Sudan, officially known as the Republic of Sudan, is a country located in Northeast Africa. Here are some key details:

Geography and Demographics

Sudan is the third-largest country in Africa, covering approximately 1.886 million square kilometers.
It is bordered by Egypt, Libya, Chad, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and the Red Sea.
The population of Sudan is diverse, with over 300 ethnic groups. The majority of the population adheres to Islam.

Ancient Kush was located in what is now Sudan, flourishing from around 1070 BC to 350 AD.
In the 19th century, Sudan was under the control of the Ottoman Empire and later became an Anglo-Egyptian condominium.
Sudan gained independence from Egypt and the United Kingdom on January 1, 1956.
The country has experienced significant internal conflict, including a civil war between the North and South, leading to the secession of South Sudan in 2011.

The government structure has transitioned from military rule to democracy and back. In 2019, long-time leader Omar al-Bashir was ousted after mass protests.
The political scene in Sudan has been marked by efforts towards democratic transition, with a transitional government established after al-Bashir's removal.

Sudan's economy has traditionally been based on agriculture, but oil production has become a significant contributor to GDP since the 1990s.
The country has faced economic challenges due to international sanctions, internal conflicts, and the secession of oil-rich South Sudan.

Sudanese culture is a rich tapestry influenced by its diverse ethnic groups, with Arabic and Nubian being major cultural elements.
Music, dance, and literature are significant aspects of Sudanese culture.
