WARN

The US State Department publishes these advisories for your route. South Sudan: Level 4 — Do Not Travel (as of 2026-05-17). This is the State Department's highest advisory. Consular help may be limited or unavailable; review the country page and confirm your insurance covers the situation before committing.
