Sudan
Sudan is a large African country, which has been plagued by war for many years. It is predominantly occupied by Arab people and is separated into two halves by the majestic Nile River. The Nile River has always been a natural resource for Sudan. It is also very ethnically diverse with people from all over the world. The country is full of many unknown facts, which may shock the average reader. These facts will be explained further below.
