Richard Bedard Located along the Red Sea and bordered by Egypt in the north, Sudan is a country in Africa with a population of over 20 and a half million people.
Islamic culture is very strong in the northern two-thirds of the country.
The Sudanese government led by the Islamic regime has been at war with the southern region for 17 years. Close to 2 million people have died in the south. More people from Southern Sudan and the Nuba Mountains have been murdered than all the victims in Kosovo, Bosnia and Rwanda combined. To make matters worse, the south is rich in oil. This has resulted in China giving money and weapons which include tanks, planes and bombs directly to the Sudanese government.
