The U.S. Department of State issued a Level 4 advisory for South Sudan due to unrest, crime, kidnapping, landmines, and health risks. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services, and medical facilities are extremely limited.
The U.S. Department of State maintained its Level 4 'Do Not Travel' advisory for South Sudan, adding 'health' and 'unrest' risk indicators and updating the summary. The advisory cites risks of unrest, crime, kidnapping, landmines and health threats, and notes the U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency consular services. Government personnel operate under a strict curfew, use armored vehicles and face limited official travel outside Juba.
The UK FCDO advises against all travel to South Sudan due to the risk of armed violence and criminality. The political and security situation is unpredictable and could deteriorate rapidly. Routes in and out may be blocked, Juba airport may close or be inaccessible, and flights may be cancelled at short notice. Consular assistance is severely limited, with no in-person support available.
