Sudan

Souq it out with some nomads along the Nile.

Sudan remains a politically unstable country. While the north remains calm, Darfur is wracked by crisis while the aftershocks of a decades-long civil war continue to reverberate across the south.

Military activity in the Darfur region is ravaging Sudan, with more than two million people displaced by the conflict so far. Recent attacks by militia have resulted in civilian deaths in western Sudan. African Union peace-keepers are stretched to the limit. Despite the peace treaty, swathes of southern Sudan remain unstable. There are also intermittent military operations in the Eritrean border area, and the border with Chad is currently closed due to ongoing rebel activity. Travellers should monitor local news and seek consular advice before travelling to Sudan.
