South Sudan
I just rode South from Khartoum to the Ugandan border (via Wau and Juba).
You need a permit in Khartoum, but otherwise no big hassles.
Except the road is quite poor.
Not paved and lots of potholes.
Very slippy when wet since clay.
Land mines on the sides at points.
Lots of military checkpoints: altho South of Wau they are very friendly.
Just before Wau they are quite aggressive.
Juba VERY expensive unless you find a free place to stay/support you.
One place just south of Rumbeck where the road is VERY bad for about 5km, but passable for 4x4 and motorbikes (trucks are stuck there for months in the rainy season).
But an experience.
