Sudanese history

Sudanese history is marked by ancient civilizations like Kush, followed by Islamic influences and colonial rule by Egypt and Britain. Post-independence in 1956, the country faced ongoing conflicts over religion, ethnicity, and resources, notably the Darfur crisis. A civil war from 1983 to 2005 led to South Sudan’s independence in 2011. Sudan has experienced military coups, transitional governments, and continued struggles with instability and human rights issues. Its history reflects a complex blend of cultural diversity, colonial legacies, and efforts toward peace and democracy amid ongoing challenges.
