	Sudan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Republic of the Sudan, or Republic of Sudan (in recent years the definite article has increasingly been dropped in common usage) is the largest country in Africa, situated in the northeast part of the continent.
		It borders Egypt to the north, the Red Sea to the northeast, Eritrea and Ethiopia to the east, Kenya and Uganda to the southeast, Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Central African Republic to the southwest, Chad to the west, and Libya to the northwest.
		Largest Christian denominations are the Roman Catholic church, the Episcopal Church of the Sudan, the Presbyterian Church in the Sudan and the Coptic Orthodox Church.

		It is bounded S. (I) by the maritime countries of the west coast of Africa, (2) by the basin of the Congo, and (3) by the equatorial lakes, and E. by the Abyssinian and Galla highlands.
		The Sudan having been reconquered by the joint military and financial efforts of Great Britain and Egypt, the British government claimed by right of conquest to share in the settlement of the administration and legislation of the country.
		The delimitation (1903-1904) of the frontier between the Sudan and Abyssinia enabled order to be restored in a particularly lawless region, and slave-raiding on a large scale ended in that quarter with the capture and execution of a notorious offender in 1904.

		Sudan is the largest country in Africa, with a population of 26 million and an annual rate of growth of 2.8%.
		Sudan is currently stymied in development efforts by an ongoing civil war in the South and its ostracism from the world community because of its support of terrorism.
		Sudan is suffering from the same explosive population growth and food needs of its neighbors, and may be expected to need as much as 33 bcm, or 13.5 bcm greater than its 1959 allocation, by 2025.

	Irrigation in the near east region in figures
		Sudan is situated in the north-eastern corner of Africa and is the largest African country, with a total area of about 2.5 million km².
		On the north-east it is bordered by the Red Sea and it shares common borders with nine countries: Eritrea and Ethiopia in the east, Kenya, Uganda and Zaire in the south, the Central African Republic, Chad and Libya in the west and Egypt in the north.
		The water balance of Sudan is very complex, due in part to extensive evaporation from the swamps, the best known being the Sudd or Jonglei area on the White Nile in the southern part of Sudan where only half the water entering the region is estimated to flow out of it.

		The rebels reportedly demanded the removal of government troops and Janjawid militias from Darfur as a precondition to political dialogue; a demand the government said was totally unrealistic.
		Meanwhile, the UN Secretary-General's Special Representative on the Internally Displaced Persons, Francis Deng, is on a weeklong tour to assess the situation in Darfur and in southern Sudan, where a 21-year-long civil war is nearing its end as a result of peace negotiations in Naivasha, Kenya.
