According to estimates, South Sudan had the highest net migration rate in Africa as of 2023, at nearly 20 per 1,000 inhabitants. This meant that, for 1,000 people in South Sudan, 20 will immigrate to the country. The positive net immigration rate also indicated that the number of international migrants coming to South Sudan was higher than that of South Sudanese people leaving the nation. On the other hand, Eritrea had a net migration of minus 9.38 per 1,000 inhabitants. The negative rate indicated a number of emigrants higher than that of immigrants.
