• We advise against all travel to the following parts of Sudan: the Eritrean border, Abyei in South Kordofan, areas south of Juba in Central and East Equatoria, in West Equatoria within 40kms of the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Malakal in the Ali Annil region. See the relevant Local Travel section of this advice for more details. • We advise against all but essential travel to the following parts of Sudan: Kassala, all parts of southern Sudan (including Juba), Darfur and areas west of the towns of an-Nahud and al-Fula in North Kordofan, which borders Darfur. See the relevant Local Travel section of this advice for more details. • We have received reports of the kidnapping of 5 aid workers in Darfur. Initial reports indicate no British nationals are involved. The security situation in Darfur remains unstable and you should exercise a high level of vigilance and extreme caution at all times. • The International Criminal Court announced on 4 March 2009 its decision to issue an arrest warrant for President Bashir for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. There have been a number of rallies and demonstrations around Khartoum and other towns since the announcement. We are monitoring the situation closely and advise those currently in Sudan to maintain a high level of vigilance, to keep a low profile and avoid crowds. As a precaution in case of further demonstrations which might inhibit movement, you are advised to maintain several days’ stock of food and water. If a demonstration or rally occurs in your locality we advise you to remain inside until it has passed. Those currently in or considering travelling to Sudan should keep abreast of the latest situation, check the Travel Advice regularly, and register using our LOCATE service and with your local Embassy warden. • The Government of Sudan announced on 5 March that it had revoked the licences of 13 International NGOs and ordered the sequestration of assets and expulsion of international staff members. • There were reports of fighting at the airport in Malakal ( Ali Annil region, South of Khartoum) on 24/25 February between armed militia. We advise against all travel to this area. We will continue to monitor the situation closely. • JEM rebels launched an attack on Omdurman, a city close to Khartoum on the west bank of the Nile on 10 May. In response the Government of Sudan imposed a curfew across Khartoum and Omdurman. This no longer remains in force. • Heavy fighting in the Abyei (South Kordofan) region occurred between 14 - 21 May. The UN and other international organisations evacuated their civilian staff from the area. A violent incident at a market in Abyei on 12 December reportedly killed one and injured others. Tensions remain high between tribal elements in the area. • There is a high threat from terrorism. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers. • Banditry in Darfur is widespread and you should exercise caution when travelling outside the major population centres or at night. There have been several incidents involving NGO and UN staff and some African Union peace monitoring troops have been killed. See the Local Travel (Darfur and North Kordofan) sections of this travel for more details. • The Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed in January 2005 has effectively brought to an end the north-south civil war. However, some areas remain tense. There continue to be demonstrations, which have turned violent. You should remain vigilant and avoid demonstrations or similar large gatherings in public places. See the Political Situation section of this advice for more details.
