The Australians are currently on their first tour of the country in nearly a quarter of a century, having previously declined to visit because of security fears. There have been no serious threats directed at the team since their arrival last month, but several political rallies -- both for and against the government -- are planned in the nearby capital in the coming days and weeks. Hundreds of thousands of people can descend on the capital during political rallies, choking traffic and causing security problems for officials.
