🇬🇧 English

On March 24, 2026, President issued a notice continuing the national emergency first declared on April 3, 2014 by Executive Order 13664. The emergency addresses the unusual and extraordinary threat to U.S. national security and foreign policy posed by the situation in South Sudan, including widespread violence, atrocities, human rights abuses, recruitment and use of child soldiers, attacks on peacekeepers, and obstruction of humanitarian aid. The notice states that these conditions persist and therefore the emergency must continue in effect beyond April 3, 2026. The national emergency is extended for one additional year in accordance with the National Emergencies Act. The action maintains existing sanctions authorities and related measures targeting those responsible for destabilizing South Sudan and the surrounding region.
