The Republic of the Sudan is located in the northeastern area of Africa between Egypt and Eritrea and has over 800 kilometers of coastline on the Red Sea. The population is about 35 million people. Joint British-Egyptian rule over Sudan ended in 1956 and was followed by years of military regime governments. The present government is a federal republic with a president serving as both chief of state and head of government.
Many years of armed conflict, including the conflict in western Darfur, led to many thousands of deaths and millions of displaced persons. The prolonged north-south conflict in Sudan led to the secession and the formation of South Sudan in 2011 after a referendum that overwhelmingly endorsed an independent state. However, border demarcation and sharing of oil revenues are issues that are yet to be resolved with South Sudan.
Sudan faces the challenge of influxes of refugees from surrounding countries, mainly Ethiopia, South Sudan, Central African Republic, Chad, and Eritrea. Sudan could prosper in the absence of armed conflict given the large areas of cultivatable land, as well as gold and oil reserves.
