The Spanish Foreign Ministry, in a statement Monday, called on Spanish citizens not to travel to Tunisia or Egypt due to unrest in recent days, most notably against the blasphemous film on Islam\'s Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). \"It is recommended to avoid traveling to Tunisia and Egypt,\" the ministry said on its website, adding that \"but to those who are planning to travel should take extreme cautious and avoid protests for their own safety.\" The statement also directed citizens to take precautionary measures in these two countries\' capitals, coastal areas, and open areas.

Last April, the ministry issues a similar statement warning its citizens not to travel Yemen and leave the country.
