From South Sudan to Saint Martin
When travelling from South Sudan to Saint Martin: Some of your South Sudan plug types fit in Saint Martin (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency differs (50Hz → 60Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.
