- Following the past days’ of turbulences in several Stockholm suburbs, the US is now advising its citizens in Sweden to avoid the areas affected by riots. The warning was issued via an e-mail to all American citizens registered at the U.S Embassy in Stockholm. Said spokesperson for the embassy, Jeff Anderson: “We informed all Americans citizens about the events in certain Stockholm suburbs in recent days.” In the message American citizens are advised to stay away from the affected areas. “It is recommended that American citizens avoid the areas where there are demonstrations as much as possible, and to always be careful,” Anderson added.
