The US Department of State has placed Sudan on its highest-risk, red-category travel advisory list, alongside several African countries, following Washington’s periodic security assessment of conditions and potential risks around the world.
The US red list includes several countries experiencing escalating political and security tensions, notably Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Libya, Mali, Niger, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan.
The department indicated that “the ability of US embassies and consulates to provide emergency assistance or consular services to American citizens in these areas is extremely limited or non-existent.”
