Executive Summary

Adopt a strict low-profile posture and avoid all political gathering sites in Karachi this weekend. The upcoming visit of the American Vice President to Islamabad will trigger anti-Western protests locally. Localized riots and inflated transport fares will trap field teams moving through volatile urban zones. Restrict your staff movements to essential operations only and avoid areas with heavy police presence. Verify the structural safety of your compounds following recent deadly residential gas explosions across the city.
