Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The US government has issued an advisory to its citizens not to travel to South Sudan due to crimes, kidnapping, and armed conflict in the country.<\/p>\n

The Department of State stated on its official website yesterday, that the security situation in South Sudan has reached an alarming level.<\/p>\n

The department\u2019s Bureau of Consular Affairs alleges that carjackings, shootings, ambushes, assaults, robberies, and kidnappings are common throughout South Sudan, including Juba.<\/p>\n

It said foreign nationals have been the victims of rape, sexual assault, armed robberies, and other violent crimes.<\/p>\n

According to the US Department of State, armed conflict is ongoing and includes fighting between various political and ethnic groups.<\/p>\n

In addition, it said weapons are readily available to the population, and cattle raids occur throughout the country which often leads to violence.<\/p>\n

Washington also noted that reporting in South Sudan without the proper documentation from the South Sudanese Media Authority is considered illegal.<\/p>\n

Journalists regularly report being harassed in South Sudan, and some have been killed under different circumstances including covering the conflict.<\/p>\n

The U.S. government warned its citizens that it has limited ability to provide emergency consular services to its citizens in South Sudan and that it has put its personnel under a strict curfew and uses armored vehicles for nearly all their movements.<\/p>\n
