Citing "racial tensions in some American cities," Bahamas has issued a travel warning for its citizens thinking about a trip to the United States.
The alert, posted Friday – the day after five police officers were shot dead in Dallas – is not unlike the advisories issued by the Department of State for U.S. citizens traveling to unstable and warn-torn nations.
"We wish to advise all Bahamians traveling to the US but especially to the affected cities to exercise appropriate caution generally," the warning reads. "In particular young males are asked to exercise extreme caution in affected cities in their interactions with the police. Do not be confrontational and cooperate."
July 10 is Independence Day for citizens of Bahamas, and the government is anticipating revelers traveling to celebrate in nearby Florida.
"Do not get involved in political or other demonstrations under any circumstances and avoid crowds," the alert warns.
