A friend has just crossed South Sudan. She could not cross the border from Ethiopia to South Sudan directly (Ethiopians wouldn't allow for the exit), so had to make a detour through Kenya.
As has been said before there is no way (!!) crossing the war zone between Sudan and South Sudan at this moment. I know of some South Africans who have managed to do so a few years ago but that was right after the peace agreement which now seems to be a distant memory.
Another friend tried to go South from Khartoum but was stopped way before the border area in Kordofan by police checkpoints.
So this is no alternative, I believe.
It would really be good news if the Nairobi option would be up again for the Ethiopian visa.
Greetings
Achim
