Australia advises against all travel to Mali following the United States' call to leave the country amid a security crisis and jihadist threats.

The climate of insecurity prevailing in Mali continues to raise concerns within the international community. Following the United States, which called on its citizens to leave the country "immediately," Australia has, in turn, raised its travel advisory for its citizens.

In its latest bulletin published on the official Smartraveler website , the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs strongly advises against all travel to Mali, which is now classified as a "Do Not Travel" zone. The Australian government cites a high threat of terrorism, kidnappings, and a security situation deemed "highly unstable."

While Washington has been more categorical in urging Americans in Mali to "leave immediately," Canberra is currently taking a more measured approach, simply calling for the utmost caution. The Australian Embassy in Ghana, which provides diplomatic coverage for Mali, reiterated on its official channels that "security conditions are unpredictable" and that consular services in the region are limited.

This warning comes amid high internal tensions, marked by repeated attacks by armed groups, a fuel crisis and a progressive deterioration of the humanitarian situation.

For the Malian authorities, these foreign warnings are part of an unjustified campaign of diplomatic pressure. The transitional government has not yet officially responded to these announcements.

On the ground, however, many observers point to a worsening of instability, particularly in the center and north of the country, where several areas are still outside the control of regular forces.

While evacuations remain possible via commercial flights, the international community is closely monitoring the situation, fearing a gradual isolation of Mali on the diplomatic stage.
