Background on Sudan
Sudan is the largest country in Africa and 10th largest country in the world by land area. It is a predominately Arab country in northeastern Africa and could also be considered to be in the Middle East region – it even has a port on the Red Sea. Sudan is bounded to the north by Egypt, to the east by the Red Sea, Eritrea, and Ethiopia, to the south by Congo, Uganda and Kenya, to the west by Chad and the Central African Republic, and to the northwest by Libya. The population is 36 million people (in 2005 according to a UN estimate). Almost the entire population is racially Black African. Sudan has two distinct major cultures: Arabicized Black African Muslims (about 3/4 of the population) in the north; and non-Arabicized Black Africans (1/4 of the population), who are mostly Pagan/Animist with some Christians, in the south. Darfur, a part of the country that has been in the news a lot for the past couple years, is in the Arabicized north and consists of three large provinces, which altogether are as large as France, in the west of Sudan extending to the border with Chad. After a long history of European colonialism, continuing post-colonialism and civil war, Sudan is an underdeveloped country with a per capita GDP of US $783 (in 2005 according to the IMF). Sudan has petroleum - oil and natural gas - and other natural resources. The estimates of Sudan’s petroleum reserves vary widely, with the most extreme reckoning that Sudan’s reserves rival those of Saudi Arabia while others estimate much smaller but still significant petroleum deposits. Most of the petroleum is concentrated in the south and central parts of the country including some in the southern part of Darfur. There are rumors that there is uranium in Darfur.
