Sudan's transport infrastructure in 1990 included an extensive railroad system that served the more important populated areas except in the far south, a meager road network (very little of which consisted of all-weather roads), a natural inland waterway--the Nile River and its tributaries--and a national airline that provided both international and domestic service.
Complementing this infrastructure was Port Sudan, a major deep-water port on the Red Sea, and a small but modern national merchant marine.

 Jim Moore's Journal: systems, society, inventing :
This is an opportunity for civil society to learn to use the techniques of modern communications to develop rapid response communications systems that can penetrate national borders, can evade censors, and that can help people connect with each other to liberate themselves.
This is in contrast to Sudan, which has censored radio and press, and among the lowest penetration of phones and cell phones, and almost no Internet access.  Only the Sudanese military, their proxies the Janjaweed, and the Chinese military overseeing the Sudanese oil fields enjoy high technology communications capabilities.
One of the things we need to do for Sudan, as our movement becomes longer-term and more like the campaign to free Burma, is focus on bridging the digital divide and opening up citizen-to-citizen communications.  Sudan is increasingly a Chinese client state, as is Burma, so this will not be easy.
