The United States ordered the immediate departure of non-emergency personnel from the capital of South Sudan, citing an increase in crime, kidnapping and armed conflict, the Department of State said Sunday.
The travel advisory level for South Sudan remains at Level 4, which means Americans should not travel to the African country.
“Violent crime, such as carjackings, shootings, ambushes, assaults, robberies, and kidnappings are common throughout South Sudan, including Juba,” the advisory said. “Foreign nationals have been the victims of rape, sexual assault, armed robberies, and other violent crimes.”
It also said that the U.S. government has “limited ability to provide emergency consular services to U.S. citizens in South Sudan.”
