Embassy warning for U.S. Citizens
Due to increased violent crime in the country, the United States Embassy of Belize has issued a security warning to its citizens who are either on holiday or living in Belize. The note specifically addresses an increase in sexual assaults and robberies. It says quote “The crime threat in Belize is high. Random and organized crime is endemic throughout the country. U.S. citizens have not been singled out by reason of their nationality, but are subject to the same threat as all other persons in Belize… There has been an increase in sexual assaults in Belize. While the primary targets have been younger females walking alone at night, assaults have also occurred during home invasions. U.S. citizens should also be vigilant while driving on the Intelco/Mountain View hill in Belmopan. Local criminals target vehicles traveling up this hill at night and surprise the occupants and rob/assault them.” unquote The release also points out that Belize City is the hub for most criminal activity and precaution should still be taken in areas frequented by tourists.
Nice tourism promotion we’ve earned. Good thing we don’t need or want U.S. dollars.

Rod this PM doesn’t get it, he will never resign because he loves POWER & doesn’t want to admit his failures, so he keeps raping the country.
Aha- it was only a matter of time. But, since donsy Barrow is not living in Belize, to him this is not important. Where he lives, in his make-believe land of Belize- all is sunny and running well.
This is the most INCOMPETENT, ARROGANT AND FAILED PM IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY!!!!!!
Like they say- if you cannot be a part of the solution- then you are a part of the problem- Get it PM??

This is so embarassing! I would like to know what the HELL the so call prime minister is doing to fix this big problem. One thing I know , Belize will be losing a lot of tourists in the near future .
How stupid and uninformed are you people? The us state dept is always giving out warnings of this nature for many countries.mit is very definitely not the first time they have issued warnings for Belize. The gist of this warning seems to be the increase in sexual assaults and robberies so it is noting a change in trend. And where the hell have you all been for the past two decades? Probably not born yet which may explain your ignorance. The crime problem has been progressively deteriorating since the early 1990’s. What we are seeing is the continuation of a trend that has been building through pup and udp administrations. Yes we have to do everything to halt it but we won’t accomplish that by denying the root and history of the problem and choosing to blame one individual. With your kind of thinking, belt,ze can never solve this problem.
Did they also mention that most of the rapes are done by americans living in Belize? Raping kids. At least here in the north. I agree the crime is getting worst. We need to change our laws. And I agree with ROD we need to unite and do something NOW!! Dont wait until nucks on your door. The way is going it will soon. When it happens you could cry a river and nothing will bring back whoever family member you lost.
@@ Barry Well said, the US is having problems around the world and their warnings ARE world wide!!!!!!!!
Thank you Barry. Let’s be real about the issues and come up with real solutions…
No one politician brought about this problem and rest assure no politician can solve it. This is the problem with you the masses, you are blaming it on everyone but yourselves. You sold your votes to both political parties and now you can enjoy the rewards of your $20 vote. Surely you are not that naive to think politicians care about anything but their own wellbeing. So quit your whining and enjoy the fruit of your labor. You have no one to blame but yourself. As the Holy Word of God says, do not be fooled for God cannot be mocked, what a man sows he shall surely reap. When you sow of the flesh you reap corruption.
How !@#$%^& sad………..
And to think…Belize was named one of the countries with the happiest people recently…bah, humbug!

And to think…Belize was named one of the countries with the happiest people recently…bah, humbug! How can anyone be happy with this state of crime?
No one has mentioned that the guns that are killing people in Belize are made in the USA!
