UAE warns its citizens not to travel to Lebanon

Share:

The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised Emirati citizens not to travel to Lebanon due to the current situation in the region “for their own safety”.

“If necessary, holders of diplomatic and special passports planning to travel to Lebanon should obtain prior permits from the Ministry and should coordinate with it before departure by calling the Ministry on 02-4449600,” a statement said.

As for holders of normal passports, the Ministry requests them to sign a pledge at the airport to take full responsibility when they travel to Lebanon.

Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Hamed, the Ministry Undersecretary, said the travel advice was issued out of the ministry’s keenness to maintain the safety of citizens.

He appealed to citizens to comply with the travel advice until further notice and take utmost caution when traveling abroad.

He also advised travellers to visit the ministry’s website frequently to update themselves on the latest official advice and to register with its travel advice service so that the ministry knows their whereabouts and can offer help in case of emergency.

    This will help reduce the spread of the bugs too … a good thing. Planes these days are incubators for many bugs, since, when they stopped those ‘naughty smokers’ using the back of the cabins, they cut air-flow to save fuel. (Food-smells, farts, and arm-pits can’t harm you – only make for the usual headaches after 4 or 5 hrs. – take a pill.)

    Nice to see the ‘Emirates’ understand the ’24/7′ concept. ;-)))))

    FACT
    Opposition commander: Israel, Iran, Hezbollah helping ASSad

    Syrian opposition commander has accused Israel of working with Iran and Hezbollah to support Bashar ASSad in his two year effort to topple opposing forces, Turkish news network Today’s Zaman reported on Sunday.

    Abdulkader Saleh, a commander in the al-Tawhid Brigade of the Free Syrian Army told Today’s Zaman that “ASSad has protected Israel’s border for 40 years,” and that is why “Iran and Hezbollah are cooperating with Israel to be able to support ASSad” in Syria’s raging civil war.

    Despite previous media reports that last week’s airstrikes in Syria were an Israeli initiative to aid FSA forces and stop Hezbollah from helping ASSad attain destructive weapons, Saleh told Zaman that these reports were false.
