Belize Advisory

For those of you travelling to Belize soon, you should be keeping an eye of the following situation (link):

The tiny Central American nation of Belize, rich in jungle and coral reefs, is in its worst crisis since independence from Britain in 1981 with riots, looting and strikes testing the government.

Best known for its world-class scuba diving and Mayan ruins in dense jungle, Belize has been thrown into turmoil by a telephone workers' strike, power outages and opposition calls for the government to step down.

Army troops and police are patrolling the streets after youths rioted and looted businesses late last week in Belize City, the largest town in this country of 270,000 people.
