Il Sudan del Sud, anche Sud Sudan o Sudan Meridionale, ufficialmente Repubblica del Sudan del Sud o del Sud Sudan, è uno Stato senza sbocco sul mare nel centro-est dell'Africa, inserito nella subregione dell'Africa orientale delle Nazioni Unite. La sua capitale attuale è Giuba, che è anche la sua città più grande, ma si prevede che la capitale, in futuro, sarà trasferita nella più centrale Ramciel. Il Sudan del Sud confina con l'Etiopia ad est l'Uganda a sud, la Repubblica Democratica del Congo a sud-ovest, la Repubblica Centrafricana a ovest e la Repubblica del Sudan a nord. Esso comprende la vasta regione paludosa del Sudd, formata dal Nilo Bianco e conosciuta localmente come il Bahr al Jabal. I territori del moderno Sudan del Sud e della Repubblica del Sudan erano entrambi parte del regno d'Egitto, sotto la dinastia di Muhammad Ali, in seguito regolati come un condominio anglo-egiziano fino all'indipendenza sudanese del 1956. Dopo la prima guerra civile sudanese, nel 1972 fu costituita la regione autonoma del Sudan del Sud, abolita nel 1983. Si sviluppò quindi una seconda guerra civile sudanese, conclusasi con l'accordo di Naivasha del 2005. Nello stesso anno, con la formazione di un fu ripristinata l'autonomia della regione. Il Sudan del Sud è diventato uno Stato indipendente il 9 luglio 2011, a seguito di un referendum passato con il 98,83% dei voti. Si tratta di un paese membro delle Nazioni Unite, dell'Unione africana e dell'Autorità intergovernativa per lo sviluppo. Nel luglio del 2012 il Sudan del Sud ha firmato le convenzioni di Ginevra. Nel dicembre del 2013 è scoppiato un conflitto etnico tra le forze governative del presidente Kiir, di etnia dinka, e quelle fedeli all'ex vicepresidente Machar, di etnia nuer. Il conflitto è finito poi nel febbraio del 2020.

South Sudan's first brewery closed in 2016. However a new brewery was opened in 2024. South Beer is one of their most popular products.
In the towns of South Sudan such as Rumbek and Juba, Kenyan and Ugandan beers are starting to appear in bars at inflated cross-border prices. In Renk, you can even buy Red Horse, a Filipino beer!
Fresh fruit juices are available throughout South Sudan. One of the local juices is "aradeab" (tamarind) and juice made from the baobab fruit.
The clove-flavoured tea (chai) is very good. Outside the capital, you'll pay usually 10 SSP for a cup. Also try the ginger-flavoured coffee. In Renk, one cup of this is 100SSP (2019). Both are very sweet, so if you don't want sugar or you want it separately, say "Sukar bara" (serve sugar separate) when you order.

thumbnail|Village hut in South Sudan Although the level of violence has subsided since the establishment of the country and the end of the civil war, South Sudan remains dangerous for travel as ceasefire violations and boundary disputes have continued. Guns are freely and readily available to the populace, and it is not uncommon to hear gunshots being fired in broad daylight. Travel near the Sudan or Central African Republic borders is extremely dangerous. Western governments continue to advise against all travel to South Sudan and the adjacent regions in Sudan. Violent crime remains problematic; unexploded ordnance from years of civil war also poses hazards to civilians.
It's a malarial area, so before arriving, visit a tropical vaccination center to get prophylactic treatment and the necessary vaccines, including yellow fever, polio and hepatitis A and B. Be sure to sleep under a mosquito net and use mosquito repellent. Most of the South Sudanese drink water from the rivers, which exposes them to diarrhea and cholera. If bottled water is not available, boil/chlorinate the river water before drinking it.
Ebola may occur from time to time.
