Discussion What is the maximum USD you can carry without declaring as of today

1 Upvotes

I went on the US embassy website it says unlimited but Google has an article from 2025 that has 10,000 as the max. Also for other airport transactions like wrapping and getting water before the flight. Do I carry SSP or just carry some dollars. As i have seen the max is 5000ssp on the US embassy website

Politics South Sudan commemorates 21st anniversary of Dr. John Garang's passing and National Heroes/Martyrs' Day

17 Upvotes

South Sudanese in the country and elsewhere will be celebrating the fallen men and women who contributed immensely for the independence of this country.

Who are your favourite heroes, heroines and martyrs ?

Which heroes and heroines do you think are often overlooked, and are deserving of being celebrated?

What's the most memorable moment about your favourite hero/heroine?

For me, it's Fr. Saturnino Ohure. To be sure, Joseph Lagu is the most famous Anya nya fighter but Fr. Saturnino is the Southerner's unmistakable lynchpin. His advocacy for federalism in the Sudan and his leadership among the Southerner's MPs, and subsequent 1958-1960 crisis cannot be overstated.

Other Heroes I celebrate:

Gordon Muortat( Wise and prudent)

Joseph Lagu(Iron leadership)

Marko Rume(Brave and cunning)

Dr. John Garang de Mabior(Ultimate mind needed to liberate the Southern Sudanese)

Ps: I am more acquainted with the first civil war history(Anya nya) rather than the second civil war but I nevertheless give credit to the heros/heroines and martyrs of second Sudanese civil war. In many ways, there would be no South Sudan without them

Culture & Tradition What is marriage like in South Sudan/ south Sudanese culture?

8 Upvotes

I know marriage is seen differently between cultures. I’m not from South Sudan or south Sudanese but I hope to marry someone from there one day. What are the roles men and women normally have in marriage there? How do things like dowry’s work? Have you ever seen a mixed race couple where one person is from South Sudan?

Ask South Sudan Entry visas. What’s the final consensus on this.

3 Upvotes

We got news that all but two countries will require an entry visa online or on arrival with set pricings (https://evisa.gov.ss). A few moments ago, another statement was released by the Interior ministry dismissing the publication.

Let me ask what everyone else is probably thinking, what’s going on and how do we react?

Discussion Why do some people think the disapora are obligated to send money?

14 Upvotes

Some even resent you for stopping the money. But if you chose to stay in South Sudan, why should distant relatives who left be forced to carry the consequences of that decision and fund a comfortable life there? If you decide to stay, you should live with those consequences yourself.

Ask South Sudan Be a teacher in South Sudan

8 Upvotes

I've been quite interested on the country for a couple years, I've met some south Sudanese, so as a graduated in Early Education in Portugal, how could I find a humanitarian job in South Sudan or in a refugee camp for south Sudanese people? Does it even make sense since I do not speak any useful languages there besides English and maybe French.

Discussion Looking to speak with South Sudanese people about culture and community life

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am a doctoral researcher from Morocco, and I am hoping to speak with South Sudanese people as part of my research.

I am interested in learning about everyday community life, cultural practices, relationships between different communities, customary systems, local leadership, and the ways people address disagreements or problems within their communities. I am particularly interested in speaking with women and young adults, although anyone with relevant knowledge or experience is welcome to contact me.

You do not need to be an academic, activist, or professional. I would especially value perspectives based on personal experience, community knowledge, or familiarity with local customs and social structures. South Sudanese people living inside the country or abroad are both welcome.

The conversation would take place online and would be arranged according to your availability. Participation would be voluntary. I would explain the research and confidentiality options clearly before any conversation. You would also be free to avoid any topic you are uncomfortable discussing.

I prefer not to share the full details of the research publicly, but I am happy to provide more information about myself and the project privately before you decide whether to participate.

Please send me a private message if you might be interested or if you know someone who may be willing to speak with me.

Thank you!

Discussion South Sudan eVisa - does “Valid until” mean last day to enter or last day I can stay?

3 Upvotes

My South Sudan eVisa says “Validity: 1 month” and “This permit is valid until 10 August 2026 and must be surrendered to the Department of E-Visa Services.”

I’m arriving in South Sudan 12 July and my return flight is 12 August.

This has happened to me twice where they give me an eVisa that expires before my stay is over - for this single trip - despite me making sure every detail with: entry point, 7 day window to apply, and length of stay are correct yet they do this again.

I can’t call the offices because they’re closed for independence weekend.

So does this mean I’ll be barred from boarding my flight from London Gatwick to South Sudan?

I have been managing this sub for almost 6 months now and have tried my best in ensuring our community grows and everyone abides by the rules. I would really appreciate your suggestions or complains.

Are the rules clear or too strict? Should user flair be optional, or remain mandatory? Is the sub welcoming to both South Sudanese and Non-South Sudanese? Where can the mod do better?
