1. History of Sudan.
Sudan is a country located in northeastern Africa with a rich and complex history. The name Sudan comes from the Arabic expression bilād al-sūdān ("black land"), meaning a settled African country originating on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert. Sudan was colonized for more than a century before it became an independent state. In its early history, Sudan was known as Nubia, where the Kingdom of Kerma was until it was absorbed by the new Kingdom of Egypt. Later, in the 11th century B.C., the kingdom of Kush gained independence from Egypt and survived in various forms until the mid-4th century A.D.
In more recent history, Sudan was involved in a civil war that lasted from 1955 to 1972, and with a second civil war that began in 1983 and lasted until 2005, Sudan became independent in 2011 with a comprehensive peace agreement. Africa's 54th independent country. But the separation of South Sudan has had an economic impact on Sudan, including the loss of oil imports, which accounted for more than half of Sudan's government's imports and more than 95% of its exports.

2. Economy of Sudan.
Sudan's economy is mainly based on agriculture, and cotton is one of the main cash crops. Sudan is also rich in mineral resources such as gold, silver, and copper. Sudan faced economic difficulties due to U.S.-imposed sanctions, but was lifted in 2020. Nevertheless, Sudan continues to face economic difficulties, including high inflation and massive foreign debt.
Sudan's economy is classified as a middle-income economy with a gross domestic product (GDP) of $59.9 billion in 2020. The World Bank and the African Development Bank (AfDB) are two main agencies that provide data on Sudan's economic development.
Sudan's economy has been plagued by macroeconomic imbalances and structural flaws in recent years, according to data from the World Bank. But there was a slight recovery in 2021, with GDP growing by about 0.5% compared to -3.6% in 2020. Agriculture and mining were the main drivers of growth, and private consumption and investment also contributed positively.
The AfDB notes that Sudan's economy faces a number of challenges, including high inflation, a huge fiscal deficit and low foreign exchange reserves. Nevertheless, the AfDB expects GDP growth to rise to 2.5% in 2022 on the back of improved macroeconomic conditions and infrastructure investment.
