The United States Department of State has advised its citizens not to travel to 23 countries after placing them under its highest travel advisory, Level 4: Do Not Travel.

According to an updated travel advisory published on Saturday on the department’s TravelGov X account, countries placed under Level 4 are considered highly dangerous or are locations where the US government’s ability to provide assistance to its citizens is severely limited.

“We issue Travel Advisories with Levels 1–4. Level 4 means DO NOT TRAVEL. We assign Level 4 based on local conditions and/or our limited ability to help Americans there,” the department said in the notice posted on Thursday.

It added, “These places are dangerous. Do not go for ANY reason.”

The advisory identifies 11 African countries among those on the Level 4 list. They are Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Libya, Mali, Niger, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda.
