Around 950 BC, it gained independence from Egyptian rule and established the Kingdom of Kush, which ruled Egypt at its peak. In the 7th century AD, a large number of Arabs migrated in, and in the 15th century, the Kingdom of Fingi emerged. In the 17th century, the Fur people established the Kingdom of Cordoba and the Sultanate of Darfur. In the 1870s, British influence expanded from Egypt to Sudan. In 1899, Sudan was jointly governed by Britain and Egypt. Co administration was abolished in 1951. On January 1, 1956, it gained independence as the Republic of Sudan. In 1969, it was renamed the Democratic Republic of Sudan, and in 1985 it was renamed the Republic of Sudan again. [1]

  • Libya

    Libya, also known as Libya, is a country in North Africa located on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, adjacent to Egypt, Sudan, Chad, Niger, Algeria, and Tunisia. Covering an area of 1.76 million square kilometers, the capital city is Tripoli, with a population of 7.2 million (as of 2023), mainly composed of Arabs, followed by Berbers. The country is divided into 22 provinces and 3 regions. [1]
    In the 3rd century BC, Libyans established a unified Kingdom of Numidia in their struggle against the rule of the Carthaginian Empire. [1] In the 7th century, the Arabs defeated the Byzantines, conquered the Berbers, and brought Arab culture and Islam. [1] In the 16th century, the Ottoman Empire captured Tripolitania (now western Libya) and Cyrenaica, taking control of the coastal areas. [1] In 1912, Libya became an Italian colony after the Italian Turkish War. [1] In early 1943, France and Britain respectively occupied southern and northern Libya. After World War II, the United Nations exercised jurisdiction over all of Libya’s territory. On December 24, 1951, Libya declared independence and established the federal United Kingdom of Libya, which was later renamed the Kingdom of Libya. [1] On September 1, 1969, the “Free Officers Organization” led by Gaddafi launched a coup, overthrew the Idris dynasty, and established the Libyan Arab Republic. In March 1977, the country changed its name to the Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Republic. In April 1986, the country changed its name to the Great Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Republic. In 2011, the Gaddafi regime was overthrown. In May 2013, the country was named Libya. [1] After the overthrow of the Gaddafi government, Libya fell into a long-term state of division and turmoil, with declining national strength, ineffective governance, and outdated infrastructure. [24]
    Libya is still in a transitional period, with political turmoil and frequent violent incidents. In 2022, Libya’s gross domestic product (GDP) was 38.8 billion US dollars, with a per capita GDP of 5465 US dollars and a GDP growth rate of -5.5%.

On July 1, 1960, Somalia established a republic. After the fall of the Siad regime in 1991, Somalia remained in a state of anarchy dominated by warlord armed separatism. Somaliland, located in the northwest, and the central regions of Bontland and southwestern Somalia are all essentially independent. [1]
    Somalia is one of the least developed countries. The economy is mainly based on animal husbandry, with a weak industrial foundation. In 2020, Somalia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was 4.918 billion US dollars, with a per capita GDP of 309 US dollars and a GDP growth rate of -1.459%. [1]
    On November 24, 2023 local time, Somalia officially became the 8th member state of the East African Community.

  • Djibouti

    The Republic of Djibouti; Arabic: جمههورイهイجイبوتイ; Djibouti, also known as La R é publique de Djibouti in French, is located on the west coast of the Gulf of Aden in northeastern Africa. It is a key gateway from the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, bordering Somalia to the southeast, Eritrea to the north, and Ethiopia to the west, southwest, and south. The country covers an area of 23200 square kilometers and is divided into one city and five regions. The capital city of Djibouti has a population of approximately 1.13 million, mainly consisting of the Issa and Afar ethnic groups. [1]
    Before the colonial invasion, Djibouti was ruled by three Sudanese kings: Houza, Tajura, and Obok. France began its invasion in 1850 and occupied the entire territory of Djibouti in 1888. In 1896, France established the “French Somalia” colonial government in Djibouti. In 1946, it became a French overseas territory and was renamed as the “French Territory of Afar and Issa” in 1967. The French government granted it actual autonomy. On December 31, 1975, France declared its agreement to Djibouti’s independence. On June 27, 1977, Djibouti declared independence and named itself the Republic of Djibouti.
    The strategic position of the Republic of Djibouti is very important. It has the largest military base of the US military in Africa, the largest military base of the French military overseas and the support base of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. Djibouti is one of the least developed countries in the world, with scarce natural resources, weak industrial and agricultural foundations, and unstable political situation. In 2021, Djibouti’s gross domestic product was 3.371 billion US dollars, with an economic growth rate of 4.3%.

  • Comoros Islands

    Union des Comores (French: Union des Comores); Comoros, also known as the Land of the Moon and the Land of Spices, is an island nation located in the Indian Ocean, at the northern entrance of the Mozambique Channel on the east side of Africa. It is approximately 300 kilometers east and west of Madagascar and Mozambique, respectively. The islands of Grande Comore, Anjouan, Moheil, and Mayotte, which make up Comoros, are known as the four pearls of the western Indian Ocean. With a land area of 2236 square kilometers (including Mayotte), the country is divided into three autonomous islands: Grande Comore, Anjouan, and Moheil. The capital is Moroni, with a population of approximately 870000 (as of 2023), mainly composed of Arab descendants, Kaff, Magoni, Uamacha, and Sakalava.
    Before the invasion of Western colonizers, it was ruled by Arab sultans for a long time. In 1841, France invaded Mayotte Island. In 1912, the four islands of Comoros became French colonies. In 1946, it became a French “Overseas Territory”. Obtained internal autonomy in 1961. On July 6, 1975, it gained independence and established the Republic of Comoros, with Ahmed Abdullah serving as its president. On October 22, 1978, the country changed its name to the Islamic Federal Republic of Comoros. In July 1997, Anjouan Island demanded independence from Comoros and became part of France, and declared independence in October. On December 23, 2001, Comoros passed a new constitution draft and decided to establish the Union of Comoros, granting the four islands a high degree of autonomy.
    Comoros is a member state of the African Union, Arab League, Indian Council, Indian Ocean Rim Union, Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, and Southern African Development Community. Comoros is one of the least developed countries in the world, with agriculture being the backbone of the country’s economy, a backward transportation system, a young and rapidly growing population, and a lack of natural resources. In 2023, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is expected to reach approximately 1.35 billion US dollars, with a GDP growth rate of 2.7% and a per capita GDP of 1587 US dollars. [1]
