The image above shows the entire continent of Africa with North Africa picked out in red. North Africa is formed from seven states: 1: Algeria; 2: Egypt; 3: Libya; 4: Morocco; 5: Sudan; 6: Tunisia and 7: Western Sahara (which is currently a disputed territory under the governance of Morocco). |
Sudan (Arabic: السودان as-Sūdān, lit., (country) of Blacks.); officially: جمهورية السودان; Jumhūriyyat as-Sūdān [Republic of (the) Sudan] is the largest African country by surface area and lies at the corssroads between the Horn of Africa and the Middle East. In 1993 the population was measured at 25 million. The Sudan has a diverse culture composed of Arabs with Nubian (Kushite) roots and non-Arab Black Africans – consisting of hundreds of ethnic and tribal divisions and language groups. This makes collaboration between them a major difficulty and accounts for the frequent civil wars in the courtry. Sudan's official languages are Arabic and English. Sudanese cuisine reflects the diverse nature of the country, with seafood predominating in the north where wheat is a staple, plantains and bananas are staples in the fertile east and freshwater fish is common in the south. The most common basic ingredients are: are Wheat, Beef and sheep meat, tomatoes, sesame seeds (Sudan is a great exporter of sesame) and rice. Southern Sudanese cookery has much in common with Ethiopian cuisine whereas northern and western Sudan reflects more of an Arabic influence. |
