Welcome to Understanding Sudan

 

Welcome! The largest country in Africa, Sudan stands as a microcosm of the larger African experience offering a diversity of geography, histories, cultures, livelihoods, religions, and languages. A site of both horrific hostilities and extraordinary peace-making, Sudan continues to compel its citizens, neighbors and the international community to act to achieve a unified and constructive future. To assist in understanding these complexities, this online project provides a comprehensive web-based portal that offers factual and interpretive narratives and analyses of Sudan organized into thematic modules. It is geared towards educators, but also useful to researchers, the policymaking community, and the general public. We encourage you to explore the resources we have prepared and regularly visit Michael Kevane’s blog for commentary on the unfolding situation in Sudan.
