[2]\n\nWHAT THIS MEANS FOR SOUTH SUDAN\nMakuei’s decision not to run in the December vote may reduce political stability, as South Sudan is linked to 33 US OFAC and Canada SEMA sanctions designations. [1][E2]\nThe UN’s warning about a ‘Super El Niño’ deepening the hunger crisis is especially concerning given the most severe government travel advisory World Monitor tracks for South Sudan is Do Not Travel. [2][E1]\n\nKEY RISKS\nThe 33 US OFAC and Canada SEMA sanctions designations linked to South Sudan pose a risk of further economic isolation. [E2]\nThe Do Not Travel advisory indicates a high risk to safety and security in South Sudan. [E1]\n\nWATCH ITEMS\nIt remains to be seen whether Makuei’s decision not to seek office will affect the December vote. [1]\nThe outcome of the UN’s warning about the ‘Super El Niño’ deepening the hunger crisis is unresolved. [2]",
