Travel Departures: Sudan warning
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE Foreign Office travel advice unit (071-270 4129) is 'strongly advising' British nationals not to visit parts of southern Sudan, where a civil war has been fought since 1983. Travellers should contact the British Embassy in Khartoum (010 249 11 70760) before visiting neighbouring provinces.
Travellers to Croatia in former Yugoslavia are warned that only northern Croatia, west of the line from Bijelovar to Kutina, Zagreb city centre, the Istrian peninsula, the Adriatic islands and part of the north coast from the Slovenia border to Senj are considered safe.
'But there remains a risk of a rapid deterioration of security even in these areas.' says the FO unit.
Visitors are advised to listen to the BBC and to consult the British Embassy in Zagreb (010 385 41 340 411).
