Sudan

The Republic of Sudan (Arabic: جمهورية السودان); The Republic of the Sudan, abbreviated as Sudan, is located in northeastern Africa, along the Red Sea coast, at the eastern end of the Sahara Desert. With a land area of 1882000 square kilometers, it is the third largest country in Africa and the 15th largest country in the world in terms of area. The capital Khartoum has 18 states and a population of approximately 49.14 million (as of 2023). The main ethnic groups include Arabs, Beja, Fur, Nuba, and Black, with Arabs accounting for 70%. [1]
Sudan has a long history and has been the ancestral home of Nubians for generations. [1] From 2800 BC to 1000 BC, it was part of ancient Egypt. 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]
Sudan is listed as one of the world’s least developed countries by the United Nations, with a single economic structure, weak foundation, backward industry, and strong dependence on natural environment and foreign aid. In 2022, Sudan’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is $46.7 billion, with a per capita GDP of $592.
