Sudan: A Multicultural Country in Northeast Africa

Sudan is located in northeastern Africa, with the Nile River running through its entire territory, bordering Egypt in the north, the Red Sea, Eritrea and Ethiopia in the east, Chad and Central Africa in the west, and South Sudan in the south. Khartoum, the capital, is the political, economic and cultural center, known as "the confluence of the Nile". Sudan has a long history and was once the core area of the ancient Nubian civilization, then experienced Egyptian rule, Ottoman rule, and formal independence in 1956. The economy is mainly agricultural, producing cotton and gum arabic, and oil resources were once an important pillar. As a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country, Arab culture is deeply integrated with African traditions, but in recent years, affected by civil war and political unrest, the humanitarian situation is critical. The Sudan was rich in natural landscapes, including deserts, grasslands and the Nile wetlands, but faced development challenges as a result of the conflict.
