Sudan: Security Situation
There are ongoing military clashes occurring in Khartoum and other parts of Sudan. We now advise do not travel to Sudan. We advise all New Zealanders in Sudan to remain indoors and shelter in place until further notice.
There are reports that Khartoum International Airport is closed and that other airports in Sudan are closed to commercial flights. There may be disruptions to critical infrastructure and essential services. Monitor local media coverage and follow the advice of local authorities. Contact your friends and family as soon as possible to let them know that you are safe.
We advise New Zealanders remaining in Sudan that the deteriorating security environment may mean that you will need to consider departure at short notice. We recommend having a contingency plan for departure in place and ensuring you have adequate supplies of food, water, fuel, cash and essential medication stockpiled.
If you require consular assistance, please contact the New Zealand Embassy Ethiopia on +251 (11) 515 1269 or call the New Zealand consular emergency number: +64 99 20 20 20.
We encourage all New Zealanders visiting or living in Sudan to register their details on SafeTravel.
