extr Mali: Level 4: Do Not Travel
Effective 4177 years ago ---
There are no serious national events at this time.
Multiple global flashpoints including Ukraine, Middle East escalation, and US-China military tensions warrant continued monitoring, but current indicators do not suggest imminent threats to US civilian safety. The situation requires sustained preparedness posture within a medium-term timeframe rather than acute alert status.
