Do not travel to South Sudan due to armed conflict, crime, kidnapping, and the regional Ebola outbreak.
Do not travel to South Sudan. Armed conflict, violent crime, and kidnapping remain widespread, fighting between armed groups continues in several states, and humanitarian access is restricted. The regional outbreak of Ebola (Bundibugyo virus disease), declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, adds a serious health threat in a country whose medical system has almost no capacity to respond. Border and movement restrictions connected to the outbreak can close departure routes with little warning, and no reliable consular support is available. The situation can deteriorate rapidly and without warning.
