Sudan risks

The US Department of State warns of the risks of traveling to Sudan and urges avoiding the Darfur region and the Blue Nile and South Kordofan states.

While the government of Sudan has taken some steps to limit the activities of terrorist groups, elements of these groups remain and have threatened to attack Western interests. The terrorist threat level throughout Sudan remains critical, particularly in the Darfur region.

On March 13, after six months without security incidents or demonstrations targeted at US citizens or the US government in Sudan, the State Department lifted its ordered departure status, and all US government personnel were authorized to return to Khartoum.
