\u201cI\u2019ve advised all Italian tourists to be careful. Anyone going to the Red Sea, for example, should avoid day-trips. They should be careful, but there\u2019s no need to panic\u201d. The point was reiterated by Foreign Minister Emma Bonino, speaking on the Unomattina programme on the situation and the possible risks faced by Italians holidaying abroad.<\/P>

\u201cThe information we\u2019re sending out varies from one capital to another\u201d, added the Minister. \u201cThe entire southern coast of the Mediterranean is living through an era-defining period, with regional clashes involving several countries. A call for prudence is the very least that\u2019s required\u201d. Minister Bonino once again invited Italian tourists to register with \u201c’Dove siamo nel mondo\u201d, the Farnesina\u2019s website for Italians travelling abroad. \u201cBy doing so, you\u2019ll be helping us to help you: we certainly don\u2019t want to monitor anybody\u2019s life\u201d.<\/P>

Father Paolo Dall’Oglio \u201cseems to have been kidnapped by an Islamic group, a local version of Al Qaeda [\u2026] You will surely understand all the difficulties. We have by no means given up. I\u2019m confident\u201d, commented Minister Bonino. <\/P>
\n

Turning to the press correspondent, Domenico Quirico, who has phoned his family just once since his disappearance in April, \u201cI am hopeful\u201d, said Bonino, \u201ceven though the situation\u2019s very difficult, because the groups in conflict are very different. [\u2026] My confidence isn\u2019t just a result of the phone call but also of other contacts, through various channels, which have been broken off and then resumed. I want to say to Quirico and his wife that we haven\u2019t given up\u201d, concluded the foreign minister. <\/P>
