Sudan Independence Movement

The Sudan Independence Movement was a political effort during the 1950s aimed at ending British-Egyptian rule and establishing a sovereign Sudan. It involved protests, negotiations, and leadership from Sudanese politicians advocating for self-governance, national unity, and independence. The movement reflected Sudanese aspirations to control their political future while addressing diverse regional and ethnic identities. Ultimately, their efforts culminated in Sudan gaining independence from Anglo-Egyptian administration on January 1, 1956, establishing it as a separate nation and marking a significant step towards self-determination.
