US government tells citizens abroad not to fight back in robberies

The United States government has issued a safety warning to American citizens traveling or living overseas, telling them not to physically resist if they are targeted in a robbery. The advisory comes as a chilling reminder about personal safety abroad, urging people to hand over their belongings rather than risk physical harm. Officials note that personal items can be replaced, but human life cannot. The warning applies broadly to Americans outside the country who might face street crime, muggings, or armed theft while away from home.
