Sudan

Sudan is situated between Egypt and the Horn of Africa on the Red Sea. The country is predominately Muslim, with both historical and contemporary ties to the Arab world. Over the last few decades, the country has suffered civil war, genocide, and almost thirty years of repressive rule under former President Omar al-Bashir. Bashir’s forced exit in 2019 has reinvigorated the possibility of a political and economic opening.
