Sudan

Sudan is a northeastern African country known for its diverse landscapes, which include deserts, mountains, and the Nile River. It has a rich history, being home to one of the earliest civilizations and numerous ancient pyramids. Sudan gained independence from British-Egyptian rule in 1956 but has faced political instability, civil wars, and humanitarian crises, particularly in Darfur. The country was partitioned in 2011, leading to the creation of South Sudan. Sudan's economy relies on agriculture and natural resources, but it faces challenges due to conflicts and international sanctions. The capital is Khartoum, located at the confluence of the Blue and White Nile rivers.
