ROAD TRAVEL

Road travel within Southern Sudan had been virtually dangerous during the civil war due to heavy presence of landmines on and around key roads.

With the signing of the CPA and establishment of the Government of South Sudan, a lot of activities have been undertaken largely by the UN agencies to demine main roads in and around South Sudan.

As the southern states' governments also engage in the development of road links, check the Seasonal Road Conditions.
