Trips to the field is possible for expatriates under certain condition but are limited to keep the presence of international staff low profile.

SECURITY:

The situation in terms of security remains tense in Aden and its surrounding Lahj governorate, due to the proximity of the frontline, the political unrest and the presence of different armed groups (STC, IRG) but also Jihadist groups as IS and AQAP. Main identified threats for Aden are crossfire (wrong location at the wrong moment), kidnapping or hostage taking (even though there is no proven history of kidnapping of expatriates), crowd mob and road accidents.
