Maximum Alerts / Sudan
Level published by the State Department on 14.05.2026 · read 13 October 2026 · source checked daily
Sudan — official level as of 13 October 2026: Level 4/4 ("Do Not Travel"), from the U.S. Department of State. Maximum Insurance covers this country: hospital settled directly, unlimited repatriation, USD 1.5M, certificate on payment.
Every country has its own scale, so we ask them all the same question: is the whole country advised against?
An advisory covering only areas of the country does not raise the answer: it stays “No”, and the area is shown in the relevant column.
The level shown on this page — and across this site — is the one published by the U.S. State Department, from 1 (normal precautions) to 4 (do not travel). France and the United Kingdom publish their own advisories, with their own rules: they add to that level, they do not replace it.

In a life-threatening emergency, call local emergency services first, then Maximum: +41 22 ••• •• •• — 24/7 support number, an adviser stays with you to the end.
The 207 country pages — hospitals, pharmacies, police, embassies, emergency numbers, official advice from four governments, health, safety in figures, events in progress — read around the city you name. Your policy — benefits, the six steps, claims, articles. The site — prices, certificate, subscription. Nothing else: what it does not know, it says so and hands you to an adviser.
What I say on the phone
What to do, in this order
In immediate danger, call local emergency services first. Then contact assistance without delay; before engaging a service, seek approval under your policy. Cover is confirmed by the insurer.
Ask assistance where to get care and whether direct cover can be arranged. It confirms the facility and seeks the insurer's approval under your policy. In immediate danger, call local emergency services first.
Even for a pain you meant to shrug off. Without a medical certificate written on the spot, the same day, the insurer cannot cover the event — a certificate written after you return does not count.
The hospital desk sends the request to assistance. Direct payment depends on the insurer's approval and the policy; the call alone does not guarantee it. Have the response confirmed before relying on no up-front payment.
In a life-threatening emergency, call local emergency services immediately. For an arranged transfer or repatriation, contact assistance: the insurer's medical team decides on measures under the policy. A medical flight booked without approval may not be reimbursed.
Even if everything went well on the ground. Send your invoices and the medical report within 30 days; after that, compensation may be reduced or refused.

Dernière actualisation le 12/03/2026, information toujours valable à la date du jour
Des affrontements violents ont éclaté le 15 avril 2023 entre les Forces Armées Soudanaises et les Forces de Soutien Rapides à Khartoum et dans d’autres villes du Soudan. Depuis lors, la situation reste extrêmement volatile et dangereuse.
L’Ambassade de France à Khartoum est fermée jusqu’à nouvel ordre et n’est plus en mesure d’assurer l’assistance consulaire des ressortissants français qui se trouveraient encore sur place.
Il est instamment recommandé à tous les ressortissants français qui se trouveraient encore au Soudan de quitter le territoire par leurs propres moyens, et de se rendre dans un pays voisin (Égypte ou Éthiopie).
Il est formellement déconseillé de se rendre dans l’ensemble du territoire soudanais, y compris à Khartoum et à Port-Soudan. Le pays est depuis plusieurs années traversé par un conflit extrêmement meurtrier. Même à distance des zones de combat s actifs, l’ensemble des régions du Soudan sont susceptibles d’être touchées par des frappes aériennes notamment de drones. La criminalité y reste extrêmement forte compte tenu de l’importante circulation d’armements depuis le déclenchement du conflit en 2023.
Il est formellement déconseillé de se rendre dans les cinq États fédérés du Darfour, où la situation sécuritaire reste très instable. Ces États sont soumis à de fortes restrictions de circulation de la part des autorités locales.
Des combats entre forces gouvernementales et forces rebelles s’y déroulent encore de manière récurrente, mais on assiste surtout à un accroissement des heurts intercommunautaires et à une recrudescence d’actes de violence de nature criminelle (vols de véhicules, attaques à main armée, prise d’otages, etc.) perpétrés par des « coupeurs de route ».
Il est formellement déconseillé de se rendre au Kordofan où le conflit s’est récemment étendu. Au Kordofan méridional, des affrontements réguliers opposent également l’armée et un groupe rebelle qui refuse jusqu’ici d’intégrer le processus de paix inter-Soudanais.
Le Djebel ‘Aouînât est une zone frontalière isolée (située entre l’Égypte, le Soudan et la Libye), lieu de passage de nombreux trafics où des milices sévissent en toute impunité. Les voyages dans cette région sont formellement déconseillés, en raison des activités criminelles qui s’y déroulent.

