"South Sudan will change its time zone by setting the clock back 1 hour on 
February 1, 2021, the government spokesperson has said.
According to the minister of information, Michael Makuei Lueth, South Sudan will 
change its offset from UTC+3 to UTC+2.
The change will be effective at 00:00 (midnight) on February 1, when clocks will 
be set back 1 hour to 23:00 (11:00 pm).
Currently, South Sudan uses Eastern Africa Time (EAT). The change will put the 
East African country on Central Africa Time (CAT).
After the change, South Sudan will observe the same local time as Egypt and Chad 
and neighboring Sudan."
