Citizens outside conflict areas generally enjoyed freedom of movement in 2006; some restrictions on foreigners' freedom of movement ("Country Report on Human Rights Practices 2006") [ID 19403]

"Movement generally was unhindered for citizens outside conflict areas; however, at times foreigners needed government permission for domestic travel outside of Khartoum, which could be difficult to obtain and sometimes refused. Foreigners must register with the police on entering the country, obtain permission to move from one location to another, and reregister at each new location within three days of arrival. The Government of Southern Sudan did not restrict the movement of foreigners in the south, although foreigners were required to register upon entry."