Compte tenu des menaces pesant d’une manière générale sur les intérêts occidentaux dans la zone sahélienne, le risque d’attaques sur tout le territoire,est réel.
Il est instamment recommandé à tous les ressortissants français de ne pas se rendre au Soudan.
La criminalité est très forte compte tenu de la forte dégradation de la situation sécuritaire, économique et humanitaire.
Des attaques de pirates proches des côtes du Soudan et plus au large par les Houthis contre les navires étrangers sont régulièrement signalées. Il est recommandé de consulter les informations de la fiche Piraterie maritime .

Il est déconseillé de se rendre au Soudan. La sécurité n’est pas assurée. Depuis avril 2023, de lourds combats ont lieu dans l’ensemble du pays entre les forces armées soudanaises (Sudanese Armed Forces SAF) et un groupe paramilitaire (Rapid Support Forces RSF). De nombreux autres groupes armés sont impliqués et soutiennent l'une ou l'autre des parties. Les affrontements se poursuivent sur l’ensemble du territoire, en particulier dans la moitié sud du pays. Les attaques de drones se multiplient, causant de nombreuses victimes et aggravant encore la situation sécuritaire. L'utilisation de mines, les attaques ciblées contre des personnes civiles et la violence généralisée font des victimes et des blessés et ont contraint des millions de personnes à fuir. Des pillages, viols et invasions de maisons sont fréquents. La situation est volatile et l’évolution est incertaine. L’approvisionnement de base (nourriture, eau, électricité, médicaments) n’est pas assuré. Les communications téléphoniques et l’accès à Internet sont souvent bloqués. L'Ambassade de Suisse à Khartoum est fermée jusqu’à nouvel ordre. Les personnes de nationalité suisse qui séjournent au Soudan sont prises en charge par l'Ambassade de Suisse à Nairobi.

Reading: With 0.2 physicians per 1,000 people (96% fewer than Switzerland), the nearest hospital does not always have the capacity for a serious case: evacuation to an adequate centre is the rule, not the exception — that is what unlimited evacuation and repatriation cover. Health spending of 21 USD per person (Switzerland: 11,784) goes with private hospitals that bill foreigners in hard currency and ask for a guarantee before admission: the direct payment guarantee is what avoids the deposit.

In a life-threatening emergency, call local emergency services first, then Maximum: +41 22 ••• •• •• — 24/7 support number, an adviser stays with you to the end.
The 207 country pages — hospitals, pharmacies, police, embassies, emergency numbers, official advice from four governments, health, safety in figures, events in progress — read around the city you name. Your policy — benefits, the six steps, claims, articles. The site — prices, certificate, subscription. Nothing else: what it does not know, it says so and hands you to an adviser.
The published advisory level is national, but risk is not: business hubs (Khartoum, Port-Soudan) do not share the profile of border areas. The medical network shown on this page is computed around Khartoum — real hospitals, evacuation airport and live alerts. Before a specific trip, always cross-check your country of residence's advisory: that is what your policy cites.
Same advisory level: Haiti · Iraq · Iran · Lebanon · Libya · Mali
The displayed level comes from the State Department, checked every morning. Before departure, always cross-check your country of residence's advisory: that is what your policy cites.
The level shown is the official U.S. Department of State level, checked daily. Maximum Insurance is an insurance distributor — general information, not personal advice.
