas of the country.
